Lyric

Feeling the wind

Cooling me down

Arrived in this valley

Far from the town

Far from the noise

Far from the heat

Life here seems pure

The fruits taste so sweet

Getting closer to the village I start to understand

Strangers like myself are not seen as the common man

Mouths are smiling but the eyes they tell another tale

Asking for the shaman they point up but more they do not tell

At the top there is a house of, considerable size

Decorated with skulls, flags and painted eyes

Before I knock I am called inside, he knows my name

He knows why I am here, the trip was not in vain

Climb through the sky

I seek a new life

Climb through the sky

I run from life

The ritual starts

Smoke fills the room

The tension is heated

My mind is a blur

I start to see things

That are not there

Things I thought lost

Futures not lived

Running through the forest, being chased by

Evil men that I did not know I

Yelling into the night while I am fleeing

Gripped fear and hopeless feelings

My legs are short, growing closer

Short of breath, wish for my mother

Looking down the road, see my brother

And his gun goes

The scene is changed, the sun is shining

My suit is new, velvet lining

Receive a medal, from the king

This is the feeling, when you win

The vision shifts and finally I see it

The goal of my quest the golden iris

Behind a waterfall in the mountain

Veiled by mist and long forgotten

Claiming this price would make me famous

I will be so courageous

The vision fades and I wake up

Climb through the sky

I seek a new life

Climb through the sky

I run from life

Climbing up the mountain side

I have left my mule behind

I am only of one mind

To reach the cave behind

The waterfall is thrashing

The sound it is deafening

The ice water is painful

But I make a break for it

Illuminated by my torch

The cave is moldy and cold

The chest looks awfully old

I hope it contains gold

I give the lid hard shove

Inside I find it all

The smell of tobacco smoke

Someone’s behind me, oh
