close to the citadel, she raises her latern 
close to the citadel, she raises her laquered hooves 
the long road division, for lack of another route 
and these then were all too good advantage lost 
and i grow suspect as soon as your friendliness rises 
but not a second chance 
close to the citadel will hasten to affirm 
for this congress we have ridden doubly against 
and we'll grow suspect 
as soon as their friendliness rises 
and i alone stand a chance but not a second chance
