We built a fortress
With trust it lay erect
The love we shared
The foundation we chose
In time the house we built
Lay strong
Fortified
It withstood all forces
It stood strong
Against gale force winds
Which had lay claim
To many it came across
The rubble that lay bare
The evidence
These winds shown to the world
Of the power it proclaimed
The rubble which shown
The souls which its power claimed
But we stood proud like a peacock
We boasted to the world
That our beauty was unrivaled
That what we had built
Stood strong against all elements
In time envy would build
Build in those whose eyes
Found us in their sights
In time the winds lay weary
Puffing from exhaustion
Crying out loud
That with time our foundation would crack
That the walls in trust we had built
Shall wither
That the power of forces unknown
Will seep in and lay claim to us
Another victim they shall conquer
Showing their power
To the world once more
Our hearts rejoiced at this
Knowing that we would
Withstand the test of time
Little did I know
In your road a folk shall appear
Which shall our foundation crack
That you would choose to align yourself
With forces that would our house break
Now we lay with cracks showing
The forces which sought to break us rejoicing
How did you such a blunder make
