The Mountain - P.F.M.

Red Bellows of flame have blackened my stones

Convulsing my frame and cracking my bones

Hell’s dragons of steel who roar in their chains

Crawl into my caves to suck out my veins

I’ve split the sky ten million years

And I’ve been called a hunderd different names

I know the stories of the wind

I’ve argued with the thunder and the rain …

Till eagles flew from Urizen

Revealing how my mother’s

Face was horribly changed

By the apes …

Where once shepherds dined the diamond

Worm screams

The ash of my pine is choking my strams

«O-Yam-Tsu-Mi"* I invoke your name

But «O-Yam-Tsu-Mi» lay broken and ill

By the plight and the pain of his mountains

And hills

By his waterfall weeps

Once again …
