Buried Beds - Oh Lonely Fortress! lyrics

{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)
