roots of the mountain

Singer:enslaved

approaching life

from the seeds of time

cosmic pulse

aeons of chaos

feel the flames

the streams of life below

feel the flames

that blind your inner eye

seek and find

what lingers deep inside

seek and find

but do not try to understand

spread the wings

and fly into your mind

spread the wings

and find the eagle in the sky

find the source

the ancient passion play

find the source

the roots of the mountain

hark

men of faith

where were you

when your children bled to death?

listen

men of law

where were you when the mothers were slain?

feel the flames

the streams of life below

feel the flames

that blind your inner eye

seek and find

what lingers deep inside

seek and find

but do not try to understand

hark

men of faith

when you set fire to the fields

the grass grew stronger

listen

men of law

when you turned from life

the flames endured

leave order

the fiend of the earth

the self is all you've got

enter life on the waves from the void

behold the ancient roots

and the battles shall forever go on

with peace comes our certain doom

the mother will love as she hates

where there is life

you will die

approaching life

aeons of chaos

feel the flames

the streams of life below

feel the flames

that blind your inner eye

seek and find

what lingers deep inside

seek and find

but do not try to understand

spread the wings

and fly into your mind

spread the wings

and find the eagle in the sky

find the source

the ancient passion play

find the source

the roots of the mountain
