Speeding fast, I am the downhill king Destined to race to the end My engine’s screaming as I crash and burn Born to fail and never learn I’m for tumble, you’ve seen it before You chose to ignore it all I know what I want and you know I am bored CHORUS: Down from the mountain, down to the dark My dying soul rest from the heart My years of starlight, my days of rain I see them crashing 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 from to descend Down from the mountain, up near the top To see if you will still pretend Down from the mountain CHORUS: Down from the mountain, down to the dark My dying soul rest from the heart My years of starlight, my days of rain I see them crashing inside my brain Down from the mountain I’m coming fast across the open land I left my past In river dark I played the game And now I sing my last refrain Down from the mountain
