Wild Hills by Red Temple Spirits Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the wild hills
The spirits never sleep
But the willow weeps
"Oh mother, hear us"
The mountains once
Spoke as loud as thunder
We can hear them still
Beneath the whore god mammoth
[Verse 2]
We walked in starlight
Under a silver moon
And the poet song
Kept us warm in winter
Then the wagons came
Over hill and down dale
To rape the land with smoke and fire
[Verse 3]
In the wild hills
The spirits never sleep
And we hear them creep
In with the birdsong
While the savage beast
Draws us closer to the abyss
We'll save from death by poison
[Bridge]
We'll use the energy from the sun
To heed water
And take the desert plain
Once tomorrow into arable land and then
We can plant more grain
And start breeding animals for slaughter
It's a time of change
Everything is moving
We'll store the energy from the sun
In huge crystals
We'll find in hidden caves
New waves of making the life of water
And levitate like plains
Old stones from megalithic shelters
It's a time of change
The wheel is set in motion
The wheel is set in motion
The wheel is set in motion
[Outro]
In the wild hills
The spirits never sleep
In the wild hills
In the wild hills
If tomorrow I were leaving for Lhasa
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
In the wild hills
The spirits never sleep
But the willow weeps
"Oh mother, hear us"
The mountains once
Spoke as loud as thunder
We can hear them still
Beneath the whore god mammoth
[Verse 2]
We walked in starlight
Under a silver moon
And the poet song
Kept us warm in winter
Then the wagons came
Over hill and down dale
To rape the land with smoke and fire
[Verse 3]
In the wild hills
The spirits never sleep
And we hear them creep
In with the birdsong
While the savage beast
Draws us closer to the abyss
We'll save from death by poison
[Bridge]
We'll use the energy from the sun
To heed water
And take the desert plain
Once tomorrow into arable land and then
We can plant more grain
And start breeding animals for slaughter
It's a time of change
Everything is moving
We'll store the energy from the sun
In huge crystals
We'll find in hidden caves
New waves of making the life of water
And levitate like plains
Old stones from megalithic shelters
It's a time of change
The wheel is set in motion
The wheel is set in motion
The wheel is set in motion
[Outro]
In the wild hills
The spirits never sleep
In the wild hills
In the wild hills
If tomorrow I were leaving for Lhasa
Then I wouldn't stay a minute more
