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 I’ve lost to drugs But I won’t preach nor insist That I’m better than the one’s I’ve 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, don’t even know his name He want’s 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
