Mine Is the Mountain

歌詞

Mine is the power and mine is the glory Mine is the mountain up which you tread Give me bold question, give me good reason Tell me you love me, fear all I have said Don't imitate me, don't forsake me In images silver, in idols of gold Don't make me jealous, don't make me angry Don't ever leave me out in the cold Mine is the mountain Bring all your pomp Precious jewels and your finery Build me safe haven for tablets of stone To live through the ages, to scold and to guide you Threaten, cajole you and cut to the bone Mine is the mountain I'm no pushover lamb, no gentle provider Vengeance, retribution are my middle names I can make a cadaver of your women, your firstborn With a snap of a finger, of salt and of flame Matty and Lucas may bring something softer Gentle in word and gentle in deed But you who ignore these things that are written Will define the story your children will read Mine is the mountain Bring all your pomp Precious jewels and your finery Bring me safe haven for tablets of stone To live through the ages, to scold and to guide you Threaten, cajole you and cut to the bone Mine is the mountain So think of me fondly in spite of the raging The ranting, the raving, the threatening tone For I am the father, the power and the glory And now, for God's sake, kindly leave me alone Mine is the mountain
