Fire in the Mountain Songtext
von Long Distance Calling

And growing childish in old age
He begs the dream, "Please"
To persuade the guard to change his mind and allow him to enter
His sight has dimmed, but in the darkness he perceives a radiance
Streaming immortally from the door of the law


And now, before he dies
All he′s experienced condenses into one question, a question he's never asked
He beckons to the guard
Says the guard, "You are insatiable, what is it now?"
Says the man, "Every man strives to attain the law
How is it then that in all these years, no one else has ever come here, seeking admittance?"

His hearing has failed, so the guard yells into his ear
"No one else but you could ever have obtained admittance
No one else could enter this door
This door was intended only for you"
