Andrew Rhodes - Man of the Mountain Lyrics

On top of a mountain a wise man weeps aloud
Sees the world before him through a darkened cloud
Old as the wasting land on which we tread
Heavy are the thoughts that pound within his head
Oh man of the mountain, are you unable to change the way we are
Are we too far gone, have we gone too far
Across the face of a sound and tender Earth
Swords of vengeance fester, with each new birth
Peace for some it seems comes when all men are dead
Don't look now the river's turning red
Oh man of the mountain, are you unable to change the way we are
Are we too far gone, have we gone too far
Where is the respect in every bomb and bullet
Where men whose fingertips are knives
They're here to stay, nobody can change it
Carelessly they're taking innocent lives
Oh man of the mountain, do you feel guilty to change the way we are
Are we too far gone, have we gone too far
North the horizon is lined with faceless men
South they move so quickly, they appear again
Can you save us from ourselves, from what we have become
We are weary weak and lonely, can the damage be undone
Oh man of the mountain, do you feel guilty to change the way we are
Are we too far gone, have we gone too far
Dip our souls into the open sea
Cast aside the memories, don't set the wicked free
Remove all trace no future thought can find
Create a new world for your love of all mankind
Oh man of the mountain, are you unable to change the way we are
Are we too far gone, have we gone too far
Oh man of the mountain, do you feel guilty to change the way we are
Are we too far gone, have we gone too far
