Mountains Of
Madness
I see mountains to the north
Beneath its neighboring star
In the light of the full moon
Jagged fingers reach for her
As if to navigate the chaos
On a stage of madness
I see laughter turn sad
And honor take a sidestep
One betrays the whole
With lies on the doorstep
As common sense
Is lost to foolishness
I see mountains move
While others stand still
Foundations bear its weight
As others slide downhill
I see mountains of ice
And hearts frozen twice
I see mountains scarred
By the storms of time
Erupting with angry faces
From the denial of crime
As common consequence
Is replaced by tolerance
I see mountains of apathy
And diamonds in little hands
As they cling to innocence
While angels turn to demons
I see mountains of hate
As we fall to our fate
I see mountains to the south
Blinded by a deceitful mist
In every possible direction
Among towers to the east
And giants to the west
Until the imminent fire
Higher and higher
Beneath its neighboring star
In the light of the full moon
Jagged fingers reach for her
As if to navigate the chaos
On a stage of madness

Erupting with angry faces
