Down from the Mountain Lyrics by The Infamous Stringdusters

Toward the Fray

2022

Livin on this level ground
Like a flatline heartbeat all around
The air is thick like black clay mud
And rainclouds cover up the sun

Way up high, it’s like a dream
Where the snow it falls and sun it beams
The craggy rock and the rocky spires
Seem to light my heart on fire

I don’t wanna come down
When I’m higher than the world below
I don’t wanna come down
The rocky mountains ease my soul

Winds, they howl and trees, they fall
Fires burn like the flames of hell
But fire brings life to the land
From life to dust and dust to sand

Well, the mountain treats us all the same
No matter race creed or name
All equal underneath the sky
To let us live, or watch us die

I don’t wanna come down
When I’m higher than the world below
I don’t wanna come down
The rocky mountains ease my soul

Precious life, its precious land
No respect and all demands
Afraid to walk above the clouds
Too afraid to speak out loud

Well,s ahadows cast across the plains
As the sun sets in a small refrain
While we scavenge fight and kill
The mountains stand and always will

I don’t wanna come down
When I’m higher than the world below
I don’t wanna come down
The rocky mountains ease my soul

I don’t wanna come down
When I’m higher than the world below
I don’t wanna come down
The rocky mountains ease my soul
