You came in from the distance, dressed in clothes of skins and hide
There seemed an ancient knowledge, that your books they kept inside
We fought a thousand times and I’d like to think I won, but
They arguably were stalemates, feats of one on one
Thinking about it now, I was someone else before
A ruler of a kingdom with nothing at the core
Lived in empty chambers, knocking down the city doors
I’d love to know where you ended up? And what it’s like, wherever that you are?
There’s one thing I regret, it was stealing all those cedars,
Removing Humbaba’s head, but it was fun
Run the roads, reckless abandon fighting with the Sun
Taking back the trophies to the cities that were ours
And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
I’ll swap all of my clothes for some old and tattered robes
I’ll pack coupla favourites, classics for the road
Tie off all my loose ends, don’t know when I’m coming back
I’ll dig out all your old books, and I’ll read em like a map
And when the map ends, in empty pages,
I’ll write what I can see
And a new road, into the unknown,
Will unfurl in front of me
And when the map ends, in empty pages,
I’ll write what I can see
And a new road, into the unknown,
Will unfurl in front of me
And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
There seemed an ancient knowledge, that your books they kept inside
We fought a thousand times and I’d like to think I won, but
They arguably were stalemates, feats of one on one
Thinking about it now, I was someone else before
A ruler of a kingdom with nothing at the core
Lived in empty chambers, knocking down the city doors
I’d love to know where you ended up? And what it’s like, wherever that you are?
There’s one thing I regret, it was stealing all those cedars,
Removing Humbaba’s head, but it was fun
Run the roads, reckless abandon fighting with the Sun
Taking back the trophies to the cities that were ours
And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
I’ll swap all of my clothes for some old and tattered robes
I’ll pack coupla favourites, classics for the road
Tie off all my loose ends, don’t know when I’m coming back

And a new road, into the unknown,

And when the map ends, in empty pages,

And a new road, into the unknown,

And I heard of a lost mountain

And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
And I heard of a lost mountain
At the setting of the sun
And there’s tunnel underneath it
Emerging in another world
