lyrics

Up here on the mountain, we’ll sing our song

Transfigurations under pale moonlight
About the rays of a new day sweeping
I saw the red lights flashing in the rain.
Out here in the periphery of the night
The battle wages all around me
There’s a premonition we all have to face.
Lay down your arms, it’s all over now.

The sky was red as the devil’s eyes
Maids of sorrow danced above the flames
The choice is really not ours to make.
We walk arm in arm in symmetry through this life
Past the wounds and the shackles of a careless past
We shall pay all our debts here today.
Lay down your arms it’s all over now.
I’ll carry you home.

Up here on the mountain, we’ll sing our song

Are we all but lambs in the King’s eyes?
Led astray by a desert mirage?
No, I never once trembled at the blade.
I’ll find my redemption out there on the dark, lonesome path
Where the pale horse rides
Shed all my guilt for a world gone mad.
How I wanted to be just like you Pa
A prophet spawned from virtues womb
But I know I lost you way back then.
Transfigurations under pale moonlight
There’s a price we all have to pay.

Up here on the mountain, we’ll sing our song
