"Fortress" lyrics
"Fortress"
Am I lost to wander forever
Perhaps for the rest of my days?
If all that has been surrendered will just go to waste
You left me out in the distance
To wander this world on my own
Sometimes it's so hard to admit it
But I can't let go, I can't let you go
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all
(Fortress coming down)
I know we can't save it all
I know we can't save it all
Everything is gone
Oh, I have seen it all
Oh, I have seen it all
(The fortress coming down)
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all
One thing I know is for certain
We cannot have all we want
Still, this will not stop the hurting
It is never gone
Now I hold on to the one thing
Too fragile to stand on its own
The fortress we built, it is crumbling
Still I can't let go, I can't let you go
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all
(Fortress coming down)
I know we can't save it all
I know we can't save it all
Everything is gone
Oh, I have seen it all
Oh, I have seen it all
(The fortress coming down)
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all
Fortress coming down
Whoa, there'll come a time, yes I know
There'll come a time
You'll look back and regret when it's gone
You'll look back and regret when it's gone
Oh, there'll come a time, yes I know
There'll come a time
You'll look back and regret when it's gone
You'll look back and regret when it's gone
In the end, too far gone
This I can't deny
Still, I keep holding on and on
There's still time
On the outside looking in
Everything seems fine
But the fortress caving in
Comes down on me tonight
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all
(Fortress coming down)
I know we can't save it all
I know we can't save it all
Everything is gone
Oh, I have seen it all
Oh, I have seen it all
(The fortress coming down)
Go on and take it all
Go on and take it all
Just take it all
Just take it all
Just take it all

Audioslave - "Be Yourself" Someone falls to pieces, sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain, spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited in a chapel yard, catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen white...
Black Stone Cherry - "Lonely Train" Big train rolling down the line
Makes me lonely
Sometimes I wish to ride away
Sometimes I want to ride away
Yeah
Big plane flying through the clouds
Makes me worry
Sometimes I wish to fly...
Sixx:A.M. - "Skin" Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Maybe then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain
Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It's a losing battle
There's no need to be...
Rival Sons - "Do Your Worst" You see that stranger
Coming up the hill
If you don't recognize him
I know your preacher will
He's got a voice like sugar
Sugar in your tea
And he can sing you any song
Sing it sweeter than me
Blind...
Disturbed - "Stricken" You walk on like a woman in suffering
Won't even bother now to tell me why
You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
Leaving me broken another time
You come on like a bloodstained hurricane...
