Mountain - Pride And Passion lyrics

rate me

One man's life passed all in needing

Words of love that want repeating.

Fathers passed to sons their craving.

Mothers loved their children saving

Kings who walk in banners waving still.

I have no heart for listening, to the men who talk of

Peace.

They're putting all their nonsense in my way.

Won't you please my love, please rest your tired little

Hands.

We've been talking half the night, and there's so much

More to say.

Mothers asking for this one more time, before their

Babies come

They're whistling in the smells of dusty tea

Someplace there's a bed of timeless loving turned to stone,

But the sun is shining yellow, and it's turned to shine

On me

Sons are breathing discontent in the circling vapour

Light

And frozen little soldiers guard their homeland through

The night

And a million nameless candles flicker out this one

Last time -

And the heartbeat in that aching crowd no it will not

Beat with mine

The answers were all given, to the faces now in tears

And heaven led us all into the war

The children who once laughed at this, would breath

Behind the song

It's the season for re-living, but they're living here no more.

Sons are breathing discontent in the circling vapour

Light

And frozen little soldiers guard their homeland through

The night

And a million nameless candles flicker out this one last time -

And the heartbeat in that aching crowd no it will not

Beat with mine

Hearts all filled of pride and passion

Sacrificed in royal nations

Stand we here in humble pleading

Save the souls who in retreating

Pray for peace and stop the bleeding now
