The mountain all alone she stands
The city's under rebel hands
The clouds reflect the firs as they burn.
The lion guards his scattered pride
The devil on the other side
As I’m stumbling, falling and calling
On the hill of no return.
The dog-packs haunt the outer walls
We leave the stricken where they fall
The children search
Forbidden things to learn.
Shadow'd figures steal the bones
A scorpion under ev'ry stone
As I’m stumbling, falling and calling
On the hill of no return
The secret cave of firelight calls
Visions flicker on the walls
The dancing hunter to the beach returns
History goes colliding by
It passes with impassive eyes
As I’m stumbling, falling and calling
On the hill of no return.
Carefully carefully from the chrysalis crawl
Fan the fire where the phoenix falls
A final farewell to the used to be
Desolation has set us free
Desolation has set us free
