Fortress
Alter Bridge

Am I lost to wander forever

Perhaps for the rest of my days?

If all that has been surrounded will just go to waste


You left me out in the distance

To wander this world on my own

Sometimes it’s so hard to admit it but I can’t let you go

I can’t let you go


[Chorus:]

Go on and take it all, go on and take it all

Fortress coming down

I know we can’t save it all I know we can’t save it all

Everything is gone

Oh I have seen it all Oh I have seen it all

Fortress coming down

Go on and take it all, go on and take it all


One thing I know is for certain

We cannot have all we want

Still this will not stop the hurting, It is never gone


Now I hold on to the one thing

Too fragile to stand on its own

The fortress we built it is crumbling still I can’t let go

I can’t let you go


[Chorus]


Fortress coming down


There’ll come a time, yes I know

There’ll come a time you’ll look back and regret when it’s gone

You’ll look back and regret when I’s gone

There’ll come a time yes I know

There’ll come a time you look back and regret when it’s gone

You’ll look back and regret when I’s gone


In the end, too far gone, this I can’t deny

Still I keep holding on and on

There’s still time

On the outside looking in everything seems fine

But the fortress caving in comes down

On me tonight


[Chorus]


Just take it all

Just take it all

Just take it all
