LATA MANGESHKAR, MAHAR - Pyar Karnewale Kabhi Darte Nahi lyrics

[Inspired by the tale "The Fortress Unvanquishable Save For Sacnoth" by Lord Dunsany]

Night is the enemy men falsely perceive

Chasing pale spectres through a world within dreams

Fear is the catalyst to warp frail minds

At twilight's stroke phantoms besiege

Waking dreamers fall to an abyss of stars

Marching through the darkness where heroes always die

Comets blaze the way to nightmare's return

On feverish wings the creatures they fly

Fortress of dreams invincible you are

Fortress Unvanquishable - free my mind

Fortress Unvanquishable - let me dream

When darkness falls our faith dispells

Strength will break through castle walls

Illusions of peace are dwelling behind

Conquer savagery; time enacts its toll

Mundane is the curse others fail to see

Empty is the sky for those who cannot dream

Fortress Unvanquishable - free my mind

Fortress Unvanquishable - let me dream

Facing immortals shadows

Seeking the fortress tall

Escape the stark reality

Eternal, your quest of dreams

[Lead: Perry]

Men spin their tales of ages past

Leaves turning to ash, old legends die

Fear is the catalyst to warp frail minds

In lands beyond sleep, fleeing lost truths

Comets blaze the way to nightmare's return

Fortress of dreams invincible you are

Fortress Unvanquishable - free my mind

Fortress Unvanquishable - let me dream
