mountain
Generdyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you just learned to fight
Made to live for this moment
To stand up and own the turf
While you crawl and you climb
I have carved out this line
Yeah, I'll tell you one time
Look me straight in the eyes
It hasn' always been me
So go tell it on the mountain
Who's gonna be the King
Go tell it on the mountain
Gotta make 'em all believe
Yeah, the darkness is fading
The battle's been raging
The war has already been won
Go tell it on the mountain
Oh, the mountain
Who's gonna be the King
Tearing down all the statues
That you built inside the realm
Gonna raise up our banners
And watch your world crumbling down
Like the phoenix inside
From these ashes, I rise
'Till everyone bows beneath
Yeah, I'll tell you one time,
Look me straight in the eyes,
It hasn' always been me.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Who's gonna be the king,
Yeah, go tell them on the mountain,
Oh, we gotta make 'em all believe.
That the darkness is fading,
The battle's been raging,
The war has already been won,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Oh, the mountain,
Whos gonna be the king.
Oh, oh, oh,
Gotta tell 'em on the mountain,
Gotta make 'em all believe,
Gotta tell 'em on the mountain,
So they can all see,
Whos gonna be the king.

I was born in the shadows
I come from a difficult background
Where you just learned to fight
While you were learning basic fighting skills, I was struggling just to survive
Made to live for this moment
My past has prepared me for this moment
To stand up and own the turf
To take control and claim my territory
While you crawl and you climb
While you are still trying to work your way up, I've already established myself
I have carved out this line
I have worked hard to create my own path
That I walk into victory
I am confident that my hard work will result in success
Yeah, I'll tell you one time
Let me be clear
Look me straight in the eyes
Pay attention and listen closely
It hasn't always been me
I haven't always been in control, but I am now
So go tell it on the mountain
Spread the word
Who's gonna be the King
Who will come out on top
Gotta make 'em all believe
I need others to believe in me to succeed
Yeah, the darkness is fading
Things are looking up
The battle's been raging
I've been fighting hard
The war has already been won
Ultimately, I know I will be successful
Tearing down all the statues
We are dismantling the old ways
That you built inside the realm
The old ways have been artificially constructed
Gonna raise up our banners
We will create our own symbols of power
And watch your world crumbling down
We will destroy the old system
Like the phoenix inside
Like the mythical creature, I will rise from adversity
From these ashes, I rise
From a difficult past, I have emerged stronger
'Till everyone bows beneath
I will not stop until I am respected and admired by all
Oh, we gotta make 'em all believe
Again emphasizing the importance of others' belief in me
Gotta tell 'em on the mountain
Spread the word again
So they can all see
So everyone can witness my success
Who's gonna be the king
Who will come out on top, yet again
