West Of Roan - The Mountain

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2092039
When I'm born they take my eyes
Put in two of clay
When I'm old enough they will take my tongue
And put in one of stone

You don't know my name
You call me "maiden"
It's a long, long way
To the mountain

A thousand years have passed and gone
And now our time has come
Take off the crown, throw it down at her feet
Come with me to the mountain
Come with me to the mountain
Come with me to the mountain
To the mountain

The mountain holds us deep inside
Under darkened stone
And under all hеr varied eyes
Hеr heart is waiting
Come with me to the mountain
Come with me to the mountain
Come with me to the mountain
And let her take you
Let her make you
As I have been made
As I am made
Come with me to the mountain (Let her take you)
Come with me to the mountain (Let her make you)
Come with me to the mountain (Come with me)
To the mountain
