West of the Mountain

West of the mountain

West of the mountain

A shadow from the rain

West of the mountain

The alluvial plain

West of the mountain

Bridges and brooks

Highways of water flowing underfoot

Through the rocks and roots

West of the mountain

West of the mountain

Blessed by a fountain

West of the mountain

Many a rich land

Are volatile below

The ashes and the soot

Have made the soil good

So how can we show hate

For something that is so great

West of the mountain

West of the mountain
