the mountain

about

If you had ten thousand men, you'd climb no quicker, but you'd have company I suppose. No-one is gonna carry you home.

lyrics

In days gone by they used to cry about the devil in the mountain
Time went by and we came by
And we climbed right up the mountain

Do you know what we found there
Hidden away from everyone?

I crossed the sea, just little old me
On a fountain made of fire
They said to me, you’re way up high
But the mountain still was higher
There is no air to breathe on Titan or Mars
On Venus there is no love
Just cold and empty unforgiving stars

We’re all climbing the mountain

In future days they will erase all traces of the mountain
They’ll stand and stare, the great nowhere
And the devil will still be counting
Do you know what he’ll find there underneath it all?
Do you know what he’ll find there
Behind the broken unforgiving walls?

We’re all climbing the mountain
We’re all climbing the mountain
We’re all climbing the mountain
We’re all climbing the mountain
