The Mountain Weeps

from The Return by Mongol

lyrics

High above the plains, stands a mountain tall; high above the plains, watching over us all

Roots of our forebearer buried deep in stone. Stained with the blood of sacrifice.

Our wars hold no meaning here on the cliffs of stone. May our ancestors hear our prayers
The mountain weeps…

The eminence of the mountain shines benevolence on her people. Yet, in the days of late the mountain weeps and the tears flow down the river
High above the plains, you will hear the wolf's call; high above the plains, watching over us all.

Our wars hold no meaning here on the cliffs of stone. May our ancestors hear our prayers
The mountain weeps…

Weeping is the mountain. The flames grows ever higher. I'll join you at the Onan 'neath the mountain's weary eye. Weeping is the mountain, it fills our hearts with fire. It bleeds into the Onan and reaches to the sky

Here lays the halls of long dead ancients, buried and forgotten in the hills 'neath the sky.
Long dead brothers of years long gone by. Their souls live on embodied by the mountain

Like the mighty blade of the Gods reaching on to the Welkin, and piercing our world as it guides our way to Heaven. Pilgrimage of kings, the mountains sing somber songs of conflicts long untold.

Beacon of hope, legend of old, cliffs of the Gods
Tales of our ancestors forever to be told.

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
