"Fortress" lyrics

Somewhere in the distance
Sleepers wake and move to make amends

Subjected to the truth by others
Order has to be restored

If no one dares to move it never ends

Out of the dark
Armed and controlled
Writing a story yet untold
Of too many men unwilling to face the cold

You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
Oh...
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That they can never tear you down

Somewhere in revolting ways
A merciless resistance is taking place

Determined to regain their lost land
No matter what the cost may be

Victorious for the human race

Fighting their way into the light
No one gives in without a fight
Perpetual dispute of who's wrong and who is right

The ground we're standing on once the subject of desire
Now as the war's been fought and won
We'll protect it with fire

You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
Oh...
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That they can never tear you down

From that fortress you call your home
From that fortress

You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
Oh...
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That they can never tear you down

You better run this town
You need their backs against the wall
Don't let emotions drag you down
Oh...
You'll have to wear that crown
You'll have to show them once and for all
That they can never tear you down
