Mountainside |
Where come the prophets from the past you say |
Who saved the people kept oppressors at bay |
Stricking the wicked made them slither and hide |
From the mountainside |
He gathered the people both young and old |
Preaching the truth about the lies they told |
Curing the sick with only a touch of his hand |
All across the land |
Some people say |
You got to throw the past away |
Still I pray |
These lessons learned will not decay |
But soon the storm clouds began to reign |
Destiny pointing it’s finger with distain |
The shadows perched in trees like birds of prey |
To choke the light of day |
Some people say |
You got to throw the past away |
Still I pray |
These lessons learned will not decay |
They build their towers of lust and greed |
Raping our minds to plant their seed |
And from the ashes can’t you see |
The tattered wings of our reality |
The wolves dressed up to lead the meek like sheep |
Babbling promises they know they can’t keep |
Weaving their web of lies and utter deceit |
The huddled masses by their feet |
So where come the prophets from the past you say |
Who saved the people kept oppressors at bay |
And don’t you forget that man was crucified |
On the mountainside |
On the mountainside |
On the mountainside |
