High Upon The Hill

Written and recorded in 2022, reworked in 2026. LYRICS: So high up on this hill It is so hard to keep still The rescue ship has set to sea But I don't think it saw me I am drunk on sterile air And perhaps I just don't care This water's getting me all numb Can't shake the feeling that it tastes like rum Delusions, all is green But I don't think I can scream Where is my shade? I think it's gone Perhaps it followed you 'cause you were the one Can you see it over there? I can't find it anywhere Can you follow me down? I might fall on my dagger I can't really walk but I think I can stagger The gold that was promised is too heavy to wear The convent caught fire and blew up in the air Can you get me down? Can you get me down? Down from the sky where the air is so thin. Down to a place where my head doesn't spin. Can you? Can you get me down? Can you get me down? The monster's now asleep He really is a creep I'll try to say goodbye (goodbye) But then I might die (might die) Can you help me out of here? It's been too many years Where is my shade? I think it's gone It probably followed you 'cause you were the one The gold that was promised is too heavy to wear The convent caught fire and blew up in the air Can you get me down? Can you get me down? Down from the sky where the air is so thin. Down to a place where my head doesn't spin. Can you? Can you get me down? Can you get me down? ©Hakon Sveinsson, 2022
