Fortress

Every cry of every man
Every song and every eye
Every voice and every sigh
Runs in blood until you die
Every cry of every man
Every hour of our desire
Every voice and every sigh
Runs in blood until you die
In every cry of every man
In every infant's cry of fear
In every voice in every band
The mind forged manicles I hear.

London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London arrow of desire.

I wander through each chartered street
Where the chartered Thames does flow
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness marks of woe
Through the midnight streets I hear
How the youthful harlots curse
Blast the newborn infant's tear
And blight with plague the marriage hearse.

London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London arrow of desire.

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear old clouds unfold
Bring me my chariots of fire.

London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London until you die
London runs in blood
London in every cry
London runs in blood
London till you die
London until you die
London until you die
London until you die.
