about

TRACK 12: Mountainheart



Picked Guitar

Vocals by Eric Seguin


Inspired by the resilience, the fortitude and solid expression of the
human condition. For the stoic virtue of Marcus Aurelius and the grand
passions of Jayadeva.


Lyrics:


I am the mountain, 

And I run with the melting ice

Down my hardened sides. 


A million burning suns I have seen,


A million different faces I have been. 


As to what lies within;

Same as without but flame birthed in flesh. 

Ready to call out to the morning light,

Ready to rival suns rays in flight.

Can you not see the peak 
for it shuns the weak. 


I am the mountain's heart

I am the mountain

I am the roots of antiquity 


To rise again in flame and smoke and ash 

To turn the earth into molten bath

I will cleanse the transient and extend my reach


Can you not see my peak

I will cleanse the weak

about

Bitter Tree Jeju-do, South Korea

The winds howl nobody's melody through a bitter tree's branches that reach up past the sky. Mountainous bow-tar ambiance, post-doom and drone. Ottawa, Canada/ Jeju-do, South Korea.
