"War On The Mountain" lyrics
I am the Lady of the Mountain, built my kingdom in the trees
Hard work and humble nature, I have all I ever need
And I built a mountain fortress, a home for my wild horses
To shutter out those who have forsaken me
I am the Mistress of Delight, I sleep until the break of night
I love to dance for all the world to witness
I grew up on this mountainside, Lady was a friend of mine
Until my unexpected disappearance
Oh thunder, oh lightning, bring the rain soon
There's fire in the air and a ring around the moon
The Lady of the Mountain gazes at the dimming light
Every creature of the forest knows there's something on her mind
There's gonna be a war on the mountain tonight
"What's wrong with me?" the Lady shouts, she slaps her face and turns about
Catching her reflection in the mirror
The burning handprint shows her pain, now ready for another sting
She strikes again and hopes no one can hear her
All the while, the clanking armor drawing nearer
The fortress door swings open and Lady's horrified to find
Her nemesis, the long-forgotten Mistress of Delight
Oh, the Mistress wastes no time, she opens up the finest wine
Kicks her boots up, stokes the fire with Lady's favorite carving knife
It's a war on the mountain tonight
Where have you been? What have you done?
Why are you sitting on my throne?
I'm just trying it out for size
Lady, it's been a long, long time
You've no idea the pain you caused
When you vanished, my joy was lost
All that's left is sweat and tears
And Mistress, you're not welcome here
Oh, I can see you're angry still
I left you here to foot the bill
But I've come back to face my crimes
I've come back to claim what's mine
I can't forget the scene that day
You plunged your blade and there it stays
Some memories can't be erased
Just like that handprint on your face
But now I feel that fire again
And if it looks could kill, we'd both be dead
And I know what you're looking for
And, woman, if you want it
You've got war on the mountain
War on the sea, war in the valley
War inside of me
So I'll be delight, and you'll be restraint
No more fear and no more shame
I don't wanna be the bane of your existence
I'll play with you and run you wild
Just like we did when you were a child
I'll serve your joy and finally bear witness
'Cause every Lady of the Mountain needs a Mistress
Hard work and humble nature, I have all I ever need
And I built a mountain fortress, a home for my wild horses
To shutter out those who have forsaken me
I am the Mistress of Delight, I sleep until the break of night
I love to dance for all the world to witness
I grew up on this mountainside, Lady was a friend of mine
Until my unexpected disappearance
Oh thunder, oh lightning, bring the rain soon
There's fire in the air and a ring around the moon
The Lady of the Mountain gazes at the dimming light
Every creature of the forest knows there's something on her mind
There's gonna be a war on the mountain tonight
"What's wrong with me?" the Lady shouts, she slaps her face and turns about
Catching her reflection in the mirror
The burning handprint shows her pain, now ready for another sting
She strikes again and hopes no one can hear her
All the while, the clanking armor drawing nearer
The fortress door swings open and Lady's horrified to find

Oh, the Mistress wastes no time, she opens up the finest wine
Kicks her boots up, stokes the fire with Lady's favorite carving knife
