A soul built a fortress For the souls he knew and loved One of them was fearless One of them above Above all the nagging Asking to be saved Breathing water gagging On what the anger gave Surely the man was safe In his fortress with his souls Digging his own grave He surely was the fool There was a morbid growth Living deep within Always fighting drove His thoughts to be so grim He had no small conception Knowing small perception That the souls he knew so true There in his fortress slew Each other for a bite Fighting for their right Was this the real pattern Of their great concern? YOU built this fortress It is you who is to blame How are you so thoughtless Now drown there in your shame! For no matter how protection Kept them from the feared They had not small projection Of where the ship was steered Looming forward ** To death at a row! We are together now Safe oh safe somehow Safe from all without This fortress tall and stout But I say you to right now The truth is but a cloud In the stormy sky That is the deadly lie There is no love within Not with those the kin But always more to ask Beat me to the task He built our fortress yes Let's put it to the test And as the beast then grew Swallowing the truth Eating souls of children Nothing more to fill them The sight that he then had To see his kin so clad Blood dripping from the teeth Hungry still for souls to eat Subjects to a boy, just a little man Objects to the toy, bones drawn in the sand There is no more to take When you're toy does break And then does fast rebuild Forever to be filled And the boy then walked away Now a stranger to the fray And all he can say "They WILL be free someday."
