Great Loss

The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss

Of hope to get across

You build your castle within these walls

With bars instead of doors

Looking back on the years

On all the friends that I've lost to drugs

But I won't preach nor insist

That I'm better than the one's I've lost

It must be hard to resist

When you can escape the pain and strife

Not to dive in to the mist

And forget about the pain for a while

The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss

And I wake up with a grin

To find my soul overthrown by a djinn

Although you left me for him

I miss the touch and the scent of your skin

I lost the love of my life

To some guy, don't even know his name

He want's to make her his wife

If I kill him I will lose all the same

You build your castle within these walls

The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss

But what I miss most of all

Is this old geezer friend of mine

His business started to fall

And eventually he lost his mind

He disconnected the phone

To get rid of all disturbing sounds

And cut his wrist to the bone

And made sure that he would not be found

The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss

You build your castle within these walls

The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss

You build your castle within these walls
