The Citadel Lyrics

We were waiting for the moment

(Where are you?)

Drawn together by blood and a common bond

Life is the fleeting sun, we must disown it

(We'll find you)

and forge a higher ground

That will raise us to the clouds

They will never ever catch us lying down



Our weakness lies in the fact that we exist

Can you resist the lure of an existential fabric

That is woven by your wit

I'm laying down the groundwork

We could follow it down the line

Or through your spine

These thoughts are mine

And not your own

So give me life or lose your throne in time



(Don't run, don't hide)



This time, I'll try

To fight off opposition

Cause I won't let them get to me

These walls will hold them back til retreat

This time, we'll try

To limit their resources

And they won't weaken my defenses

I'm taking back what once belonged to me



Just one at a time, we'll bring them down

Just one at a time



Day by Day, we're making progress

The lines are moving forward to

Speed up this exhaustive process

We're going to make it over you

And you've been laying in these trenches

Just hoping to survive

And following your senses

That bring us back to mind



(This time we fight)



This time, I'll try

To fight off opposition

Cause I won't let them get to me

These walls will hold them back til retreat

This time, we'll try

To limit their resources

And they won't weaken my defenses

I'm taking back what once belonged to me



Just one at a time

Just one at a time, we'll bring them down



This could make or break us

But we're not leaving without our pride
