Under the Mountain
Your breath is held in hope of monsters breaching from the deep<br/> You hide underneath your mighty sail<br/> You ride the waves in search of mysteries lurking in the sea<br/> All through your endeavors you curse yourself<br/> <br/> Strike a blow - hear them cry - see the whites of their eyes rolling round<br/> Grab your oars - scream and roar and see him soar<br/> As he plunges into the dark and deep beneath the waves<br/> <br/> Beneath the waves<br/> <br/> His flesh is torn and scarred where hunters clawed and left their mark<br/> He's a ruler of the seas you sail<br/> His eyes hold endless fires of secrets old and blood red skies<br/> A king of the deep - he'll rule - he'll rise<br/> <br/> Strike a blow - hear them cry - see the whites of their eyes rolling round<br/> Grab your oars - scream and roar and see him soar<br/> As he plunges into the dark and deep beneath the waves<br/> <br/> The sun is high - your blow draws blood<br/> You hear him cry - you're hypnotized<br/> Your body breaks - as you capsize<br/> The devil breaches<br/> <br/> Strike a blow - hear them cry - see the whites of their eyes rolling round<br/> Grab your oars - scream and roar and see him soar<br/> As he plunges into the dark and deep beneath the waves<br/> <br/> Beneath the waves<br/> Beneath the waves

Sweetest dream - a virgin queen<br/> An innocent born and betrothed<br/> Just ripe for picking from the tree of life on Earth<br/> Born of this world - a shining light<br/> A vessel for the darkness torn from time and space tonight<br/> <br/> Oh my lord - everlasting light<br/> Take this heart - carnal sacrifice<br/> <br/> You sold her soul - for blackest gold<br/> And everlasting life - your conscience breaks before<br/> it folds. Pray to your god - what does he say?<br/> Nothing - coz you're no-one - there's no turning back today<br/> <br/> Oh my lord - everlasting light<br/> Take this heart - carnal sacrifice<br/> What have I done - I'll pay the price<br/> The light has left me - carnal sacrifice<br/> <br/> Embrace the dark - you fall from grace<br/> Into the pit<br/> You're gods disgrace - your're gonna follow the revolution<br/> <br/> Pray to your god - what does he say?<br/> Nothing - coz you're no-one - there's no turning back today<br/> <br/> Oh my lord - everlasting light<br/> Take this heart - carnal sacrifice<br/> What have I done - I'll pay the price<br/> The light has left me - carnal sacrifice<br/> <br/> I suffer - in pain - so sweet

Long ago<br/> <br/> She drifted through eternity, spanning time and space alone<br/> The world was young, when she birthed a race<br/> They clawed and tore away her heart and faith<br/> <br/> Her voice entombed<br/> <br/> Oh in the vacuum of her mind, ever-longing to be heard<br/> As she grows old, her beauty fades<br/> She loses all her faith in time and space<br/> <br/> Solitary - solitary woman<br/> <br/> As i drfit on through the void, oh will you catch me when I fall<br/> My voice has been destroyed, oh no-one hears me when I call<br/> Solitary life makes for solitary soul<br/> As I drift on through the void, oh will you catch me when I fall<br/> <br/> Solitary. Solitary

Under earth and stone we await the dawn<br/> Another night has passed - the hours are long<br/> Crawling on our knees - growing dark unease<br/> We seek the night<br/> Wading through the worms - the mountain twists and turns<br/> Her hold is tight<br/> <br/> Under the mountain - that's where we'll be<br/> An ancient kingdom - a sight to see<br/> <br/> Through the aeons vast we've lain in the dark<br/> Waited from our thrones for the vital spark<br/> Our fire has grown in size - rekindled appetites<br/> A craving thirst<br/> Digging through the dirt - flesh and bone and hurt<br/> We've come so far<br/> <br/> Under the mountain - that's where we'll be<br/> An ancient kingdom - a sight to see<br/> Our walls will echo with endless cries<br/> We'll dig our way out - and we shall rise<br/> <br/> Watching every move you make<br/> Eyes of the serpent king - slumbering - now wakes<br/> Storm rages - eruption - sublime<br/> Bow down before your mountain kingdom<br/> <br/> Under the mountain - that's where we'll be<br/> An ancient kingdom - a sight to see<br/> Our walls will echo with endless cries<br/> We'll dig our way out - and we shall rise

