i took my fire upon a mountain
to mock all truth that flatters men
and i damned all hope
that tomorrow shows
for i cursed all life there is
as screaming ghosts
no heaven knows
and i want to be high as the suns that shine
all the time
i took my fire upon a mountain
to sift through thoughts of all beasts and men
and i purged the gold thru which the world shall end
for i courted the dragon
yeah that old serpent
and i got to be high as the suns that shine
all the time
and all of thee
