On a mountain of madness At the top of the world Looking down at the people Leading their crazy lives I saw the token The seal has been broken We've built the tower way too high Dreams being shattered The rise and the fall Hear the sound of judgement day Prepare to meet your maker When they ring that bell it's heaven or hell We've been tossed we've been crossed Since the beginning of time we've been lost Looking for reason Walking on broken glass... ooh My eyes are bleeding The rise and the fall Been waiting for so long At the the gate of tears we cry Is there a place for you and I Gazing at the starlight Hoping for a free flight On the mountain where the light breaks That's where you'll find me Where the rain falls down on the stone surround I am the preacher man The voice of the promised land We've turned up the power way too high My eyes are bleeding The rise and the fall It goes on and on and on At the gate of tears we cry Is there a place for you and I Gazing at the starlight Hoping for a free flight Dreams being shattered The rise and the fall Been waiting for so long Since the day that we were born Good and evil we've been torn Gazing at the starlight Hoping for a free flight At the gate of tears we cry Is there a place for you and I Gazing at the starlight Hoping for a free flight I am the preacher man The voice of the promised land
