Thursday - As He Climbed the Dark Mountain

From the Thursday/Envy split EP

Track 1

Lyrics:

I've watched him walk away
To climb the endless shadow side.
I've watched him holding on.
It was a thousand years, a thousand miles, a thousand dreams,
A thousand endings with no goodbye.
He disappeared from me
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain.

Let the mountain sleep in the past with all our bad dreams.

Was it a metaphor
For all the subtle ways that we'd grown apart?
Was it mortality
Climbing him blind right off the edge of his life
Into the hands of a loving god?
Or a raging void where we get torn apart?
With his hands in the air,
Was he laughing or dancing
Or only just trying to wave goodbye?
Did he say a prayer for me
As he climbed the highest peak of the dark mountain?

Let the mountain fall.
Strike me down until I can't go on.
Right now, let me fall down
Under the ground.

Do we go on alone?
It felt like a thousand years.
It was a thousand miles away.

[Styxs420]

IM ONLY 22 AND NO ONE I SPEAK WITH HAS HEARD OF THURSDAY. AM I OUT THE LOOP OR IS EVERYONE I KNOW DUMB....

[ChrisAROX]

buy their new album "Common Existence", you will not be dissapointed

[fatshadow10]

@Styxs420 thats crazy, i heard them 1st when i was about 18 in 2002, full collapse was out then and i think the best raw form of them, this song and songs like it are incredible though, dont know why they never play M. Shephard live

[ryanxdavey]

Common Existence is better than No Devolucion, ND has some awful songs on it.

Some really awesome songs, but alot more bad ones than Common Existence

[ckreticeland]

@FractalRaver I feel like Thursday lost a significant portion of their fanbase after the release of A City By the Lights Divided, which is actually my third favorite album by them.

@Styxs420

thursday was popular maybe 10 years ago. Most of the people that listen to them now used to listen to them back when Full Collapse came out (at least, speaking for myself).

[DJTONIO1]

their albums are so diverse and god-like...and btw the envy songs, are as amazing as ATDI and pianos become the teeth...

one love....!

[couchGod]

@Styxs420 HELL no!! everyone u kno is outta the loop...possible dumb too and into mainstream shit?

[ckreticeland]

@VaIIentine bought it the day it came out =] it's the album that got me back into Thursday. Even though I like War All The Time a bit more, No Devolution is one of their best albums.

[VaIIentine]

@ChrisAROX Buy "No Devolucion" its even better.

[11mothernature]

[11mothernature]
