John Harle & Marc Almond - Fortress Lyrics

John Harle & Marc Almond Lyrics

"Fortress"

Every cry of every man
Every song and every eye
Every voice and every sigh
Runs in blood until you die
Every cry of every man
Every hour of our desire
Every voice and every sigh
Runs in blood until you die

In every cry of every man
In every infant's cry of fear
In every voice in every band
The mind forged manicles I hear

London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London arrow of desire

I wander through each chartered street
Where the chartered Thames does flow
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness marks of woe
Through the midnight streets I hear
How the youthful harlots curse
Blast the newborn infant's tear
And blight with plague the marriage hearse

London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London arrow of desire

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear old clouds unfold
Bring me my chariots of fire

London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London until you die
London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London till you die
London until you die
London until you die
London until you die
