Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart
Under the ruins of a walled cityCrumbling towers in beams of yellow lightNo flags of truce no cries of pityThe siege guns had been pounding all through the nightIt took a day to build the cityWe walked through its streets in the afternoonAs I returned across the fields I'd knownI recognized the walls that I once laidI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidAnd if I have built this fortress around your heartEncircled you in trenches and barbed wireThen let me build a bridgeFor I cannot fill the chasmAnd let me set the battlements on fireThen I went off to fight some battleThat I'd invented inside my headAway so long for years and yearsYou probably thought or even wished that I was deadWhile the armies all are sleepingBeneath the tattered flag we'd madeI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laidThis prison has now become your homeA sentence you seem prepared to payIt took a day to build the cityWe walked through its streets in the afternoonAs I returned across the lands I'd knownI recognized the fields where I'd once playedI had to stop in my tracks for fearOf walking on the mines I'd laid
