Mountain - Pride and Passion lyrics

One man's life has stalled in needing
Words out loud that want repeating
Fathers passed to sons their craving
Woman's loved their children saving
Kings who walk in banners waving still

I have no heart for listening
To the men who talk of peace
They're putting all their nonsense in my way
Won't you please, my love, please
Rest your tired little hands
We've been talking half the night
And there's so much more to say

Mothers asking for this one more time
Before their babies come
They're misled in the smells of dusty tea
Someplace there is better
Where time looks nothing turned to stone
But the sun is shining yellow
And it's turned to shine on me

Someone breathing discontent in
The circling vapour light
And frozen little soldiers guard
Their homeland through the night

And the million nameless cattle
Weather out just one last time
And the heartbeat in that aching
Crowd no it will not beat with mine

The answer we're all given
To the base analogy
And hither led us all into the war
The children who once laughed at this
Would breath behind the song
It's the season for re-living
But they're living in the heart

Someone breathing discontent in
The circling vapour light
And frozen little soldiers guard
Their homeland through the night
So a million nameless cattle
Weather out just one last time
And the heartbeat in that aching
Crowd no it will not beat with mine

Hearts all filled of pride and passion
Sacrificed in royal nations
Stand we here in humble breeding
Save the souls who in retreating
Prayed for and even needing now
