Holy Mountain

Holy mountain
Suffer me not anymore 
Oh ye big master 
Cos I will never give up my soul 
To the demons of vanity 
What more do I have to loose
If you kill my spirit 
What is the essence of life 
If the most valuable source of life  is exchanged
For materialistic worth
How much money is worth my life
is obviously obvious 
This is not a good business
So suffer me not no more
Torture me not again 
Stay far from me ye demonic forces
Of vanity and distraction
You can't win my mind
I can't go down this way 
So I keep running 
Yes i keep running so far away 
to pray on top of the 
Holy mountain

I keep fighting with my demons 
Oh ye big master 
Set me free from oppression
Set me free from your opinion
I can't loose my soul for vanity 
Holy mountain oh holy mountain
Here I come again 
Hear my quest 
Save my people 
Save our land 
Save my soul 
Oh God


Holy mountain 
My town remains tougher
Confused people everywhere on Biafra soil
Blood shed no longer a new story 
Despite it's different and difficult reasons 
Rape murder gangs prostitution kidnapping 
Of the innocent 
Keeps the tougher men stable in economy
Despite the poor pays the cost 
Take a walk in the east side down the streets 
Despite it richness in nature
Darkness rooms and behold it powers
Over the dignity of my people
So is clear that their is fire on the mountain
So I run run run 
Yes I run run run 
I keep running so far away 
to pray on top of the 
Holy mountain


I keep fighting with my demons 
Oh ye big master 
Set me free from oppression
Set me free from your opinion
I can't loose my soul for vanity 
Holy mountain oh holy mountain
Here I come again 
Hear my quest 
Save my people
Save our land 
Save my soul 
Oh God
