PJ Harvey - Dance on the Mountain lyrics
[PJ Harvey - Dance on the Mountain lyrics]
Kalashnikovs were brought across
The mountain on the back of mules
They stored their weapons in a school
There's something wrong
There's something wrong something terrifying
Something terrifying
And now the slopes something terrifying
Of dry grass something terrifying
Hold crouching boys something terrifying
Watch their fathers dance
Something terrifying holding hands
Something terrifying they follow the drums
Something terrifying
And something terrifying
Something terrifying is going on
Something terrifying
The oldest dancer takes off his hat
To place a glass of water on his head
Bares his teeth wakes the dead
This is their land they dance upon
Something terrifying is going on
Something terrifying something terrifying
Something terrifying something terrifying
The dancer falls to kneel before
The village elder stains on his shirt
Rising up growing strong
The boy children start to dance
It's terrifying it’s terrifying
In the distance people call
Like a river running home
In the distance people call
Like a river calling out
In the distance people call
In the oldest language known
It's terrifying it's terrifying
It's terrifying
The mountain on the back of mules
They stored their weapons in a school
There's something wrong
There's something wrong something terrifying
Something terrifying
And now the slopes something terrifying
Of dry grass something terrifying
Hold crouching boys something terrifying
Watch their fathers dance
Something terrifying holding hands
Something terrifying they follow the drums
Something terrifying
And something terrifying
Something terrifying is going on
Something terrifying
The oldest dancer takes off his hat
To place a glass of water on his head
Bares his teeth wakes the dead
This is their land they dance upon
Something terrifying is going on
Something terrifying something terrifying
Something terrifying something terrifying
The dancer falls to kneel before
The village elder stains on his shirt
Rising up growing strong
The boy children start to dance
It's terrifying it’s terrifying
In the distance people call
Like a river running home
In the distance people call
Like a river calling out
In the distance people call
In the oldest language known
It's terrifying it's terrifying
It's terrifying
