Lyrics
[Instrumental Introduction - Picked Bass Chords]
[Verse - Solemn Reading on Pace]
In ancient tymes as stones did rise
Wayfarers walked 'neath endless skies
Hasty men with fleeting glee
Ne'r move'd mountains like the sea
[Verse 2]
As knights did quest for honor's gain
Oft did they meet with naught but pain
In throes of love and fleeting chance
Compared to stone their lives but dance
[Chorus]
A mountain's growth be slow as dust
Whilst men do haste with fervent gust
For time unto the rocks dost bow
Mountains stand where men know how
[Verse 3]
Ye timbered halls dost crumble'way
Whilst rising peaks forever stay
E'en generations can't outrun
The patient toil of earth and sun
[Bridge]
Mortal fears and fleeting dreams
Are washed in swift and rushing streams
Solid stones glow in twilight's hue
Eternal stands
That much is true
[Instrumental - rhythm rolls, technical picked bass octave jumps]
[Verse 4]
Hear ye tales of errant night
Mountains whisper timeless might
Men in toil
Hearts impossessed
In mountains' shadow
Findeth rest
[Climax - Full Power]
Men in toil
Hearts impossessed
In mountains' shadow
Findeth rest
[Instrumental - Short intense solo]
