Fortress Songtext
von Lightning in a Twilight Hour

Sunlight spills across your face
From long ago
I catch your smile
We built a safe and sacred space
On what we carried for a while

Built on stillness
Built from fire
Built to tend the quiet part
A sanctuary
For anyone
Who harbours an enquiring heart

We built ourselves a fortress
On what we found but couldn′t keep
And even now that fortress
Tells of how
We once believed


What we fell upon
When our paths crossed
Lifetimes are spent
Looking for
What we fell upon
When our paths crossed
Remains out there
Never lost

Built on stillness
Built from fire
Built to tend the quiet part

We built ourselves a fortress
On what we found but couldn't keep
And even now that fortress
Tells of how
We once believed

It′s just that time will not allow
The sky that once was ours
It's just that time will not allow
Those stars to be with us now
