To see what I could see
To see what I could be
On the shining mountain
I watched the day go down in fire
And sink in the valley
And sink into the sea
Drown in golden fire
Fireflies danced in the forest night
The trees began to sing
The crags began to sing
Above the black forest
I went up on the mountain side
To know what I did know
To know whence I did know
On the crowning mountain
I went up on the mountain side To see what I could see To see what I could be On the shining mountain I watched the day go down in fire And sink in the valley And sink into the sea Drown in golden fire Fireflies danced in the forest night The trees began to sing The crags began to sing Above the black forest I went up on the mountain side To know what I did know To know whence I did know On the crowning mountain Explain Request ×
