Caedmon's Call - The High Countries Lyrics
A bus station, in the steam from the rainIn this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay?The whole field of vision, fades beneath me nowAnd the houses spread for a million miles,in this gray townAnd the weight of glory, if you held it in your handIt would pass right through you, so now's your chanceWould you fall to piecesWould you fall to piecesWould you fall to piecesIn the high countries?We are just pilgrims of the great divorceI am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorseAnd the weight of glory, if you held it in your handIt would pass right through you, so now's your chanceYou drink the cup to the bottom, but it burns in your handsThe cup was poured out on the Maker insteadOut on the green plains, I am but a ghostBound up with all that I call
