I feel deep down a time ago

But I clawed my way out of that hole

I brought back to the surface some gleaming gold

And this radiating in my soul

The more I suffer the more I see

I'm climbing mountains made by me

So I took the highway down to the sea

And let the waves wash over me

Was born a prisoner without bail

Took me twenty sick years just to break that jail

I deserted down the dusty trail

Where I bore the cross and drove the nails

The more I suffer the more I see

I'm climbing mountains made by me

So I took the highway down to the sea

And let the waves wash over me

Walking slow on burning coal

And waking up at midnight

The more I suffer the more I see

I'm climbing mountains made by me

So I took the highway down to the sea

And let the waves wash over me
