A report from the bunker

I can see clearly                        
From my diamond eyes                        
I'm going to the mountain with the fire spirit                        
No-one will accept all of me                        
So the fire will stop                        
Up through the streets                        
And the gunfire of cars                        
Am going to the mountain with the fire spirit                        
And no one will take all of me                        
So the fire will stop                        
                       
I will be cheating                        
The whole ritual                        
                       
I'm going to the mountain with the fire spirit                        
No-one will expect all of me                        
So the fire will stop                        
Someone will step out of the circle                        
Someone will turn and burn a world                        
Someone knows a better cell                        
Where the old north wind blows through southeast hell, yeah                        
Invention was betrayed by the machine                        
Promised like it was promised to me                        
I'm going up to the mountain to see                        
How the last thing, will set me free, yeah                        
I had to do something                        
I was wearing down                        
I was going down                        
Why can no one ever touch a fire spirit?                        
Why can no one ever hold a fire spirit?                        
Why can no one ever feel a fire spirit?                        
I am going to the mountain                        
I am going to the mountain                        
I am going to the mountain                        
I am going to the mountain                        
And I can see clearly                        
From my diamond eyes                        
I'm going to the mountain with the fire spirit                        
No one will accept all of me                        
And so the fire will stop                        
With too much patience                        
And too much pain                        
Am going to the mountain with the fire spirit                        
To make amends for all of me                        
And the fire will stop
