The Strange High House in the Mist

from The False Hollow Phantoms of Beauty by Mutiny in Jonestown

/

lyrics

As an empty page it stands before me
Lost and never lost and once so lonely
Ghost Town...in the distance Fog Bound

Lost within the mist your daemons hide and twist alone

Climb the ancient mountainside at night
Watch as shadows gather in the half light
Desecrate the altar with their Acolyte...their Acolyte

I’ve read that hoary manuscript
I’ve seen forbidden festival
But none prepared me for the sight
of locking horns with death at night.

The mist surrounded crumbling house
held court for we had crossed too far
in mortal knowledge : mortal time
I curse the day I started on this climb.

about

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987.
