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 Ive lost to drugs

But I wont preach nor insist

That Im better than the ones Ive 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, dont even know his name

He wants 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
