Lost Mountain Songtext
von Tom West

You came in from the distance
Dressed with clothes of skin and hide
You seemed an ancient knowledge
Your books they kept inside

We fought a thousand times
And I′d like to think I won
But they arguably were stalemates
Defeats are one on one

Thinking about it now
I was someone else before
A ruler of a kingdom
With nothing at the core

Lived in empty chambers
Knocking down the city doors
I'd love to know where you ended up
And what it′s like wherever that you are


There's one thing I regret
It was stealing all those cedars
Removing Humbaba's head
But it was fun

Running the roads reckless, abandoned
Fighting with the sun
Taking back the trophies
To the cities that were ours

And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there′s a tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world

And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there′s a tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world

I'll swap all of my clothes
For some old and tattered robes
I′ll pack a couple of favourites
Some classics for the road


I'll tie off all my loose ends
Don′t know when I'm coming back
I′ll dig out all your old books
And I'll read 'em like a map

And when the map ends
In empty pages
I′ll write what I can see
And a new road
Into the unknown
Will unfurl in front of me

And when the map ends
In empty pages
I′ll write what I can see
And a new road
Into the unknown
Will unfurl in front of me

And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there's a tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world

And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there′s a tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
