Lyrics
The ancient age of truth From the sacred heart of youth The deepest point of view The hills remember everything Spirits rule the earth In the early morning mist They rise up from the dirt They rise up from the dirt Peace and war had passed As the woods grew thick and fast On fire-lit nights they danced The memory of fighting lives in Mountains full of gold Blood did flow as men took hold To claim them as their own The hills remember everything Spirits rule the earth In the early morning mist They rise up from the dirt They rise up from the dirt You can feel, under your feet, history Struggling to survive In the land of furs and knives Thunder sticks arrived The memory of fighting lives in Mountains full of gold Blood did flow as men took hold To claim them as their own The hills remember everything Spirits rule the earth In the early morning mist They rise up from the dirt They rise up from the dirt
