A darkened night on mountain high
A raven’s view of Hell
I’ve seen this view a thousand times
Indeed I know it well
I watch the battles far below
They seem to never change
Crusades are launched in name of love
Sometimes in name of rage
Some battles I have taken up
Sometimes I’ve walked away
I’ve reveled in the glory
I’ve suffered through the pain
I’ve seen death you can’t imagine
Both friend and foe seen pass
I’ve seen some be forged like iron
Dreams a shattered looking glass
Here upon this mountain
I’ve seen the worst, I’ve seen the best
While this battle ever rages
I know my eyes will never rest
