Once my world was vast,
I strided in robes of gold;
And rabid for all I passed
But knowing my heart was cold.

 

Now my world is small;
I fashioned it in my hand;
Rich despite the wall;
Living on plush, green land.

​

I dropped my crushing weight
And broke like a bird set free;
For the road I knew ran straight
To where my eyes could see.

​Here at last;
Calling this FORTRESS home.

​

Calm behind my gate,
Shielded from worldly sins;
In the still I wait;
I'll be ready when life begins.

​

When the shadows rule the earth
And demons are running free;
I will have suffered my rebirth
And delivered me.​

Here at last;
Calling this FORTRESS home.
