[Instrumental Intro: 0:00 – 1:25]
[Verse 1]
Lo! Lo and behold
The world laid before you
It takes new forms
It grows
Before long
The land will smolder
And chaos will overflow
[Pre-Chorus]
From the peaks
To the seas
Ignition from the inner channels
Through the mantle, death now travels
[Chorus]
From the core
Wherein is stored
A molten mortar waiting for
A vent to open for fire to flow
Deposit ash
Stone turned to glass
Through small eruptions, the mountain born
As the quake contributes to the storm
[Verse 2]
Now, out from the cold
The world has flourished
The soil flush with warmth
It grows
Before long
The land will reap spoils
The flora in overgrowth
[Pre-Chorus]
From the peaks
To the seas
Ignition from the inner channels
Through the mantle, death now travels
[Chorus]
From the core (From the core)
Wherein is stored (Wherein is stored)
A molten mortar waiting for
A vent to open for fire to flow
Deposit ash (Deposit ash)
Stone turned to glass (Stone turned to glass)
Through small eruptions, the mountain born
As the quake contributes to the storm
[Guitar Solo: Michael Stancel]
[Bridge]
The terra-thaw
The mist, it breaks and lifts
The rising of the oceans
Create bizarre tidal shifts
Tectonic collisions
Shake the fragile earth
The quake creates a path
From hell to the surface
[Guitar Solo: Greg Burgess]
[Chorus]
From the core (From the core)
Wherein is stored (Wherein is stored)
A molten mortar waiting for
A vent to open for fire to flow
Deposit ash (Deposit ash)
Stone turned to glass (Stone turned to glass)
Through small eruptions, the mountain born
As the quake contributes to the storm
[Post-Chorus]
The mountain born
