"Mountain (Rewrite)"

"MOUNTAIN (REWRITE)"

[VERSE I]
Deep within the rainforest, amongst the hanging vines
A mountain waits in isolation from the world outside
But every river leads away, sustaining sheltered life
Nestled in the shadows cast by palms raised to the sun
The mountain craves discovery, that soon a day will come
When footprints in the lush surroundings don’t appear to run

[CHORUS]
An eagle hunting through the trees
Can soar above the canopy
Explore beyond the evergreens
In search of something more
The mountain’s limitations
Both its lifeblood and erosion
A fortress of emotions
Hide beneath the forest floor

[VERSE II]
Deep within the rainforest, the seasons rarely change
And even in the driest months the dewy mountain stays
A constant humid aura leaves an essence of decay
Vacant from another year of caverns unexplored
The mountain grows impatient of the cycle it endures
A natural phenomenon discreetly taking form

[CHORUS]
An eagle hunting through the trees
Can soar above the canopy
Explore beyond the evergreens
In search of something more
The mountain’s limitations
Both its lifeblood and erosion
A fortress of emotions
Hide beneath the forest floor

[BRIDGE]
Once a subtle echo
Now a deafening eruption
The mountainside will crumble
As the earth begins to crack
The magnitude of magma flow
Defies all expectation
A new volcanic freedom
Signalled by a cloud of ash

[CHORUS OUTRO]
An eagle fleeing from the scene
Can soar above the lava streams
Explore beyond the tempest seas
In search of something more
The mountain’s limitations
Both its lifeblood and erosion
A fortress of emotions
Decorate the forest floor
