about

An almost mystical experience in a place where the continents literally collide inspired this song.

lyrics

Sometimes you have to climb up
To get above all the wreckage rubble ruin,
Gain a vantage point, perspective grand,
History, stories ancient memories
In this place where we stand,
Spilling into the past like
So many lost grains of sand.

And the heavens open to us,
Sun shining on a silvery sea.
As if just for you and me.
Mesmerized as you should be.

Where the continents collide,
Grind silently deep beneath the icy waters,
Leaves you mystified, as you should be
In this tumultuous and jagged land.
Volcanic stretch like a serpent band
Hanging rock meeting of the clans.

And the heavens open to us,
Sun shining on a silvery sea.
As if just for you and me.
Mystified as you should be.
