Pillar of the World

[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] The mountain’s slopes are 60 degrees Its sacred top has never been reached Up on the peak lives a divine spirit Third eye makes ash of all that gets near it Mmmmm Hmmmm… [Verse 2] Soaring up with four equal sides The angles formed to direct our skies Circle each face to gain renewal A proud display of distinct jewels Shining lapis, ruby, crystal, gold On Kora treks one must brave the cold [Chorus 1] A pillar bearing the world Moving clouds into a twirl Glaciers feed the water’s might One hundred eight treks to enlight [Instrumental break] Mmmmm Hmmmm Aaaahaaa… [Verse 3] It’s the center of our universe Attempt to climb and clouds hold a curse At the foot two lakes leave their own mark One known for light, the other for dark [Chorus 2] A pillar bearing the world Moving clouds into a twirl Glaciers feed the water’s might One hundred eight treks to enlight [Bridge] Walk around and time moves faster A single trek will cleanse your sins The sky above forever spins Mmmmm Hmmmm… [Instrumental break] [Outro] The mountain sits on a granite base Circle it and sense the Mmmmm… Mystic grace Ooooooohh Ooooooohh… Middle of all space Hmmmm… Middle of all space Mmmmm Mmmmm… [Instrumental outro]
