Two hours!
With four left wing kids
I spent time in Nazi Fortress
Much discussion in room C-H-1-O-C-H-11
I did not understand why
I could not accept the fact
that I'd accepted the contract
Much discussion in this institution
Much discussion in boiled beef and carrots
Room C-H-1-O-C-H-2-O-11
It was clear in the window eye
The brick outlined the blue sky
And I had to go round the gay graduates in the toilets
And Good King Harry was there
Much discussion in room C-H-1-O-C-H-2-O-11
Much discussion in room C-H-1-O-C-H-2-O-11

The wall inside, he built to defend himself.
He needs to hide, to keep independency.
The race is on, it can't be won.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress, caging in
for what you're here.
The pain inside, disappoinments everyday.
To keep his pride he can't find a better way (than)
to lock his mind, though he'll lose life.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress, caging in
for what you're here.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress in you head, oh.
A fortress caging in,
unreal behind your grin.
Security is lie,

Edmund Kemper solved it all
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
It then apears the proclaimation
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
Edmund Kemper solved it all
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
It then apears the proclaimation
He fooled the shrinks
Fooled the shrinks
The fortress of forever
Been forsaken
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Air, water, design
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Can we tamper
We have gained
Outerspace, outerspace
A million years
The devistation of
Outerspace, outerspace
Can we tamper
We have gained
Outerspace, outerspace
That's not true
that's not true
the human race, the human race
The fortress of forever
Been forsaken
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Air, water, design
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Fortress of forever
Been mistaken
Man made promise
Polluting of the sky (x2)
The fortress of forever
Been forsaken
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye
Air, water, design
Man made promise
Polluted with blue dye

It's bitter
Tastes a lot like winter
And will it- release me
So heavy
How much more to bring down the levy
And kill me - don't kill me
I've been stayin' high...
And I've been feelin' sorry
For myself
And I've been resurrecting my
Fortress to protect myself
Shattered
Tired, beaten, worn down and tattered
Can you-even hear hear me?
What do you expect out of me
I'm being buried alive and screaming
Can't you see - Can't you see me ?
Weary
My hands slapped I'm cautious and leary
Of tryin' - oh but I'm tryin'
How am I to figure it out
All alone I've been kickin' around

So now a hush falls on my heart,
My mind at ease, apologies as I start.
Overcome, love holds me near,
Pitiful boy, oh I am awed, try to be so sincere.
I come into
Your presence falling on my knees
Beautiful God,
Your face I seek
All I can give you is me,
My eyes are dim, and yet within I still see.
Everything disappears,
You are there,
My heart wells up, why do You love?
Oh Lord, why do You care?
In the stillness, the quiet,
In the peace,
You are there.
The idols gone, my mind is free,
Your love for me, my sins You chose to bear.
You are there, my fortress, my comfort.
You are there, my Friend, my God.
You are here, my fortress, my comfort.

Too long til fall, sick summer in bed
You and a lazy mood
Ten times the fall, spread, sacked, and I've failed
Nobody move, nobody move
To long to fall
Sat shiver in bed
You and a test of will
Too many fallen, too many failed
Nobody move, nobody move
Days with the light off, freezing
You and I, uneasy, livid
Stop, it's too late
I'm feeling frustrated
I see no sign of fortress
I see no sign of fortress
Safe as a cootie wootie with you
Never pretend the chill
Too many shadows, too many sails
Nobody move, nobody move
Summer is only winter with you
How can you really feel?
Two of another, none of a pair
Nobody move, nobody move
Days with the light off, freezing
You and I, uneasy, livid
Stop, it's too late
I'm feeling frustrated
I see no sign of fortress
I see no sign of fortress
Another delay, too many hassles

The blasting echoes of a real perception
a vitue of those who have perished
and for their everlasting dominance I sealed my fate
a will so strong it vanishes the damnation
Yes, the power to reign, to dominate again
in fury and in honor, through my eyes I seek the lost
torch
visions of my inner conflictuality, joined by the birth
of Mourning
Blood-Red sun bathed crypts of Abysmal Chaos
Since the early stages of this defined Retribution
Never surrender, and fight 'till the end
So we walk in grief, but we march in Victory
because this destiny is my own creation
Failure is unknown, Triumph is the all.
Hammering the last nails of their Fragmented coffins
(a symbol of their own impending defeat)

We are facing the night together
Sitting side by side
You are like a guarded fortress
Ready for a try
Side by side - I feel the call
Side by side - just like my first girl
But I know your fortress
Your fortress has no walls
Yes, I know your fortress has no walls - no walls
Looking in your eyes and smiling
Why am I afraid
I can take this fortress now
It's ready to be made
Face to face - I feel the call
Face to face - just like my first girl
Chorus:
Face to face - I feel the call
Face to face - just like my first girl...

