MOUNT THE ELK (lyrics)

down from another time
took a while, but I scratched the surface
and what I found was unforgettable
an ancient crown peaking through the sand
but with it came a gateway to a place
for us unknown, turning time and space
and there I stood on the battlefield
a mist of grey on a field of blood

mount the elk and run
slave beneath the sun
the last to die has won
mount the elk

and as I stood and watched
the forest lines surrounding rival souls
something strange, a smell of angel-dust
the ancient scene became alive at once
the crown flew off to let the smoke reveal
an open field under a burning sun
I stood in line, ready to attack
mount the elks and prey they’ve got my back

mount the elk and run
slave beneath the sun
the last to die has won
mount the elk

songs for heroes
waiting to be sung

mount the elk and run
slave beneath the sun
the last to die has won
mount the elk and run
