_ [G] _ _ _ Under the ruins of a walled city _ Crumbling towers and beams of yellow lights
No flags of truth, no cries of pity _ [Dm] Siege [G] guns are being pounded through the
night _ [D#] It took a day to build [G#] the city
_ [D#] We walked through its streets in the [G#] afternoon _ [C#] As I [F#] returned across the fields I'd known
[C#] I [F#] recognized the walls that I'd once made [C#] Had [F#] to stop in my tracks for fear
[B] Of walking on the lines I'd [Em] landed

finished, [Am] for [D] again I'd built a thousand _ _ [Cm] [Dm] Then we set [D#] the battle [F] with [G] some fire

I felt [G]
this [Am] fortress _ [D] hurl below A _ _ [Em] circle of [G] human friends turned [Am] by [D] the way
