Terrible Fortress

O Wicked Building Made of brick A Mighty Fortress is your prison And who could say What has occurred? What is this sickness that you have cured? And the neighbor kids Riding by Starting rumors about what's inside Oh, but it's worse It's so much worse Than you could imagine Innocent child Battered and bruised Shivering lonesome in the upper rooms And your older brother On that day I couldn't speak of it, no I could not say Terrible Fortress You stand so tall Your presence is known, now in every town And with trumpets bleating I am not alone The day is nearing now that you're overthrown No you may not Enslave our children Anymore
