lyrics

* black mountain side : no voices calling on black mountain side/the door stands open/the door is closed/a light upon the hearth conceals the standing silent stone/the wind is blowing on black mountain side/the trees unmoving stand bowed and sere/first there are footsteps/then there are none/all the world stands waiting for the rising of the moon/as from the distance/on black mountain side/metal on metal leather on stone/and when the skin is flayed from the bone/a thousand thousand tiny hearts/together beat as one/the sun has shadows on black mountain sides/the tumult rises and all is silent/if time if kind well then we might catch the tide/the sands begin to run before our race is done .
