thrawsunblat – here i am a fortress lyrics
ere i am a fortress
heavy were my days; sleep wore my nights;
toil was my bane; but stone was my will
o my allies in blood and in spirit—
together we roam the brimming glades!
but on my own i face the wailing winds
of languor, so here i am a fortress
fashioned from the surrounding land
i stand against the winds
here strength i summon and travel inward;
i see into the earth
its ore i gather, and smelt out in the depths
of this fortress mine
so when we gather, then i emerge
and i bear for you shimmering ore
among the rocks did i lay; among the roots did i slumber;
in the earth did i sleep; i was devoured by the sun
i was washed into the sea; i became naught but purpose;
but then i rose and strong i stood
against the weight i chose to carry
a fortress i am and here i stand
fashioned i am from this land
life is not simply to breathe
nor to break back for others’ intents
life is to grow, to struggle free
to -ssert one’s own unique existence
a fortress of stone is what i am
fashioned i am from this land
first crumbled down, down
indiscernible from earth
