[00:00:00] Fortress Around Your Heart - Sting

[00:00:02] Written by：Sting

[00:00:18] Under the ruins of a walled city

[00:00:22] Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light

[00:00:26] No flags of truce no cries of pity

[00:00:30] The siege guns had been pounding all through the night

[00:00:33] It took a day to build the city

[00:00:38] We walked through it's streets in the afternoon

[00:00:42] As I returned across the fields I'd known

[00:00:46] I recognized the walls that I once made

[00:00:50] I had to stop in my tracks for fear

[00:00:53] Of walking on the mines I'd laid

[00:00:57] And if I built this fortress around your heart

[00:01:05] Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

[00:01:13] Then let me build a bridge

[00:01:17] For I cannot fill the chasm

[00:01:21] And let me set the battlements on fire

[00:01:33] Then I went off to fight some battle

[00:01:37] That I'd invented inside my head

[00:01:42] Away so long for years and years

[00:01:45] You probably thought or even wished that I was dead

[00:01:50] While the armies are all sleeping

[00:01:53] Beneath the tattered flag wed made

[00:01:57] I had to stop in my track for fear

[00:02:01] Of walking on the mines I'd laid

[00:02:04] And if I built this fortress around your heart

[00:02:13] Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

[00:02:21] Then let me build a bridge

[00:02:24] For I cannot fill the chasm

[00:02:29] Let me set the battlements on fire

[00:02:49] This prison has now become your home

[00:02:53] A sentence you seem prepared to pay

[00:02:57] It took a day to build the city

[00:03:01] We walked through its streets in the afternoon

[00:03:05] As I returned across the land I'd known

[00:03:09] I recognise the fields where I'd once played

[00:03:13] I had to stop in my tracks for fear

[00:03:16] Of walking on the mines I'd laid

[00:03:20] And if I built this fortress around your heart

[00:03:29] Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

[00:03:36] Then let me build a bridge

[00:03:40] For I cannot fill the chasm

[00:03:45] And let me set the battlements on fire
