Fortress Of Solitude Lyrics - Brave Saint Saturn

I am the ghost 

Of haunting hope 

A trailing phantom 

Some withering wisp of smoke 

Slipping by 

And these are my words 

Flung through the sky 

Trailing red like a cape 

Longing to fly 

On this, their thirteenth try 

This prison of mine 

Is to carry alone 

The light of one red sun 

Beneath my skin 

And never, ever go home 

To watch the ravens fly 

So very far, far away 

Fortress of solitude 

I'll stay here, I'll make you all believe 

And if my words have forked no lightning 

Never shall I sleep again 

With sickening speed 

Red hearts on blue sleeves 

The bullets of your words 

could scarcely set their teeth into me 

Bu I am made frail 

In one single bound 

My traitorous soul 

Stings me so far down 

Without a sound 

To watch the ravens fly 

So very far, far away 

Never going to stop, not a break in my stride 

Never let this cancer eat from inside 

Raise the flag high with fists to the sky 

I'll finish this, or this is good-bye 

Spies, to the right set their claws to kill me 

Lies from the left clasp their jaws on the guilty 

I'll break free. I'll break free 

Just you watch me 

So discouraged,so dismayed 

See the poison, dripping from their blades 

There is lightning, left in these words 

I will still fly, rising with the birds 

I have carried the sun in my skin 

I cannot stop, I can not win 

Forked tongues, forcing me to kneel 

As if I was no man made of steel 

What if these weak words, that I have tripped on 

Sing that I am the last son of Krypton? 

I hate you all. I hate you all 

This will never sleep
