Attakulla Songtext
von Dim Gray

Hill and hollow
Sparrow and swallow
Blackberry, redwood
Pass and peak
Bank and bower
Snowfall and shower
River and ridgeway
Mighty, meek

Oh, Black Dome, what have I done?
Bound here to roam upon your stone
Show me where to go

Hill and hollow
Sparrow and swallow
Blackberry, redwood
Pass and peak
Bank and bower
Snowfall and shower
River and ridgeway
Mighty, meek


Oh, Black Dome, what have I done?
Bound here to roam upon your stone
Show me where to go

After dreams of hills and storm clouds
I have come to
In the shade of your throne
And I shall know each crevice
Each stone

At the highest height
There′s a shining light
Hidden from unseeing eyes
Flicker under dark blue skies
At the proudest peak
Show me what I seek
Visions that will shepherd me
When I reach the apex I will see

Planning now for my ascent
See the mountain as it stands
Rising up from Earth's bowels
Unmoving in its vigilance
It′s an island
I'm the sea


Beneath the shadow of your walls
I slip and slide in search of hold
In time I'll find the best face to climb
Around the mountainside I go
With no regard for what′s below
In time I′ll see what you have in store for me

Scarlet sunlight fading away
Past rolling hills as colours decay
Moonlit midnight breaks into dawn
Time marches on as I waver
I won't take you head on
Until I′ve seen each crevice
Each stone

Tunnel vision fades away
I'm emerging from the mist
Passing footprints and murals
A winding path that pulls me in
Now I know what I′ve become
Tracing a circle
I will rise, I will fade
Like a wave that breaks
On stone