An imitation of life approximating the norm<br/> But on the edge of the knife - in the eye of the storm<br/> My eyes are blinded by life my mouth is burned of the taste<br/> My mind is empty of thought, my mind it's laid to waste<br/> It's gone, it's laid to waste<br/> <br/> Nothing is the way that I thought it would be<br/> I feel I am approaching the end<br/> <br/> I touched the void I displaced, sent ripples riding through space<br/> Engulfed in all that I was, I long to be with the stars<br/> Transcend the world of the sun - my thoughts all fade into one<br/> Escape a world full of hate, my body suffocates<br/> I can't breathe, I suffocate<br/> <br/> Nothing is the way I thought it would be<br/> I feel I am approaching the end<br/> Exist beyond your mind and you'll set yourself free<br/> I feel I am approaching the end<br/> <br/> Nothing is the way I thought it would be<br/> I feel I am approaching the end<br/> Exist beyond your mind and you'll set yourself free<br/> I feel I am approaching the end<br/> <br/> When all is said and done, one life of hit and run<br/> As we transcend that final bend, as we approach the bitter end<br/> It's fate, it's fate, it's fate

As the cold wind blows on through my veins<br/> I can feel my lonely heart turn to ice<br/> Living in the shadow of the mountain face<br/> Overlooked on by her steely eyes<br/> <br/> Long shadows dance before the setting sun<br/> With the mountain we become as one<br/> <br/> She's ancient - she's old<br/> I surrender my soul<br/> <br/> The mountains seen no more than a soulless thing<br/> But her ancient roots grow deep and long<br/> Amid the lordless sky she's thundering<br/> Crying out in the night to belong<br/> <br/> Long shadows dance before the setting sun<br/> With the mountain we become as one<br/> Elevate to touch the farthest skies<br/> As she punctures the night, the old ones collide<br/> <br/> Long shadows dance before the setting sun<br/> With the mountain we become as one<br/> Elevate to touch the farthest skies<br/> As she punctures the night, the old ones collide

Stare through the eyes of man - scanning over all of his land<br/> He wants more, he takes two score - always counting every grain of sand<br/> Sick with greed - got all that he needs, it's eating at his rotten soul<br/> Never gets his fill of life - like trying to fill an endless hole<br/> <br/> And his greed will render him blind<br/> He's consuming without conscience until everything dies - never satisfied<br/> <br/> Crowned man he reaps the land - he's bleeding Mother Nature dry<br/> He sits alone upon his thrown - statue like in all but his eyes<br/> Sick with power he seeks and devours everything that gets in his path<br/> Accursed fate - eternal hate to everyone who suffers his wrath<br/> <br/> And his greed will render him blind<br/> He's consuming without conscience until everything dies - never satisfied<br/> Never Satisfied<br/> <br/> A want that needs and grows<br/> A parasite in the heart of man<br/> Feeding at his soul - sucking dry all it can<br/> A want that needs and grows<br/> A parasite in the heart of man<br/> Feeding at his soul<br/> <br/> And his greed will render him blind<br/> He's consuming without conscience until everything dies<br/> Never satisfied<br/> <br/> Lost to the fall of time - never satisfied<br/> Your appetites are blind<br/> For the want of all and all you find

You slither - you slide - digging in<br/> Your taking a hold of my life<br/> <br/> Shadows - demons - partaking in the breaking of the human<br/> mind<br/> <br/> Haunted cries - fading eyes - feel the pain<br/> Your taking a hold of my life<br/> <br/> I know my time has come - ravaged with fear I try to run<br/> You hunt - you find - you kill<br/> You long for lust - an endless thrill<br/> <br/> When we're alone the world stops turning<br/> We set it alight - chaos burning<br/> Devour all that comes between us<br/> <br/> With the sun in your eyes.<br/> And the world at your feet<br/> We sacrifice to the night...<br/> <br/> Set yourself free
