The Mountain is Burning

Lyrics

[Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 spared in the trees In the trees of old love In the leaves, I forget Are your parents and children The new to beget [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] 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 All the prodigal ones [Chorus 2] The cause and effect are the same, are the same The cause and effect are the same The end is illusion, my soul's in the air The end is illusion as the mountain is burning [Verse 4] In the words of the dead The gods are not kind There's a fight in the air In the careful breast Through the windows and walls In the trees of old love You're a break in the line You should know you'll be fixed Ever born in the mist
