Mountain
The mountain rose from bonds of earth and showed that all could rise
Some men learned, while others saw with only hungry eyes
And as the prize they conquered like a bride without her gown
One by one they mined its bones
And dragged the mountain down
They built a grand cathedral in the image of the mount
But grace was lost on hungry men who fear to be without
And as the bombs fell from the air and shattered in the town
One by one they broke its bones
And dragged the mountain down
And so I see the mountain in this wall of weathered stone
I read the names of hungry men who lie in fields unsown
"Rise up!" had been the lesson, but we put them in the ground
One by one we laid their bones
And dragged the mountain down.
One by one we laid their bones
And dragged the mountain down.
Some men learned, while others saw with only hungry eyes
And as the prize they conquered like a bride without her gown
One by one they mined its bones
And dragged the mountain down
They built a grand cathedral in the image of the mount
But grace was lost on hungry men who fear to be without
And as the bombs fell from the air and shattered in the town
One by one they broke its bones
And dragged the mountain down
And so I see the mountain in this wall of weathered stone
I read the names of hungry men who lie in fields unsown
"Rise up!" had been the lesson, but we put them in the ground
One by one we laid their bones
And dragged the mountain down.
One by one we laid their bones
And dragged the mountain down.
