Fortress Heart

[Verse] In the harbor of Cape Breton, where the waters meet the sky, There stood a mighty fortress, tall and proud and high. Louisbourg, a spearhead, of the French domain, But the drums of war were sounding, calling out its name . [Break] [Pre-Chorus] Now ships come sailing, their banners in the breeze, To take the gates and bring the fortress to its knees! [Chorus] Oh, the guns are roaring, hear the cannons cry, The winds of fate are howling, as the towers start to die. The fort is holding steady, but the siege is drawing near, In this campaign, they’ll fight to the end, won't yield to their fear. [Verse] Through the fog and through the fire, through the storm and through the night, The Boston boys laid their lines, prepared to take the fight. With walls now cracked and crumbling, the militia grows fatigued, But the spirit of the fortress still refuses to be sieged. . [Pre-Chorus] From the ramparts to the trenches, in the shadows of the stone, The clash of steel is echoing, as men stand all alone. [Chorus] Oh, the guns are roaring, hear the cannons cry, The winds of fate are howling, as the towers start to die. The fort is holding steady, but the siege is drawing near, In this campaign, they’ll fight to the end, won't yield to their fear. [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] For fifty days of struggle, for fifty nights of rain, In the fortress heart, they fought through all the pain. But when the flag was lowered, and the cannon’s fire ceased, The titan fell, the victors called, and celebrate their feat. . [Rising Chorus] Oh, the guns are silent, the cannons rolling by, The winds of fate are howling, as the towers lay to die. The fort holds out no longer, and the siege's end is here, In this campaign, fought to the end, the fortress heart speared . Now the harbor’s quiet, and the fortress stands no more, But the echoes of the battle will live forevermore. The Siege of [Rhythmic Chorus] Oh, the harbor now lay quiet, the fortress stands no more, But the echoes of the battle will sound forevermore Peace returned the city, then history was made, A forsaken tale of valor, in the cold Atlantic shade!
