Mountain Mama
Gotthard Lyrics

I was born in a cradle of stone
I was born and raised in a rugged environment that has prepared me for tough experiences in life.

Never thought, I had to make it alone
I had never thought that there would be times when I would be solely responsible for overcoming life's obstacles.

And what was comin' to me
The events and outcomes I had expected in life.

All just a bunch of lies
They were all untrue, and they misled me to trust in certain delusions.

N' I should have known better
I should have been more cautious and skeptical about the things I believed in.

You're the master of disguise
You, the deceiver, have a great talent for hiding your true intentions and portraying yourself as something else.

Crazy mama, you keep on comin' my way
You, the manipulative figure, keep approaching me with your toxic influence.

Now it's over
The harm you once caused is now coming to an end.

You ain't gonna make my day
You will not be able to have control over my life anymore.

No, not again
I will not fall for your treacherous actions again.

Mountain mama
The rough and challenging phases of life that I have to overcome like a mountain to attain success.

You where feeding my head
You were implanting thoughts in my mind that were harmful to my well-being.

With more than I could take
You were overwhelming me with your lies and manipulations beyond my tolerance level.

Always watching with your serious eyes
You were always observing me with a scrutinizing look, trying to catch me off guard with your schemes.

Every move that I make
You were keeping a close watch on every little action of mine.

Some times it's like heaven
At times, your deceptions were so good that they almost seemed like a blessing from above.

So I can tell
But I can now understand and discern the truth from your deceptions.

Darker than coal, hotter than hell
Your treachery has been so dark and intense that it felt like burning flames of hell.

Yeah, that's right
This is the painful reality that I now realize.

Feel like I'm caught in a spell
Your lies had a spell-like effect on me, making me feel trapped and helpless.

You ain't gonna steal my pay
You will not be able to rob me of my hard-earned money anymore.

No never again, mountain mama
I will never fall for your lies and disloyalty again.

Don't like that kinda game, I don't wanna
I detest your manipulative game and do not want any part of it anymore.

There's just you to blame
You are solely responsible for any negative consequences that followed your deceitful schemes.

So you better forget my name
You should quickly forget about me and go find someone else to deceive and exploit.
