Mountains Of Gold

(album: Everything Is Recorded By Richard Russell - 2018)

[Grace Jones (Lisa-Kaindé Diaz):]
It's much louder than before
Can you hear me?
(Who were we before?)
It's much louder than before
(When we lived 10 thousand lives?)
Can you hear me?
(I would like to know)
It's much louder than before
(All the secrets of our tribes)
Can you hear me?

[Sampha (Grace Jones):]
Mountains of gold (It's much louder than before)
Diamonds and pearls
Where will we go?
I guess it's all that we know (Can you hear me?)
Arrows and bows (It's much louder than before)
Gunshots in the snow
Where will we go?
I guess it's all that we know (Can you hear me?)

[Wiki (Grace Jones):]
Only thing we learned from history class...
Nah, we ain't learned from the past
(It's much louder than before)
Build it up, burn it down, leave it as ash
Build it up, burn it down, build it up, burn it down
Damn, man, it turns into a reason to laugh
(Can you hear me?)
Think about the cats leading the pack
At least half got
(It's much louder than before)
Clapped, scrapped, meeting they match
Slow down, no numbers, don't believe in the facts
That I spew when I'm reading these raps
(Can you hear me?)
All I know is what I see, I'm seeing bridges get burned
And then I see lessons get learned after that
(It's much louder than before)
On a smaller level out in Parkchester in the sick, just skip
Thinking last time I ditched my chick
(Can you hear me?)
Man, it really ain't shit as big as the bridge
(It's much louder than before)
But goddamn, man, this cycle is sick
Goddamn, man, this cycle is sick
Goddamn, man, this cycle is sick, ya heard?
(Can you hear me?)

[Lisa-Kaindé Diaz (Grace Jones):]
We'll spread the love that we all deserve
Chasing this global pain undisturbed
We'll have faith
(It's much louder than before)
What comes around, goes around someday
(Can you hear me?)

Mountains of gold (It's much louder than before)

Where will we go?
I guess it's all that we know (Can you hear me?)
Arrows and bows (It's much louder than before)
Gunshots in the snow
Where will we go?
I guess it's all that we know

[Grace Jones:]
It's much louder than before
Can you hear me?
It's much louder than before
Can you hear me?
It's much louder than before
Can you hear me?
