lyrics

Plagued by insecurities
Surrounded by the doubt
Nothing existed yet, the clock goes BOOM
It just can’t keep, going on and on
So I climb the mountain, to find the myth

19 hours on a crystal ball
Through torchlight and forest
The shadows seemed to cry
Was it the evening air, the fog rolled in
It covered the depths, left the high shallow
Part of a process, reveal the result

Branded by a new taboo
Baptized into shame
I held a vision that, remains in vain
So I keep on seeking the mountain’s myth
Proceed to fall apart, part of a fall

(Instrumental)

I took a bite and with all of my strength
I was fighting for life then I sang
Take me away

Searching for something, forgetting the cause
It was over before it began
Keep pushing uphill, drive the grave

Eyes on horizon the ball then appears
An old masquerade, a facade on parade
Drift a day

Dancing on lies full of death in disguise
I'm fooled by the one I despise
Break the cage, tear the body

Raising a chair, now all full of despair
I prepare for the landing and pray
Let there be light, let me stay!

Everything shatters to pieces at once
as the colors all fade to erase

At the top, there was nothing
Nothing but lies, and promises empty
At the top, Just another beginning
Another mountain, Another myth
No openings or doors
No portal or way of escape
Free of thought
Neither free to return or to stay
