Atop the Highest Mountain a Man Stands Lonely Lyrics


Chorus (Andrew):

I stand alone

On nature's throne

Companions gone

I have outgrown

Verse (Andrew and Nnikia):

No need for others/I am at the peak

Of human existence/Above all the meek

Companions I once had/Above all the rest

Disciples I don't need/Their flaws to infest

My mind is its clearest/In solitude

Mine eagle and serpent/I am of their brood

In nature I thrive/Outside of the herd

A bear amongst bears/A bird amongst birds

Chorus (Andrew):

I stand alone

On nature's throne

Companions gone

I have outgrown

Verse (Andrew and Nnikia):

Echoes I hear/Within myself

Of that old saint/From whom I withdrew

Wisdom or folly/In solitude

I am all alone/Is this path true?

Doubting arises/Within my mind

The choice to abandon/All humankind

Can I find answers/Wholly within?

Other perspectives

Lost

Chorus (Andrew):

I stand alone

On nature's throne

Companions gone

I have outgrown

Verse (Anthony):

Atop this great mountain I stand all alone

Awaiting the lightning that will guide me on

Higher than man I believe I've become

But is this the answer? Is this my home?

Chorus (Andrew):

I stand alone

On nature's throne

Companions gone

I have outgrown

Verse (Anthony):

I've killed all my pity, I've killed all my shame

Abandoned the values from whence virtue came

Virtue they say, but it was all a lie

But are my own values an excess of pride?

Verse (Andrew, Nnikia and Anthony):

Atop the highest mountain

I stand alone

I have forged new values

Far from my home

But in my own ego

Have I lost my way?

Clung to new absolutes

When the truth is more grey?
