about

I was inspired to write this song by the Mourne Mountains where I have enjoyed many walks over the years. The song is a kind of metaphor for the temporalness to our lives, and how we transcend everything when we realise our priorities.

lyrics

Verse 1
All those things that you said
doesn't amount to much
As you lie there on your death bed
all those dreams in your head
Doesn't really matter
what you or I said

Bridge
When I look to the mountain
sweepin' down to the sea
When I look to the mountain
I don't see me
I don't see me
I don't see...

Chorus
But if lightning strikes me down
I might feel alive
Like Frankenstein's monster
for a second in time
Maybe I'll see the answer
before the final climb
If lightning strikes me down
I might feel alive
I might feel alive

Verse 2
As we reach the summit
the cloud begins to clear
Maybe you will see it
your fears will disappear
'Cause when you're dead and gone
it's not about who was here

Bridge
When I look to the mountain
sweepin' down to the sea
When I look to the mountain
I don't see me
I don't see me
I don't see...

Chorus
But if lightning strikes me down
I might feel alive
Like Frankenstein's monster
for a second in time
Maybe I'll see the answer
before the final climb
If lightning strikes me down
I might feel alive
I might feel alive
I might feel...
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
Alive!