She was alone for so long
That her heart built a wall
And all who tried to get in
Coudln't even go near
Yet deep inside that fortress
Was a lost little girl
Crying out to be seen
And to love tenderly
He had journeyed so far
Noone's foul would he be
And every moment he swore
That his heart would stay free
Yet deep inside that wanderer
Was a lost little boy
Crying out to be seen
And to love tenderly
Seems to me the child in all of us
Is not so very small
Longing to lie in arms of love
And give our one and all
And it's such a precious blessing
When real love comes to call
But we'd rather build a fortress
Than break down all our walls
She fell apart at the seams
When his love came along
He didn't know what to feel
'Cause he felt it so strong
Seems to me the child in all of us
Is not so very small
Longing to lie in arms of love
And give our one and all
And it's such a precious blessing
When real love comes to call
But we'd rather build a fortress
Than break down all our walls
And it's such a precious blessing
When real love comes to call
But we'd rather build a fortress
Than break down all our walls
Yes we'd rather build a fortress

I was joking
With my sorrows
Always hanging
On tomorrow
I've been crying
Just a million tears away
When I found out
People start to talk
Try to tell me
There's no way for me in the world
I've been crying
Just a million tears away
I've been searching
Just a million times again
Only need a fortress
When we could be all alone
Find a place to reach
The summum of your love
I'm in loving
I'll be loving
I mean loving you tonight
I'm a strong man
But it's all so much
Never thought it
But it can't be so cruel
I've been crying
just a million tears away
I've been travelling
Just a million miles away
Just be loving you
Another day
Another day for love
Another day
Gonna make you understand
It'll be so nice

Too long 'till fall
Sick summer in bed
You and a lazy mood
Ten times the fall
Spread, sacked, and I've failed
Nobody move
To far long to fall
Sat shiver in bed
You and a test of will
Too many fallen, too many failed
Nobody move
Days with the light off, freezing
You and I, uneasy, livid
Stop, it's too late
I'm feeling frustrated
I see no sign of fortress
Safe as a cootie wootie with you
Never pretend the chill
Too many shadows, too many sails
Nobody move
Summer is only winter with you
How can you really feel
Two of another, none of a pair
Nobody move
Another delay, too many hassles
Where do we go
How do we follow

You never thought you could run away
from the scenes in your head
You never thought you would cast away
All the lines you’ve been fed.
If reason and justice, dampen the flame
Then freedom, remorseless enters the game
Even if you fall, even if you fall
I’ll be your fortress.
Even if you run, even if you run
I’ll be your fortress.
Some day you’re gonna realise
That my heart is your home
And trust will not be compromised
‘cos you’re never alone
and seasons will come and go
but I’ll be there to wipe the tears from your eyes
to comfort your weary heart over time, over time
Even if you fall, even if you fall
I’ll be your fortress.
Even if you run, even if you run
I’ll be your fortress.
Even if you fall, even if you fall
I’ll be your fortress.
Even if you run, even if you run

(Verse 1)
The Lord is my shepherd and I'm satisfied. I've got what I need: Jesus Is
everything.
Sometimes I get lonely, down in despair. I take it to my God, I know He
answers my prayer.
Enemies surround me, setting traps for my soul. Gotta keep focusing on my
goal: gotta let them know
Greater is the Lord that lives inside of me than he that is in the world
I've got the victory!
(Chorus)
Jesus is my fortress: Took the curse from my life and made me blessed.
I don't have to be afraid; I'm rollin' with Christ and I got it made.
Repeat
(Verse 2)
It's always good to know the Lord is on my side, in His arms I can abide
No mountain is too high, no valley is too deep. Jehovah hears my cry and I
know
Angels got my back in every battle that I face. I don't worry 'bout
provision; God's grace is sufficient.
No weapon that is formed shall accomplish anything. That's the reason I can
sing!
(Chorus 2x)
(Rap)
Me and Christ we like homies for life, much respect due for all the pain
that He went through
Now I’ma always hold it down with the sound that will turn your life
around; break the devil down
Peep the rhyme flow comin’ from the Effervescent, I’m always blessed kid,
never stressin’, study my lessons
I keep growin’ like a beanstalk; speed knots I give to demons make the
devil wake up screaming.
It’s the demon slayer comin’ from the house of prayer; walk your city with
more authority than your mayor.
My source of power’s spiritual manifested in lyrical form I get reborn
every time I get my praise on.
I see clearly ‘cause the rain is gone, read the Word in the storm and it
made me strong.
Some cats be losin’ focus like a broken camera, living life without Christ:
they try’n to box with no stamina
I’ma still be standin’ in the last round yo; for every blow the devil throw
I got a brand new flow we bumped
Heads before and to prove it I got scars. When this battles over, I’ll
still be shining like a star.
I’m on the rise my destination is beyond the skies, my enemies read your
destiny in Psalm 35.
Realize: I still progress because I’m blessed by his Royal Highness and you
could never penetrate my fortess
Bridge:
Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord
Faithful, Faithful, Faithful Is the Lord
I’ve never known Jesus to let me down, placed my feet on solid ground
Never known a love like this before, got me comin’ back for more
Oh the blood of Jesus
I can sing and shout; he has brought me out!

