Lyrics

The Hidden Hill

I stood upon that hill
I saw the branches bending solemnly
against their will

I rode upon that snake
I saw your neck bending backwards, but it
never seemed to break

So we swam alongside
demons and gods
So we swam against the tide
through dead fish and drought

[...but then she said…]

I
Am
I am, and all will be
I
Am
I am, and will be
Fine

I walk upon this rock
I hear the sirens singing soothing songs
of memories they’ve lost

I ride upon that whale
I hear the voices of the drowning souls
the faceless and the frail

I
Am
I am, and all will die
I
Am
I am, and all the dead will be alive

Hide. Hide that you’re alive
Far better to be fading than
to run the risk and fly
