Kalijah - The Beam Lyrics

I've been speaking in strange foreign tongues
I've been staying up all night
If I can't find a way to stay young
Then I'll keep doing what feels right

If I can't find my way around it
If I am destined for this hell
Then I'm going into business
Make some money, might as well

So I've been making sacrifices
In the forest every night
I have seen the f*cking mountain
In the morning - in the light

I have staked my life upon it
Watched the sun set from both sides
I have chased the beast into
The painted forest where it hides

And when I find that feathered serpent
Be it day or dead of night
I'm gonna shine my light upon it
Like it's never been so bright

And when illuminated
By the moonlight, by the beam
I'm gonna finally find out
If these things are how they seem

I'm gonna shake the cage I'm building
Steal the stars that dare to shine
String them up across the ceilings
Of the tunnels in this mine

This mine of mine where I will mine
This mountain for it's veins
It's like these lines are in my mind
But I will mine them just the same

And I've been making sacrifices
In the forest every night
I have seen the f*cking mountain
In the morning - in the light

I have staked my life upon it
Watched the sun set from both sides
I have chased the beast into
The painted forest where it hides

And when I find that feathered serpent
Be it day or dead of night
I'm gonna shine my light upon it
Like it's never been so bright

And when illuminated
By the moonlight, by the beam
I'm gonna finally find out
If these things are how they seem
