Oh Lonely Fortress! Lyrics by Buried Beds

2013

[Verse]
There's always been a buzz, the locusts swarming up
From underneath our guilty feet
A giant underground, with a castle for a crown
An ancient fast asleep
[Chorus]
But there's a voice in our ear, and a crack in the mirror
A passage left out of the psalm
Oh lonely fortress! (Aaahhh!)
[Verse]
Well the word it spread through town
And the word was written down
"Just as the nightshade came from seed
We are tethered by this gravity!"
[Chorus]
If not on the word we rely, than not on the world we rely
Oh lonely fortress! (Aaahhh!) (x2)
[Bridge]
We'll count down the years, ‘til thе earth starts to quake
The mountains will crumblе, the red pine will break
As the echoes surround, and a trade wind appears
We'll make like a ghost, we'll make like a ghost (hollow as a dream)
With dreams light as feathers, this life like a stone
Will sink to the bottom of our ocean alone
As my lungs fill with fire, through watery eye
I see the stars re-align (x10)
[Chorus]
If not on the word we rely, than not on the world we rely
Oh lonely fortress! (Aaahhh!) (x2)
Oh lonely fortreeessss! (x3)
