“When I Go on the Mountain”-C.M.W.

[Haunting acoustic guitar riff] [Slow, hypnotic strumming] [Charles Manson-style hums] Mmmm (Verse 1) [Soft, eerie vocals] When I go on the mountain, the wind calls my name The trees whisper secrets, the sky ain’t the same I speak in the silence, I walk with the sun I tell them to do it—it’s already done (Chorus) [Chanted refrain, distant backing vocals] Oh, I move like the river, I strike like the snake If the earth doesn’t tremble, I make the ground break You can run, you can hide, you can beg, you can pray But the mountain don’t listen—it just takes you away [Instrumental break – distant percussion, rattling chains] (Verse 2) [Low, ominous singing] The crows sing a warning, the wolves know the truth You don’t ask the fire why it burns through the roof You don’t stop the hammer when it’s falling in place You just watch as the shadow carves lines in your face (Chorus) [Chanted refrain, more intense this time] Oh, I move like the river, I strike like the snake If the earth doesn’t tremble, I make the ground break You can run, you can hide, you can beg, you can pray But the mountain don’t listen—it just takes you away [Bridge - Spoken Word] [Whispered, echo effect, occasional dissonant plucked guitar] The wind don’t stop for the hands of man The storm don’t bow when you draw your plans If the work ain’t done when I call for the deed Then the hands that don’t listen are the hands that will bleed [Instrumental break – ghostly hums, slow drum hits] (Outro - Refrain, slower and more hypnotic) [Melancholic acoustic strumming, layered whispering voices] When I go on the mountain, I speak to the trees I whisper to the thunder, I sink in the breeze And if it ain’t done, oh, if it ain’t done… Then I move on it—yeah, I move on it… [Song fades out with eerie humming and wind sound effects]
