Текст песни Long Distance Calling - Fire in the Mountain
Fire In The Mountain Lyrics- Excerpt from the opening scene ("Before the law") of "The Trial" by Orson Welles, based on the novel by Franz Kafka -
The man growing childish in old age
He begs the very fleas
To persuade the guard to change his mind and allow him to enter
His sight has dimmed
But in the darkness he perceives a radiance
Streaming immortally from the door of the Law
And now, before he dies
All he's experienced condenses into one question, a question he's never asked
He beckons to the guard
Says the guard, "You are insatiable! What is it now?"
Says the man, "Every man strives to attain the Law
How is it then that in all these years, no one else has ever come here, seeking admittance?"
His hearing has failed, so the guard yells into his ear
"No one else but you could ever have obtained admittance!
No one else could enter this door! This door was intended only for you!
