The Mountain

Lyrics for The Mountain

The crows were watchin' Takin' in the scene Blackened holes for eyes that tear the spirit to the spleen Oh he knew that all was lost as his limbs began to cave He reached a speed so quick just as his will, it all but gave Run, run, run now, as fast as you can The snow, it isn't kind to those who lay hope in this land Find My Sight Find my sight Closely follow a crooked path Interweaving until I collapse Trust my heart with a blinded lens In a twisted reflection of how it ends Your blood, fresh drawn intoxication Like wine from a fount for my desire You have never known this Barren land of bitter frost your Brittle throat at any cost is My reward after Years deprived on the Highest cliff face Spineless morsels lose the fight Fight Flight Fight Fight or flight You hear me Nowhere left for you to hide You coward I can smell your fear The ground below me is erupting like the home I left behind There is no spirit who could give me back the home that once was mine I tried to reach the sun But all I touched were your burning bones What I wouldn't give to just Survive Never has a place been so close and yet so far If you were here, maybe all would be still just for a moment You'd remind me of the gentle breeze in the trees that brought us here You would tell me to pick up my feet and Run
