Oh the fortress lies beyond the wooded milling, through old oak village and on to Miller's clearing
That's where hope and despair meets to form the most stubborn of pairs
And you can catch me there from time to time, laughing the old laughs through memories of mine
Oh how the flood of emotion at times cripples me, but I dare not entertain such a defeat, such a defeat
Down the mountain comes the mighty fall, back through reality, back through the siren's call
Not tempted by a dream that implicates the sounds to wash it all away through drunkenness abound
And you can catch me there from time to time, laughing the old laughs through memories of mine
Oh how the flood of emotion at times cripples me, but I dare not entertain such a defeat, such a defeat
