	As He Climbed the Dark Mountain In Silence An Absurd And Unrealistic Dream Of Peace Appeared And Was Gone

As He Climbed the Dark Mountain
Watched him walk away (watched him walk away)
Climb the endless shadow side
Watched him holding on (watched him holding on) (watched him walk away)

It was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes
With no goodbye
Disappear from me (a thousand miles, a thousand dreams, a thousand minutes)
Hold on!
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain

Let the mountain sleep
In the past with all our bad dreams

Was it a metaphor for all the subtle ways we would grow apart?
Was it mortality?

Climbing and plunged right off of the edge of his life!
Into the hands of a loving God, oh reaching forward to get torn apart
With his hands in the air, was he laughing and dancing or only just trying to wave ‘Goodbye’!

Say a prayer for me (Hold on!)
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain
Let the mountain fall
Struck me down until I can’t go on

Let go! Let me fall down! onto! the ground

Don’t leave
Go on alone

It felt like a thousand years
It was a thousand miles away
It was a thousand miles away

An Absurd And Unrealistic Dream Of Peace
From the fields of the burning wheat
to the corners of the black arcades
we hold our hopes like cigarettes
then we leave them dying in the grass
the road is running out
we’ve seen it over our shoulder
With everything thing we (did??)
fields of flowers
(barbed wired??) towers
they’re in recession
with everything we (said??)
freedom faded
like voices ringing
I feel it drifting away
when you raise your head
and you fall down to your knees
while you wait for Him (/her???)
we’re running fast as we can
down the street with no end

last night I had a dream
we were floating in the sea
with flags all around
but now the colours have washed out
they were not innocent or free
and your bombers ride in the shotgun sky
they all turned into lights
spread like stars across the trembling black night
they’re calling you now
make a sign of the southern cross

and I will follow you (???)
tears of wonder
rolling thunder off in the distance
with everything we (did???)
freedom faded
like voices ringing
I feel it drifting away

while you raise your head
and you fall down to your knees
do you feel ashamed?
we’re running fast as we can
down the street with no end

take me home
keep running as fast as you can
because there’s no place to turn
on the street with no end
bombs blast and bells ringing
flags flying and we all keep on marching to heaven
find out we all fall down again.
