Under the ruins

Of a walled city
No flags of truce,

No cries of pity
It took a day

To build the city
As I returned

Across the fields
I'd known
I recognized the walls

Thai I'd once made
Of walking on

The mines I laid, and

If I built this fortress
Around your heart
Encircled you

In trenches and
Barbed wire
Then let me
Build a bridge,

For I cannot
Fill your chasm
Then lei me set

The bafflemenis on fire
Then I went off

To fight some baffle
Away so long

For years and years
Beneath the iaifered flag

We'd made
Of walking on

The mines I laid, and

If I built this fortress
Around your heart
Encircled you

In trenches and
Barbed wire
Then let me
Build a bridge,

For I cannot
Fill the chasm
And let me set

The bafflemenis on fire
(Instrumental Break)
A sentence you seem

Prepared to pay
We walked

Through its streets
In the afternoon
Had to stop in my tracks

For fear
Of walking on

The mines I laid, and

If I built this fortress
Around your heart
Encircled you

In trenches and
Barbed wire
Then let me
Build a bridge,

For I cannot
Fill the chasm
Then lei me set

The bafflemenis on fire
