Cover art for Seven-Story Mountain lyrics by Railroad Earth

To me this song says that we have many chances in this life to conquer our demons. As we have in our past lives, we are given another chance. The seven story mountain is an analogy to our 7 chakras (the throat-voice,and the crown-light being the top of the mountain) being the mountain, we have to climb to the top, to conquer. The seven story mountain is also an analogy to the seven story pyramids the Mayans built, many of which were precisely oriented with the sunrise and sunset.