Our God is a might fortress
A might fortress is our God
Our God is a mighty fortress
A mighty fortress is our God
Our God is a mighty fortress
A mighty fortress is our God
Our God is a mighty fortress
A mighty fortress is our God
And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The prince of darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
Our God is a mighty fortress
A mighty fortress is our God
Our God is a mighty fortress

You who's coming up the stairs,
Shouting-
I'm coming, dying like sick disgusting...
I wish they'd understand.
We might clear out.
I'm stuck with my mind in the gutter...
Hey, little thing.
Hey, little thing within.
Don't believe these stories.
Don't let them in.
There's only one for you.
There's one within that's true.
If you see truth for sale,
And buy it with your soul,
You'll see confetti flying, color bearing the Earth.
And when the fanfare dies away, the silence sucks you in its wake
To spend a lifetime living out, the fantasies of salesmen.
Underneath the thoughts beneath your feet,
There's a fortress-
Dig deep!
The slings and arrows never breached your walls.
The tales have smothered them all,
So bring in the archaeologists
To unearth your heritage and take you home.
There was a picture, hung in the nursery
Drawn from faded scripture, to teach me what to see:
A world where we're all helpless sinners,
Damned in weakness to slavery.
I voted in, gave up my eyes, drew in the shining myths,
The selfless deeds, the battle cries, the conquerors, the kings.
And so I drowned into a land, and watched my blunted teeth dissolve.
The sweet acidic resignation, damned to breathe obedience.
Underneath the thoughts beneath your feet,
There's a fortress-
Dig deep!
The slings and arrows never breached your walls.
The tales have smothered them all,
So bring in the archaeologists
To unearth your heritage and take you home.
The walls you thought were lost weren't walls at all,
No one truer victory!
Bring in the archaeologists

Encircled. Sodom's children on every side. Feeding
their selfishness with no regard for the pain that
their actions bring. Forked tounges spill promises
of release through submission through carnal
thoughts. Their greed or a drug induced deadened
state. Pain awaits the fools who fall prey to the
lies. Time melts their false idols into pools of
worthless lead. Exhume myself from the wreckage to
drag my body free. Crawling through the ashes as
their profane creation collapses in upon itself.
Unscatched. I have not partaken. The X symbolizes
my lifetime committment to live free from their
poisons. I've built myself to last. Fortress. Time
melts their false idols into pools of worthless
lead. Encircled. Sodom's children on every side.
Feeding their selfishness with no regard for the

(Mmm mmm, Mmm mmm)
Baby can you help me?
I think I've lost my way.
I'm in need of shelter,
Far above this place.
I can see a castle,
High up on this hill.
Could it be my freedom,
Left to my own will?
I thought I, was holding on,
But my heart slipped away.
There's nothing wrong,
That's my song,
I wanna let it play.
I wanna let it play.
This love, needs a home.
Strong, storm by storm.
We'll build a fortress, around us,
Keep us safe from harm.
This love, needs a home.
Strong, storm by storm.
We'll build a fortress,
A place to call our own.
(Mmm mmm, Mmm mmm)
I woke up this morning,
To a battle in the sky.
The only light before me,
Is coming from your eyes.
I feel a little insecure,
Cause I've been wrong before.
If only we can hide away,
I wouldn't have to worry anymore.
I thought I was holding on,
But my heart slipped away.
There's nothing wrong,
That's my song,
I wanna let it play.
I wanna let it play.
This love, needs a home.
Strong, storm by storm.
We'll build a fortress, around us,
Keep us safe from harm.
Baby we're onto something
(What I've been looking for)
I've found a refuge
(you'll protect me from the storm)
Go ahead, show me,
That love can change the weather, for the better.
This love, needs a home.
Strong, storm by storm.
We'll build a fortress, around us,
Keep us safe from harm.
Mmm mmm Mmm mmm...
(Storm by storm)
Mmm mmm Mmm mmm...

Years of pain and suffering Built up these cold walls of
stone A once honest king was robbed Of his life and
throne The army it contained Ran wild with mouths afoam
Thrown helplessly from grace Now broken and alone NO ONE
GETS IN NO ONE GETS OUT Secure within these walls of
