Stone on stone

Stone on stone
 Forming defenses from the crowd
 Brick by brick climbing the sky
 No asking where when or now
 Nor solving the mystery of why

 Supposed to lead us all as one
 The only thing they do is lead us on
 So just be careful where you tread
 Obstacles and traps ahead

 Mudfilled trenches, barbwired fences
 Spotlights on the wall
 Guards assemble, fingers tremble
 As the sirens call
 But nothing's gonna stop us
 Till the inner circle falls

 Step by step advancing
 Closer to the core
 Megaphones that never cease
 Old slogans all heard before
 Shout freedom as a metaphor for peace
 Oh please

 The rising drawbridge's not so far
 We're run as catapults recharge
 It is no longer safe to hide
 See you on the other side

 Mudfilled trenches, barbwired fences
 Spotlights on the wall
 Guards assemble, fingers tremble
 As the sirens call
 But nothing's gonna stop us
 Till the inner circle falls
