Duration: P00H02M50S
Description: Everyone has their castle, and must protect it. Everyone has weaknesses to conceal. Most of the time you can be welcoming and put yourself out there, warts and all. But sometimes you have to hunker down, close the windows and doors, and wait out a threat. Or blow it up.

Everyone has their castle, and must protect it. Everyone has weaknesses to conceal. Most of the time you can be welcoming and put yourself out there, warts and all. But sometimes you have to hunker down, close the windows and doors, and wait out a threat. Or blow it up.

lyrics

IF YOU COME WITHIN A CANNON SHOT OF MY CASTLE
IF YOU COME WITHIN A CANNON SHOT OF MY CASTLE
I'LL DRAW UP THE BRIDGE
I'LL DRAW UP THE BRIDGE

YOU KNOW I'VE GOT THIS MIGHTY SHIELD TO HIDE BEHIND
YOU KNOW I'VE GOT THIS MIGHTY SHIELD TO HIDE BEHIND
AND ARMIES STAND IN LINE
AND ARMIES STAND IN LINE

TO PROTECT THE CHINKS IN MY ARMOR
TO PROTECT THE CHINKS IN MY ARMOR

IF YOU COME WITHIN A CANNON SHOT OF MY CASTLE...
IF YOU COME WITHIN A CANNON SHOT OF MY CASTLE...
