Beyond the Hill Lyrics

I have stood here waiting for a sign

Facing east, the grey and white intwine

When did this hill become my holy shrine?

The truth is I accept that I must die

Let me wander to a time that looks over the stars

To a place in your heart

Where no one could hold us apart

The source blesses those on the hill

An end to what we have known for so many years

From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still

I'm commanded to die here alone, up on the hill

They came like thunder, flowing deep and wide

The ghost of Badon, steel against the tide

This Albion would not be cast aside

Our blood will feed the fields and paint the sky

Let me wander to a time that looks over the stars

To a place in your heart

Where no one could hold us apart

The source blesses those on the hill

An end to what we have known for so many years

From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still

I'm commanded to die here alone, up on the hill

Do not say, this is the end

Shaking fury, up to the night sky

As she kisses her child's hand

The storm clouds weep a last goodbye

Do not say, this is the end

No tender hand, to guide you away

Do not say, this is the end

The firstborn is called to fight and die

The source blesses those on the hill

An end to what we have known for so many years

From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still

I'm commanded to die here alone, up on the hill

Through the smoke and the sweetness, won't let me in

Over oceans and mountains, I swear that I'm falling

From that moment I saw you, it stays with me still

I'm commanded to die here alone, up on the hill
