lyrics

Up on over the mountain, where it's keepers stay
Causin' all that racket boy, they been doing that all day
And if you could find one
I wouldn't take him on
'Cause those boys are as clever now as the day is long

But he who holds the north wall
Has come to save his mortal kin

Back from the eastern wars they tell you what they've seen,
Mountains knelt for dreadful armies and their new man machine

And the days they are retreating just as the condor steals his keep
And it's taking me over
It's taking me over
It's taking me over
It's taking me over

(Don't you see)
We're all useless, here in your new society
Estranged in our own land
On the earth of our father's hand we swear
To remember that we're not alone child

Up on over the mountain East to the end
Those who desire a fitfull affair on the knowledge of all men

But let you be forewarned from North to South
Whatever your burn is yours and no one else

Beyond the seventh hour
And takin' beyond the saturn's shade
Take your leave young prowler
And takin' beyond the balance made
It's takin' me over...
On this crowd of hollowed mirth
It's taking me over...

(Don't you see)
We're all useless here in your new society
Estranged in our own land
On the earth of our father's hand
We swear to remember
That we're not alone, child
We're not alone, child
We're not alone, child...

Now know you leave you falter...
