Nevember1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cross the Green Mountain
I sit by the stream
Heaven blazing in my head I
I dreamt a monstrous dream
Something came up
Out of the sea
Swept through the land of
The rich and the free

I look into the eyes
of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself
Is this the end?
Memories linger
Sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet

Altars are burning
With flames far and wide
the foe has crossed over
from the other side
They tip their caps
from the top of the hill
You can feel them come
More brave blood to spill

Along the dim
Atlantic line
The ravaged land
lies for miles behind
the light's coming forward
and the streets are broad
all must yield
To the avenging God

The world is old
The world is grey
Lessons of life
Can't be learned in a day
I watch and I wait
And I listen while I stand
To the music that comes
from a far better land

Close the eyes
of our Captain
Peace may he know
His long night is done
The great leader is laid low
He was ready to fall
He was quick to defend
Killed outright he was
by his own men

It's the last day's last hour
of the last happy year
I feel that the unknown
The world is so near
Pride will vanish
And glory will rot
But virtue lives
and cannot be forgot

The bells
of evening have rung
there's blasphemy
on the end of the tongue
Let them say that I walked
in fair nature's light
And that I was loyal
to truth and to right

Serve God and be truthful
Look upward beyond
Beyond the darkness that masks
the surprises of dawn
In the deep green grasses
of the blood stained woods
They never dreamed of surrendering
They fell where they stood

Stars fell over Alabama
And I saw each star
You're walking in dreams
Whoever you are
Chilled as the skies
Keen as the frost
The ground's froze hard
And the morning is lost

A letter to mother
came today
Gunshot wound to the breast
is what it did say
But he'll be better soon
He's in a hospital bed
But he'll never be better
He's already dead

I'm ten miles outside the city
And I'm lifted away
In an ancient light
That is not of day
They were calm they were blunt
We knew them all too well




We loved each other more than
we ever dared to tell

Overall Meaning

In "Cross the Green Mountain," Nevember1 paints a vivid picture of war and its aftermath. The lyrics describe a soldier's journey through the ravaged land during the Civil War as he reflects on the chaos and destruction that he has witnessed. The first verse sets the scene, as the soldier sits "by the stream" and dreams of "Heaven blazing in my head," juxtaposing this dream with the "monstrous dream" of war that he has just lived through. The second verse highlights the soldier's sense of loss and sorrow as he contemplates the end of the war and the fate of those killed in battle. The final verse speaks of the deep bonds between soldiers, who "loved each other more than we ever dared to tell."


Throughout the song, Nevember1 employs a range of symbols and imagery to convey the complexity of war and its aftermath. The "monstrous dream" can be seen as a symbol of the chaos and destruction that war brings, while the flames of burning altars and the ravaged land are emblematic of the devastation wrought by conflict. The soldier's reflection on the fate of his fallen comrades is a powerful meditation on the beauty and fragility of life, while the final image of soldiers who "loved each other more than we ever dared to tell" underscores the deep human connections forged in times of crisis.


Line by Line Meaning

I cross the Green Mountain
I am on a journey and I overcome many obstacles


I sit by the stream
I take a moment to rest and reflect


Heaven blazing in my head I
I am inspired by a divine force


I dreamt a monstrous dream
I had a terrifying nightmare


Something came up
A sudden event occurred


Out of the sea
From the depths of the ocean


Swept through the land of
Spread throughout the country


The rich and the free
Affecting all people regardless of status


I look into the eyes
I seek comfort from a trusted friend


of my merciful friend
Someone who shows me compassion


And then I ask myself
I wonder and contemplate


Is this the end?
Is this the final conclusion?


Memories linger
Past experiences continue to have an impact on me


Sad yet sweet
Emotions that are both negative and positive


And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
I consider those who have passed away and will be reunited


Altars are burning
Places of worship are being destroyed


With flames far and wide
The destruction is extensive


the foe has crossed over
The enemy has invaded


from the other side
From a neighboring country or region


They tip their caps
They show respect and acknowledgement


from the top of the hill
Observing from a high vantage point


You can feel them come
A sense of anticipation or dread


More brave blood to spill
More lives will be taken in battle


Along the dim
In the faint light


Atlantic line
The coastline of the Atlantic ocean


The ravaged land
The land devastated by conflict


lies for miles behind
Extending for a great distance


the light's coming forward
Progress is being made


and the streets are broad
The way ahead is open and clear


all must yield
All obstacles must be overcome


To the avenging God
To a higher power seeking justice


The world is old
The world has existed for a long time


The world is grey
Life can be dull and monotonous


Lessons of life
Life experience and wisdom


Can't be learned in a day
Takes time and effort to acquire


I watch and I wait
I am patient and observant


And I listen while I stand
I am attentive and aware


To the music that comes
To the sounds of beauty and inspiration


from a far better land
From a place of harmony and peace


Close the eyes
Let go of the struggle


of our Captain
The leader who has passed away


Peace may he know
May he rest in peace


His long night is done
His suffering has ended


The great leader is laid low
The respected figure has died


He was ready to fall
His fate was inevitable


He was quick to defend
He was courageous and protective


Killed outright he was
He was killed instantaneously


by his own men
Betrayed and killed by those he trusted


It's the last day's last hour
The end of an era is near


of the last happy year
At the end of a period of prosperity


I feel that the unknown
I sense an impending change


The world is so near
I feel connected to the world


Pride will vanish
Arrogance will fade away


And glory will rot
Fame and success are temporary


But virtue lives
Goodness endures


and cannot be forgot
And will always be remembered


The bells
The sounds of warning


of evening have rung
The day is coming to an end


there's blasphemy
There are those who defy religion


on the end of the tongue
Their words are profane


Let them say that I walked
I want to be remembered as


in fair nature's light
Someone who appreciated nature


And that I was loyal
And remained true


to truth and to right
To honesty and justice


Serve God and be truthful
An instruction to follow religious teachings and be honest


Look upward beyond
Look beyond the material world


Beyond the darkness that masks
Beyond the difficulties that hide


the surprises of dawn
To the hope and new beginnings of a new day


In the deep green grasses
In the midst of the natural world


of the blood stained woods
In a place of violent conflict


They never dreamed of surrendering
They never considered giving up


They fell where they stood
They died bravely in battle


Stars fell over Alabama
A reference to a meteor shower


And I saw each star
I was awestruck by the beauty


You're walking in dreams
You're experiencing something surreal


Whoever you are
No matter who you are


Chilled as the skies
Cold weather


Keen as the frost
Intense as the icy weather


The ground's froze hard
The ground is frozen solid


And the morning is lost
The day has been delayed or disrupted


A letter to mother
A message from a soldier to his family


came today
Was delivered recently


Gunshot wound to the breast
A serious injury suffered


is what it did say
As reported in the letter


But he'll be better soon
He is expected to recover


He's in a hospital bed
He is receiving medical care


But he'll never be better
He will never fully recover


He's already dead
He has passed away


I'm ten miles outside the city
I am in a rural area


And I'm lifted away
I am transported by the beauty of my surroundings


In an ancient light
In a timeless and mystical glow


That is not of day
That is otherworldly and beyond daylight


They were calm they were blunt
They were collected and straightforward


We knew them all too well
We were familiar with their personalities and ways


We loved each other more than
We had a deep mutual affection


we ever dared to tell
But we never fully expressed it
