On Holy Mountain I took her hand I took her hand and led her there Up to my nightfire which I rekindled and sat to regard her ember stare On Holy Mountain, God knows where I told her stories of days forgotten Embellished things that I don't know Stories of young men, young men who fought
and died and endarkened all the snow On Holy Mountain, lying in a row. On Holy Mountain she took my hand And she held it to her breast I grew a beard and she grew a baby And all our histories coalesced. We're elemental as fire and stone And mountains born within the sea The iris widens, inhales the world Then dives to refocus on those three On Holy Mountain, remembering what will be On Holy Mountain, remembering what will be.
