Down from the Mountain

Speeding fast, I am the downhill king

Destined to race to the end

My engine's screamin' as I crash and burn

Born to fail and never learn

I won't tumble, you've seen it before

You chose to ignore it all

I know what I want

And you know that I'm bored

Down from the mountain, down to the dark

My dyin' soul, rise from the heart

My years of starlight, my days of rain

I see you flashin' inside my brain

Down from the mountain

Bone-crushing words, you will mark my return

Licking my wounds in the wind

Dragging my questions to nevermore, somewhere in time

Down from the mountain, up near the top

Over again, come to descend

Down from the mountain, up near the top

To see if you will still pretend

Down from the mountain

Down from the mountain, down to the dark

My dying soul, rise from the heart

My years of starlight, my days of rain

I see you flashin' inside my brain

Down from the mountain, I'm coming fast

Across the open land, I left my past

And in the dark, I played the game

And now I sing my last refrain

Down from the mountain

Oh, you will fall

Down, down from the mountain
