I am a mountain
And I’ll plant an orchard at my feet
At our feet
Drink from the fountain
And there’ll be no thing that you could need
Oh you’ll see
Watch me build it, watch me plant this seed
Mmm
I’ll build this nursery
And it will sustain you every day in every way
And one day you’ll tend it
And you’ll turn the soil with your hand
As the family man
Come and feel the roots become your feet
Mmm
The dynasty, the dynasty
Make the crown of the dynasty
The dynasty, the dynasty
Wear the crown of the dynasty
I am a dreamer
The city glitters in my mind
But it’s left behind
For this soil raised me
So I will bury memories of my ivories
I’ll pay my debt and now I’ll turn the dirt
To prove my worth
The dynasty, the dynasty
Take the crown of the dynasty, the dynasty
The ache, the crown of the dynasty
The dynasty, the dynasty
Fake the crown of the dynasty
I am the only son
And I’ll count the seconds as they fly
Or trickle by
And I am the lonely one
And this dirt has cracked and withered dry
And so have I
I’ve lost a half a decade to this dirt,
Oh I’ve poured all of my joy onto this dirt,
Oh I’ve given up my family to this dirt,
But I’ll break the curse
The dynasty, the dynasty,
Take the crown of the dynasty, the dynasty
The ache, the weight of the dynasty,
The dynasty, shake the chain of the dynasty
The dynasty, the dynasty
Shake the crown of the dynasty
The dynasty, break the crown of the dynasty
The dynasty, shake the chain of the dynasty
The dynasty, break the crown of the dynasty
The dynasty, break down the dynasty
