The Black Mountain
High up on the rockiest mountain
A mountain of black stone
Very sharp the flat face
This place has a dark cloud
Floating just over the mountain
It’s the only cloud in the sky
Ominous darkness over the black stone
A mountain of doom it is
It will rain on the harsh land
Treacherous the landscape is
Great and mighty
Especially with the large cloud
All power is spread about here
Not many can climb this mountain
The mighty sheer mountain
Of all slate, coal black stone
The cloud seems to be attached
To the dim mountain
A whole scene of darkness
Very hard to see and visualize
To see the top of the mountain
Maybe no one has really seen the very top
They might not be able to reach it
To feel the mightiness of the mountain
What power is there
What a true feel of dominance
A real deliverance of the soul
Into another realm of life
The black mountain
