Under the ruins of a walled city Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light. No flags of truce, no cries of pity; The siege guns had been pounding through the night.

@ johnmcpherso n 3 , the word's actually 'lain' rather than 'laid'. Primo reason I like the song. Few people other than Sting use the word lain, the past participle of 'lie', i.e lie, laid, had lain.
Favorite song by Sting post Police- hands down- tremendous imagery used in the lyrics- Then let me build a bridge for I cannot fill the chasm, and let me set the battlements on fire , nuff said.
So many relationships are destroyed by walls and mines. He is an amazing lyricist, among his many many talents.

"Had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I'd laid..." is my favorite lyric from this song. Can this guy write or what? No surprise that Gordon Sumner taught English. Wish my English teachers were this cool.
An epic ode to troubled love. This song helped make it clear that Sting still had some great songs left in him after the Police era had come to an end...
