The Mountain Is Burning

(album: Sweet William e.p. - 2009)

The cause and effect
Never met, never met
The cause and effect
Never met

The end hasn't happened
My soul's in the blue
The end hasn't happened
As the mountain is burning

In the words of the dead
You were never among
There were times I was old
There were times you were young

"The gods are not kind"
Say a passionate few
There's a struggle at large
Some you win, some you lose

There's a fight in the air
Not what Kilmarnock's for
All your countrymen gone
Yet they open the door...

The cause and effect
Never met, never met
The cause and effect
Never met

The end hasn't happened
My soul's in the blue
The end hasn't happened
As the mountain is burning

In the careful rest
That brings solace to all
Where the whispers of fires
In the windows and walls

Through the windows and walls
Is the world you might need
And if creature you are
As it's man in the trees

In the trees of old love
In the leaves, I forget
Are your parents and children
The new to beget

The cause and effect
Never met, never met
The cause and effect
Never met

The end hasn't happened
My soul's in the blue
The end hasn't happened
As the mountain is burning

You're a break in the line
When humility's end
Is the best you can bring
To the table, my friend

You should know you'll be fixed
Like your word is as true
As the word in your heart
Is the one in the blue

Ever born in the mist
Ever dead in the sun
We'll be welcoming home
The prodigal ones

The cause and effect
They're the same, are the same
The cause and effect
They're the same

The end is illusion
My soul's in the air
The end is illusion
As the mountain is burning

In the words of the dead
The gods are not kind
There's a fight in the air
In the careful rest

Through the windows and walls
In the trees of old love
The break in the line
You know you'll be fixed

Ever born in the mist...
