Lyrics

Years have passed since the family Was driven out of the village by force The people had won, but as some of the old folks knew This victory was not final The unrest would not end but only cease for a while As it had always done since the beginning of times Hence, they taught their offspring to love and hate Respect and fear, thinking it would be the best way to avoid the inevitable The last page of the book read: "Children Despite our best efforts, we have grown weak! One day when you least expect it, during a party or harvest festival A man, not quite a man, yet not quite a beast will walk up the road And join with his family, the nature Unless humanity has found harmony before that... ...you all will perish." "Hello!" So here I walk up the road back home This place is me: my skin, blood and bones You'd have to remember in order to fear me: "Your past will now burn down your town" There is a mountain in the horizon Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising I am the flint and the kindler they need This is where we used to live You were scared "You all were!" You cast me out! All for one, family! You draw my blood They will burn down your town! There is a mountain in the horizon Rebuilding the fire, the flames are arising Strong is the fear and the anger it breeds I can take all the blame For the sake of my name Our blood on your hands Running hot in my veins They say: "Do yourself well and stay away from your family!" Build a wall on the hill And write a book out of fear Then aim a gun at your son To keep him safe from us You're not foolish You're insane They would die for me, twice Build a wall on the hill Write a book out of fear You are out of your minds Blind and your love's the killing kind Children play! Your riddles and games are hurtful This pains me to know They will teach them to fear But if anything, they teach them to hate The bells of my fate play my songs But I don't want to dance anymore! But I don't want to dance anymore Cause I don´t want to dance with fire! Love is the infinite power You're gonna sing when the mountain tells you Now you'll sing, you'll bow, as we dance around you In a dream, you believe, you have seen our soul You have seen our heart You have seen through the wall You have seen what we are But what have you learned? I can take all the blame For the sake of my name Our blood on your hands Running hot in my veins They say: "Do yourself well and stay away from your family!" Build a wall on the hill And write a book out of fear Then aim a gun at your son To keep him safe from us You're not foolish You're insane They will love me till death! Build a wall on the hill And write a book out of fear Then aim a gun at your son Make them all read it! You are out of your minds Your love is the killing kind Write a book about us, family infamous Memorize every leaf, every word, every phrase See your name on the last page, consumed by fire The bells of my fate play my songs But I don't want to dance anymore! But I don't want to dance anymore Cause I don´t want to dance with fire! Don't want to dance! The innocence slain, the price you have paid So tonight, if you teach your own children to hate Remember to tell of both Heaven and Hell Never open those gates for the weak Because we're up on the mountain We are one with the mountain Cause we are the mountain One with the Mountain Wildfire Mountain! Wildfire
