Carry the mountains

Verse 1

Silver

Cold river stones

Biting at my bare heels

I run

I hide

I wait

Heavy iron hammers hitting

Heavy iron hammers ringing

Through the cedar grove

Shadows stretching like old fingers

Chorus

Carry the mountain

Carry the weight of the sky

Carry the mountain

Carry the weight of the sky

Until the ground gives way

Until the earth turns grey

Verse 2

Wolves

Howling at the low red moon

The wind is a blade

Cutting

Stinging

Cold

Frozen breath on the glass

Frozen breath on the grass

Broken

Stone by stone we build the wall

Stone by stone we watch it fall

Chorus

Carry the mountain

Carry the weight of the sky

Carry the mountain

Carry the weight of the sky

Until the ground gives way

Until the earth turns grey

Bridge

The fire is dead

The water is ice

The bread is dust

Nothing remains

Nothing returns

Nothing survives

Lift your head

Lift your heart

Lift your hands

Chorus

Carry the mountain

Carry the weight of the sky

Carry the mountain

Carry the weight of the sky

Until the ground gives way

Until the earth turns grey

Outro

Grey

It all turns grey

Gone to the dirt

Gone to the deep

The mountain stays

The mountain stays

Stays
