Lyrics

[Verse] I woke up in the brightest of all lights In a dome as dark, as black as night In the center straight beneath the height A mountain loomed before my eyes [Chorus] And I never thought I'd ever reach the peak of it Not least the other side [Verse] I tried to size the rock that rose I tried to think of an approach I searched in poetry and prose For an answer to appease my woes [Chorus] And I never thought I'd ever reach the peak of it Not least the other side So I tried to think of something else than cloudy peaks And not least another side [Verse] I tried to ready for the climb I strained the flesh, I strained the mind And I fell asleep and I dreamt of time And a voice that spoke to me, sublime [Chorus] You can take the long way around the mount The important thing is to reach the other side If you start out now and forget the peak It might still be light when you reach the other side (Ooooh!)
