Wildfire, Pt. II - One with the Mountain
Years have passed since the family
Was driven out of the village by force
The people had won, but as some of the old folks knew
This victory was not final
The unrest would not end but only cease for a while
As it had always done since the beginning of times
Hence, they taught their offspring to love and hate
Respect and fear, thinking it would be the best way to avoid the inevitable
The last page of the book read:
"Children
Despite our best efforts, we have grown weak!
One day when you least expect it, during a party or harvest festival
A man, not quite a man, yet not quite a beast will walk up the road
And join with his family, the nature
Unless humanity has found harmony before that...
...you all will perish."
"Hello!"
So here I walk up the road back home
This place is me: my skin, blood and bones
You'd have to remember in order to fear me:
"Your past will now burn down your town"
There is a mountain in the horizon
Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising
I am the flint and the kindler they need
This is where we used to live
You were scared
"You all were!"
You cast me out!
All for one, family!
You draw my blood
They will burn down your town!
There is a mountain in the horizon
Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising
Strong is the fear and the anger it breeds
I can take all the blame
For the sake of my name
Our blood on your hands
Running hot in my veins
They say:
"Do yourself well and stay away from your family!"
Build a wall on the hill
And write a book out of fear
Then aim a gun at your son
To keep him safe from us
You're not foolish
You're insane
They would die for me, twice
Build a wall on the hill
Write a book out of fear
You are out of your minds
Blind and your love's the killing kind
Children play!
Your riddles and games are hurtful
This pains me to know
They will teach them to fear
But if anything, they teach them to hate
The bells of my fate play my songs
But I don't want to dance anymore!
But I don't want to dance anymore
Cause I don´t want to dance with fire!
Love is the infinite power
You're gonna sing when the mountain tells you
Now you'll sing, you'll bow, as we dance around you
In a dream, you believe, you have seen our soul
You have seen our heart
You have seen through the wall
You have seen what we are
But what have you learned?
I can take all the blame
For the sake of my name
Our blood on your hands
Running hot in my veins
They say:
"Do yourself well and stay away from your family!"
Build a wall on the hill
And write a book out of fear
Then aim a gun at your son
To keep him safe from us
You're not foolish
You're insane
They will love me till death!
Build a wall on the hill
And write a book out of fear
Then aim a gun at your son
Make them all read it!
You are out of your minds
Your love is the killing kind
Write a book about us, family infamous
Memorize every leaf, every word, every phrase
See your name on the last page, consumed by fire
The bells of my fate play my songs
But I don't want to dance anymore!
But I don't want to dance anymore
Cause I don´t want to dance with fire!
Don't want to dance!
The innocence slain, the price you have paid
So tonight, if you teach your own children to hate
Remember to tell of both Heaven and Hell
Never open those gates for the weak
Because we're up on the mountain
We are one with the mountain
Cause we are the mountain
One with the Mountain
Wildfire Mountain!
