Old Fortress

Bitter darkness all around
Laughing at my loneliness
I can see through these gray bars
And the light is fading out

From far away voices call me
Reminding me of the life I once had
And again, I have to face my plight
Make me strong on this lonely night

Between the sea and the sky
I can find hope and still see the light
Echoes of the life that I did have

My hope springs eternal and will not die
These dreams refuse to fade to black
Alone in my solitude a prisoner of lies

Innocent? No one cares
Yet again, the truth ignored
Does it matter? Should I care?
What is not, what is not fair?

From far away voices call me
Reminding me of my former life
Dry the tears that wash you from my mind
And regain what was once mine

Between the sea and the sky
I can find hope and still see the light
Echoes of the life that I did have

My hope springs eternal and will not die
These dreams refuse to fade to black
Alone in my solitude between two lives

Who's there? Jailer with no face
Who's there? Free me from this place
What am I? Am I still a man?
Dear God hear my plea set me free from this lie

Between the sea and the sky
I can find hope and still see the light
Echoes of the life that I did have

My hope springs eternal and will not die
These dreams refuse to fade to black
Alone in my solitude between two lives

Between the sea and the sky
I can find hope and still see the light
Echoes of the life that I did have

My hope springs eternal and will not die
These dreams refuse to fade to black
Alone in my solitude prisoner of lies
