There's a man up on the mountains so high
Touching sky
And the word is going round he's insane
People say
He is working out details of secret plans
Silly rumours but oh how they fear that man

World of whispers, tell your stories and lies
In disguise
When their echoes reach his door he'll descry
Distant fire
See the man safely looking down from the clouds
He's got nothing to hide from the roaring crowd

I've heard them speaking words of panic
Frightened of someone they banned
Keeping rifles at the ready
Spreading news that they don't understand
He'll be back in the night taking sweet revenge
