Under Siege
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The fortress is under siege
The enemy is closing, closing, closing, closing in
Quickly learning, learning, learning
Now need to outrun the veil
Gears are turning, turning, turning
No escaping from this jail
With every step, with every breath
I'm hunted down by my certain death
I failed to protect you
And this is the cost
In this lonely labyrinth, I'm lost
Heart still yearning, yearning, yearning
Portrait hangs upon the wall
Rage is burning, burning, burning
How could I have let you fall?
The paint will fade, the guilt not so
With the burden of your death I'll go
Your eyes do not shine
They look down and condemn
As it should be - how I failed, my friend!
Seas are pounding, pounding, pounding
Castle beaten wave on wave
Death knoll sounding, sounding, sounding
As I dig my empty grave
I think of yours, so far away
The image haunting me both night and day
I spout off confessions
Yet none are so true
As the fact that I have failed you
The fortress is under siege
The enemy is closing in
I'll peck, peck, peck consistently
That is what a little bird taught me
Around and around
While the stars plot their course
I will make it through with shows of force
The fortress is under siege
The enemy is closing, closing, closing in
