Capping Day

Mountain Witch

Compositor: Mountain Witch

We have gathered here today
To witness and to celebrate
Your dedication by the rite
Your deliverance of all ambition
It's just a piece of mind

You act different since that day
Doubt and revulsion went away
You deny your former self
Like youth was just a foolish dream

Some things never change
We work and pray, we live and lay
Labour feeds us well
We thank our masters every day

Interlude
Sunbeams pierce the crowns of trees
These ruins, they hold ancient mysteries
Some say that vagrants are all mad
And some say that man once was free

Break
Pack your things, run away
To the white mountains, this very day
Join the resistance, go to war
No more slavery anymore!

It sure will hurt from time to time
To leave the sheltered lifes behind
To stay the course towards the dawn
Of mankind's glorious return

Some things never change
Some embers will always remain
The vital spark of defiance
Against the rulers of this world
