Lyrics
[Intro]
In the shadows of the twilight
Where the whispers meet the wind
Stands a fortress old and mighty
Guarding secrets deep within
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Through the ages, it has stood there
Weathered storms and battles fierce
With its stones now worn and weary
It holds memories and tears
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I approached its ancient gateway
Felt the echoes of the past
In the silence, heard the voices
Of the ones who breathed their last
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The last bastion, strong and true
In its halls, the stories grew
Of a time when hope was bright
In the darkest of the night
[Keyboard Solo]
[Verse 3]
I walked through its empty chambers
Touched the walls that knew of pain
In the stillness, felt the power
Of the lives that fought in vain
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Electric Guitar and Keyboard Harmony]
[Verse 4]
Once a beacon of salvation
Now it stands in solemn grace
As the world around it changes
It remains, a sacred place
[Verse 5]
In the courtyard, wildflowers bloom
Breaking through the cracks of stone
A reminder, life continues
Even when we're all alone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 6]
I could feel the spirits linger
In the air, their whispers clear
Telling tales of love and valor
Of their joys and of their fears
[Verse 7]
As the sun set on the horizon
Casting shadows long and deep
I knew this place would stand forever
In my heart, its soul I'd keep
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 8]
Leaving then, I felt a sadness
For the time that slipped away
But the bastion stood as ever
Guarding night, welcoming day
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
In the shadows of the twilight
Where the whispers meet the wind
Stands a fortress old and mighty
Guarding secrets deep within
[Big Finish]
[End]
