Appalachian Winter - Pennsylvanian Fire lyrics

Colossal things rose in my mountains; Born of rocks and men They found within themselves a thirst for fire So followed many lands to take of my mountains As monstrous works changed my land forever It was my land first Where fire was found; The essence of life long since gone The souls of a forgotten time Were torn from the Earth And made to live again As fire in the heart of a new age It was my land first Where cold eyes fell upon the mountains And monsters rose among them -Nailed to the land- To take of the mountains While others were carved away And left to rot by monstrous men It was my land first . .
