On The Hill Lyrics

I'm alone amongst my friends on the top of this old hill

The silence says it all to me

Visible breath and stone cold hands, their dreams never fullfill

Unaware that this is meant to be

Worn out I'm leaning on the pole while the flag is barely moving

And my friends are all asleep

There seems to be no living soul aware that time's proceeding

Undisturbed, relentlessly

The mist sticks needles in my face and hides the world below my feet

So out of reach for me

Will you remember me, how I was staring in the black, how I was staring in the black

Not like the legend soon to be but just afraid, yeah, just afraid

And never coming back, no, never coming back

Here they come. Here they come. Lord, save me

The silence has returned on the top of this old hill

What is left is only memory

Pain and fear matter no more, just some birds continue singing

And my friends forever sleep

Peace is there when least expected and overrules all sorrow

Unannounced and unexplained

How I wish that I could tell that I'm still here on this old hill

So you could talk to me

Will you remember me, how I was staring in the black, how I was staring in the black

Not like the legend soon to be but just afraid, yeah, just afraid

And never coming back, no, never coming back
