I scaled this slope to be alone,
Grow my garden, watch my chimney smoke,
And hide my face from the fragile things
That would surely crumble to dust at my touch
Whispers chased me into the night
Voices of virgins and whores
But the curse that once bound me to the summit
Has come undone and I'm not frightened anymore
I'm coming down from the mountain
Hide the children
I'm coming down from the mountain
Lord, what's that sound?
I'm coming down from the mountain
Yall grab your pitchforks now
I'm coming down from the mountain
Round up the town
Oh, sage and schemes once sang to me
Something markedly different than what they have come to mean
A burning bush still lights my path
It ain't the one I planned, but what's done is done
And I'm never going back
I'm coming down from the mountain
Hide the children
I'm coming down from the mountain
Lord, what's that sound?
I'm coming down from the mountain
Yall grab your pitchforks now
I'm coming down from the mountain
Round up the town
I never drank the blood of any man
Nor ate the flesh of friend nor foe
But should I find salvation in that vein of consumption
Oh I swear to God, I will let you know
I swear to God I will let you know
I'm coming down from the mountain
Hide the children
I'm coming down from the mountain
Lord, what's that sound?
I'm coming down from the mountain
Yall grab your pitchforks now
I'm coming down from the mountain
Round up the town
