mountain
Theocracy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm searching to find what's beyond each horizon
to the end of one world and on to a new one
always chasing golden sunsets
I'm struggling out of the depths of the valley
and my weary legs have failed me once again
so I give my broken soul to you

And in my weakness is Your strength realized
Consume me in the fire of Your glory once again
and help me rise

Rise, taking flight
To the zenith of life
Rise to the top of the mountain with You
The world disappears
Into the valley below me
As I'm lost in the glory of You

Step by step the climb gets harder
my being weakens as I struggle farther and farther
flesh is weakness, darkness, sickness
my dreams are shattered, my ambitions crumbled
my will defeated, my spirit humbled once more
I am hopeless, helpless without you

And I must decrease so that You may increase
and when I find you're all I have
I found you're all I need to help me rise

Rise, taking flight
To the zenith of life
Rise to the top of the mountain with You
The world disappears
Into the valley below me
As I'm lost in the glory of You

I cannot fight this battle on my own
Have mercy
I'm fallen weakness clothed in flesh and bone
consume me
I stand in awe of who you are
and what I feel I cannot explain
forged in the flame, broken again

Take me to the places I can't go
Transcending
I'm sick of living in the status quo
New Beginning
And when it seems I've given up
On eagle' wings you life me up again




and this time I know, in the end
...You carried me

Overall Meaning

The song "Mountain" by Theocracy is an evocative and powerful exploration of faith, strength, and perseverance. The opening lines describe the singer's constant search for new horizons, always seeking the next adventure and new experiences. However, even as he chases these dreams, he finds himself struggling in the depths of the valley, overwhelmed by his weariness and weakness. In these desperate moments, he turns to his faith and offers his broken soul to a higher power.


The chorus of the song is a call to rise, to soar to the top of the mountain with this higher power. The climb is hard and the singer's weakness threatens to hold him back, but he finds strength in surrendering himself to something greater. As he ascends, the world below him fades away, and he is lost in the glory of his faith.


The second verse is a meditation on the singer's struggles and failures. He admits to feeling hopelessness and helplessness without the support of a higher power. He recognizes that he must decrease so that this power may increase within him. And yet, despite his failures, he finds hope in the knowledge that he is never alone. This hope carries him forward as he continues to climb the mountain.
