Across the Highlands Lyrics
I've been witness to so many wars
that I'm blind to affliction
no ability left to remorse
it's my faith and conviction
wide awake
in this world
full of hate
I unfurl
but I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
flying all across the highlands
searching for a way
to finalize my history
rising high above the mountains
reaching for the sky
closer to my sanctuary
all my life I've been trying to die
reach complete segregation
I am ready to open my eyes
to a new revelation
lost in time
there's no place
for my soul
in his embrace
for I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
bound to live eternally
for I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
and I can't escape my destiny.
Bound to live eternally
that I'm blind to affliction
no ability left to remorse
it's my faith and conviction
wide awake
in this world
full of hate
I unfurl
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
flying all across the highlands
searching for a way
to finalize my history
rising high above the mountains
reaching for the sky
closer to my sanctuary
reach complete segregation
I am ready to open my eyes
to a new revelation
there's no place
for my soul
in his embrace
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
bound to live eternally
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
and I can't escape my destiny.
Bound to live eternally

Thomas Youngblood said in an interview this song is about Highlander.
One comment? What the hell. This is one of my favourites by them.
Lol.. I loved this song but I never noticed it was about the Highlander till I was looking at the lyrics just now. Never payed attention to them before. The Highlander was one of my favorite TV shows (first movie is good too) and I was browsing the Karma book and was like... whoa, this is about the Highlander.
wow. yeah, this has to be highlander
before a imagined a god flying across the mountains like an eagle, surveying and finding the land boring already. he wants to die and go into nirvana, hehe--- too literal but this imagery really pops into my mind when i listen to it. now i'm going to see thomas youngblood (he looks like the highlander actor because of his hair) with a sword.
To me,
"but I am damned if life itself is condemnation"
Is talking about Christianity
and
"all my life I've been trying to die reach complete segregation I am ready to open my eyes to a new revelation"
Is talking about Buddhism.
He's searching for Truth
