A Fortress Dark (2017 remaster)

It has become eternal stone

What once was flesh and bone

To guard this fortress dark

With a stone cold heart

Atop the towers highest peaks

Part of the wall the carved beasts

Forever silent untiring guards

Lurking with their stone cold hearts

Years and years creep by in this silent eternity

Endless halls and passages walked by the dead alone

And in the heat heart of the darkness

I sit in silent communion with the beast cast in stone

Silence falls, eternal night, a fortress dark in the pale moonlight

And the banshees howl of my unkind fate

It has become eternal stone

What once was flesh and bone

To guard this fortress dark

With a stone cold heart

Atop the towers highest peaks

Part of the wall the carved beasts

Forever silent untiring guards

Lurking with their stone cold hearts

In a fortress dark

Legend of the dark fortress

Beware if you tread the paths of the other side
