Return of the Mountain King - Bob Catley

The setting sunlight fades

And it’s only for you, only for you

The twilight masquerades

And it’s only for you, only for you

This timeless mood is strangely lyrical

Hear the glory as the rhyme unfurls

The finite sense we’re at the pinnacle

In a story where the lines are paved with pearl

This shroud of midnight waits

And it’s only for you, only for you

The crescent moon cast shapes

And it’s only for you, only for you

Anticipation reaching critical

Not a sound to split the night is heard

In silence waiting on a miracle

For a voice beyond the light to say the word

The mystic halls tonight

Resound and canonise

From ashes to dust

This nightmare might just be over

The ancient prophecies

Become reality

Our prayers will not stay

Unanswered this day

Now we await the return of the mountain king

This crown of daylight breaks

And it’s only for you, only for you

On towers through palisades

And it’s only for you, only for you

To caverns deep and inhospitable

Raise a glass and toast this, our rebirth

Through canyons dauntingly formidable

We are those who risked our lives to save the earth

The mystic halls tonight

Resound and canonise

From ashes to dust

This nightmare might just be over

The ancient prophecies

Become reality

Our prayers will not stay

Unanswered this day

Now we await the return of the mountain king

To caverns deep and inhospitable

Raise a glass and toast this, our rebirth

Through canyons dauntingly formidable

We are those who risked our lives to save the earth

The mystic halls tonight

Resound and canonise

From ashes to dust

This nightmare might just be over

The ancient prophecies

Become reality

Our prayers will not stay

Unanswered this day

Now we await the return of the mountain king

The mystic halls tonight

Resound and canonise

From ashes to dust

This nightmare might just be over

The ancient prophecies

Become reality

Our prayers will not stay

Unanswered this day

Now we await the return of the mountain king

The mystic halls tonight

Resound and canonise

From ashes to dust

This nightmare might just be over

The ancient prophecies

Our prayers will not stay

Unanswered this day

Now we await the return of the mountain king

The ancient prophecies

Our prayers will not stay

Unanswered this day
