lyrics

When there’s nothing left to give
And the stench of city streets
And the lies that people tell
Drive you away to your own misery

A time when evil holds the reins
Too much ventured, nothing gained
A time of loneliness and greed
A time of opulence and suffering

In a forest far from here
Where ancient trees grow very slowly
A mountain climbs into the sky
And lonely souls go there to end their lives

The famous mount we all have seen
In paintings, pictures and in dreams
Capped in snow and washed by rain
The clouds surround all those heartbroken

They cry for help but no one hears
They have been suffering for so many years
They cry for help, but no one cares
Now we must live with all the consequences

A rope of white hung from a tree
A rope so tight, swinging freely
A noose made ready, just for one
Don’t come too late, what’s done is done

Suicides are on the rise
Society has left them high and dry
They see no reason to live on
When in the end all hope is gone, gone

They cry for help but no one hears
They have been suffering for so many years
They cry for help, but no one cares
Now we must live with all the consequences

They cry for help but no one hears
Too busy worshipping the gods on Wall Street
They cry for help, but no one cares
Deep in the forest you can hear their sorrow
