Fortress Songtext
von Waterdown

Close your eyes, can′t control your feet
You're desperate, a captive, a fugitive
Amazed, if this is bravery, it still feels like fear
Now you′re on his
For all the power thrall, you're not a citizen
They can't see you
Unless you drown, they will find you
They will haunt you through the darkness that surrounds you

A continent turned to a fortress
The borders are armed to secure it
This looks like a peaceful coast
Except for the dead bodies

All your dreams dead or alive, torn apart
You′re desperate, a captive, a fugitive
Unless you die, they set you back
They can see you through the darkness that surrounds you


A continent turned to a fortress
The borders are armed to secure it
This looks like a peaceful coast
Except for the dead bodies
A continent turned to a fortress
The borders are armed to secure it
This looks like a peaceful coast
Except for the dead bodies

"There are, uh, other elements involved in Article 25. The World
Health Organization has pointed out that what it calls the
Devastation of hunger isn′t clearly in violation of Article 25
Mr. Chairman. They have also pointed out that there are more
Deaths every ten years from hunger than during both World Wars
So that has no status from the relativistic standard of the rich
In fact, the U.S. acts forthrightly to increase it. It's a
Striking example of that, if we, uh, can′t bargain against it too"

A continent turned to a fortress
The borders are armed to secure it
A continent turned to a fortress
The borders are armed to secure it
This looks like a peaceful coast
Except for the dead, except for the dead bodies
A continent turned to a fortress (dead bodies)
The borders are armed to secure it (dead bodies)
This looks like a peaceful coast (dead bodies)
Except for the dead, except for the dead
