Loves a fortress built brick by brick

Yet willingly we forfeit freedom quick

Whos trading passion for the subtle scheme

What feels like life is just a lingering dream

We chase forever but miss the truth

The simplest love is the strongest proof

Chains disguised as golden threads

Binding hearts where hope once led

The walled heart a castle of sand

Whos the captive who rules this land

Without a flame to warm the soul

Why sing of love that takes its toll
