[Verse 1] Boards on the windows Mud on the door We learned the hard way What we're building for Hands in the mortar Stones in the rain You don't get shelter If you skip the strain [Pre-Chorus] Count every beam Check every nail If the wind comes fast We will not fail [Chorus] Fortify the base Fortify the base Hold this line tonight (hold this line tonight) Fortify the base Fortify the base Nothing shakes this house (nothing shakes this house) [Verse 2] Boots by the threshold Lanterns low Names on the ledger Row by row We fixed the weak spots We faced the cold Built from the broken And made it gold [Pre-Chorus] Count every beam Check every nail If the wind comes fast We will not fail [Chorus] Fortify the base Fortify the base Hold this line tonight (hold this line tonight) Fortify the base Fortify the base Nothing shakes this house (nothing shakes this house) [Bridge] If the ground moves We move together If the sky breaks We stand through weather No turning back No leaving now We lock the gates And lock them down [Final Chorus] Fortify the base Fortify the base Hold this line tonight (hold this line tonight) Fortify the base Fortify the base Nothing shakes this house (nothing shakes this house) Fortify the base Fortify the base We were built to last (we were built to last)
