lyrics

Bastion, guard my hearth and key
Fix the lock to distant memory
Set the watch in groups of two and three
Prime the fire, drum the armoury

I can't say when we'll return
Trust no oracle to learn
Keep all secrets close to burn
If all and all, we befall, a different turn

Bastion, stock your piles for war
Make heaven quake when cannon roar
Press no simple man to do the deed
A Juggernaut or Golem for a steed

I can't say when we'll return
Trust no oracle to learn
Keep all secrets close to burn
If all and all, we befall, a different turn

Bastion, come and let me in
Try to hear me past the awful din
I built you up to high for hands to hold
And now come crashing down to end me cold

I can't say when we'll return
Trust no oracle to learn
Keep all secrets close to burn
If all and all, we befall, a different turn
