Holy Mountain Here Is No Exit
A promise to live
A promise to thrive
This life is all we have
No escape
Give in and die
Defeat means death
Here is no exit
Only a promise to live
Only a promise to thrive
“Don’t be overwhelmed by the forces aligned against us”
This life is all we have
This life, this fate
Here is no exit
To live unbowed
Here is no exit
We hail those before us
Those who flourished
When no hope remained
In the face of adversity
“Do not be overwhelmed by the forces aligned against us”*
Defeat means death
[*From “Every Promise Broken” by Initial State (1984)]
