This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It came from dismal shadows
Creeping, sudden, from behind.
Fell upon my merry whistle
Darkened me at heart and sight.
Back with me, one again with the memory
Again I behold the ruins
That I left when I was all devoured by wrath.
Last night out in the timber
A thousand torrent's vehemence
Came rushing through my veins
Up my throat and filled the eyes,
And then that I knew
All pain will be undone
When I pack my bags
And depart for lonely roads
And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering
How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back.
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the sea.
Merely hours passed
That I had left him to his mountains
His colossal idols - one for every spear in me.
Slopes so steep,
I could not conquer in a lifetime.
Now they're all but ruins,
Ruins I left behind.
And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off plants aside, still wondering
How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back.
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea.
There is always one waiting for me, my beloved
I shall be with her again so soon.
Craving for her lips, her kiss
Her hair in summer winds
The morning dew dripping down her breasts.
Shadows and Flames.
I have been demure
Cries were silent but heart ablaze.
Have been one of his shadows
Condemned to stray an unlit maze.
My feet are numb, soles torn wide open
After endless years of clambering
My path is lit and leads me north.
And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering
How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back,
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea?
Creeping, sudden, from behind.
Fell upon my merry whistle
Darkened me at heart and sight.
Back with me, one again with the memory
Again I behold the ruins
That I left when I was all devoured by wrath.
Last night out in the timber
A thousand torrent's vehemence
Came rushing through my veins
Up my throat and filled the eyes,
And then that I knew
All pain will be undone
When I pack my bags
And depart for lonely roads
And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering
How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back.
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the sea.
Merely hours passed
That I had left him to his mountains
His colossal idols - one for every spear in me.
Slopes so steep,
I could not conquer in a lifetime.
Now they're all but ruins,
Ruins I left behind.
And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off plants aside, still wondering
How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back.
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea.
There is always one waiting for me, my beloved
I shall be with her again so soon.
Craving for her lips, her kiss
Her hair in summer winds
The morning dew dripping down her breasts.
Shadows and Flames.
I have been demure
Cries were silent but heart ablaze.
Have been one of his shadows
Condemned to stray an unlit maze.
My feet are numb, soles torn wide open
After endless years of clambering
My path is lit and leads me north.
And with courageous verve I stride
Chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering
How come you never bleed
When I stab right into your back,
How come you never choke
When I drown you in the hot and burning sea?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
