The Fortress (1991 demo) Lyrics


When the sun will rise, I'll wake up in the morning

Aged another day - existence slips away

A wounded life - a wounded destiny in a non-caring world

That used to be my friend, used to be my friend

Sentenced to a depressive life

By a world where only ignorance seems to be

You're watching out for me

But I'm afraid to take your hand

You don't seem to understand

Curiosity for what they feel inside

Are they what they seem to be

I can't keep, I can't keep away

Sentenced to a depressive life

By a world where only ignorance seems to be

Imbeciles acting civilized, surrounding me all the time

Too much for me, I can't follow their policy

They give me no chance to live

I will retreat, it's best for me to live in shelter

Avoiding pain, I have to stay sane to the end

Sentenced to a depressive life

By a world where only ignorance seems to be

Am I mad - am I insane?

I've got this inner voice that says surface could be changed

A wounded life - a wounded destiny in a non-caring world

You've got your armour around you like a fortress

You're sealed from outer sight

But you can never deny you have tasted

The forbidden fruits of life

Sentenced to a depressive life

By a world where only ignorance seems to be

As the sun goes down, I find my life is wasted

Time for me to leave, existence slips away
