Mountain of Madness Lyrics

Ain't no mystery
About the way we feel
But you get so alone at times
And all you're trying to do is heal

What is this great misunderstanding?
Where do we go from here?
The future's in the sky above us
What if we let it just disappear?

On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down to hard ground
Please forgive me for asking
But there must be a better way around
The streets are on fire, the roses are dead and gone
On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down, so long

Ain't no victory
Worth payin' such a cost
That once the final bell has rung
You've earned less than what you've lost

So many different people
Different faces and different names
Underneath our blood runs red
And that's what makes us all the same (ooh)

On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down to hard ground
Please forgive me for asking
But there must be a better way around
The streets are on fire, roses are dead and gone
On top of this mountain of madness
It's a long way down, so long
So long
So long
