Far over the misty mountains cold Deep in my chest where the old stories fold I must away ere the break of day To face the ghosts that I’ve locked away Mirror’s cracked, voices scream in my head Demons I buried still ain’t dead Bottle’s empty, heart feels like lead But something inside says “get out of bed” The wind howls low through the cracks in my soul Shadows dance where the broken parts roll I’ve been hiding too long in this cage of control Time to walk through the fire and reclaim what I stole Far over the misty mountains grim To the caverns deep where the real me is dim I ride through the storm, I carry my sin To find the gold that’s buried within Oh the wonder, the fire, the call in the wind Far over the mountains… I’m coming home again They told me stay safe, keep your head down low But the quiet was killing me slow Now I’m breaking the chains that I forged on my own Chasing the light that I’ve never been shown Scars on my soul like tattoos in the dark Every fall taught me how to leave my mark No more running from what I feel This road is mine — it’s time to heal The wind howls low through the cracks in my soul Shadows dance where the broken parts roll I’ve been hiding too long in this cage of control Time to walk through the fire and reclaim what I stole Far over the misty mountains grim To the caverns deep where the real me is dim I ride through the storm, I carry my sin To find the gold that’s buried within Oh the wonder, the fire, the call in the wind Far over the mountains… I’m coming home again Under the mountain dark and tall I finally answer my own call The dragon inside don’t scare me no more ‘Cause I’m the king I was searching for… Far over the misty mountains cold To the depths inside where my true story’s told I must away ere the break of day To claim the fire I threw away Oh the wonder, the fire, the truth in the wind Far over the mountains… I’m finding me again I must away… Far over the misty mountains… I’m coming home… To me.
