Beyond the Mountain

Over the mountain we climb
Into the valley of the sublime
We've been held down for so long
We've lost the pride that we felt too strong

Our black-eyed savior grows his flowers in the dirt
Come to me, angel, let me wash away the hurt

We've let go of something we held too strong
But it doesn't matter now that it's gone
Because it takes all we give
It took all we had
And it's better off left now, deep in the past

Sickened by the sight
Never had the right
Strangled by your laws
Crawling up the walls
We'll stay, just the same

Over the mountain we climb
Into the valley of the sublime
We've been held down for so long
We've lost the pride that we felt too strong

Wade in the water where the infant first breathed life
Come to us, angel, save our people from the strife

I've latched onto something I've missed for far too long
And it doesn't matter, I know that it's wrong
It unites us as one, like father and son
And the circle is broken...
The damage is done

So we'll fade into the same
