[Verse]

Grew enemies to avoid pain

Sold them in pills for your own gain

You'll never get back to the old ways

So despise what you've lost, for your own sake

Stood in a pool full of red snakes

Up to your knees in a night lake

Unsure if you knew what was at stake

Fully prepared for a tough break


[Chorus]

At the mount of ancient song

Where you grieve for what is gone

A thousand hands, countless plans

And youth


[Verse]

As sure as you were of the Earth's place

At the terrible centre of black space

Now that you've comе to renounce faith

In emеrging from bodies with no name

Wandered in search of a new age

Slipped on the rivers of old rage

Parted, at last, from an old weight

Sprang from the water with no shame


[Chorus]

At the mount of ancient song

Where you grieve for what is gone

A thousand hands, countless plans

And youth
