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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When that black sensation creeps across my weary head I can feel my body sink into my worlds end I try to pick myself up - but I'm sinking further in When that black dog finds me - I'm feeling lost - I'm caged in Don't cry - it thrives - feeding off your woes I try - to fight - but that black dog grows I'm alone - lost in time Human drone - lost in line I tell myself - I ain't got the skills To help myself - I keep taking them happy pills As the light starts dipping in the skyline of my mind I can't feel I'm tripping down that hole another time I try to pick myself up - I keep on clawing at the walls Then that black dog finds me - shows his teeth and takes hold Don't cry - it thrives - feeding off your woes I try - to fight - but that black dog grows I'm alone - lost in time Human drone - lost in line I tell myself - I ain't got the skills To help myself - I keep taking them happy pills You're all alone - just skin and bone Your minds disintegrating Help your-fucking-self Coz no-one else will - you're all alone When the black dog bites in the dead of night You'll fall down to your knees He'll feed on your soul as your weakness grows All consumed by your disease
