Testo Beyond the Mountain

Over the mountain we climb,
Into the valley of the sublime.
We've been held down for so long.
We've lost the pride
That we felt too strong.
Our black-eyed savior grows,
His flowers in the dirt.
Come to me, angel,
Let me wash away the hurt.
We've let go of something
That we've held too strong,
But it doesn't matter now that it's gone.
Because it takes all we give,
It took all we had and it's better off
Left now deep in the past.
Sickened by the sight,
Never had the right,
Strangled by your laws.
Crawling up the walls,
So we'll stay just the same.
Wade in the water
Where the infant first breathed life.
Come to us, angel,
Save our people from the strife,
I've latched unto something
I've missed for so long
And it doesn't matter I know that it's wrong,
It unites us as one like father and son,
And the circle is broken...
The damage is done.
So we'll fade into the same.
