about

"Misty Mountains" is the second single by San Francisco’s Older Sun, from the band's forthcoming album DAWN OF DARKNESS. This adventurous saga tells the tale of a rider on horseback cloaked in red making the treacherous crossing of the forbidden Misty Mountains. She has ridden through the night seeking revenge on the men who destroyed her home – and no one will be safe until she is avenged! Bear witness to the sound of a Rainbow rising through the mist of the great Mountain as a UFO streaks across a Deep Purple sky. You don’t stand a chance!

lyrics

MISTY MOUNTAINS
Lyrics: Kelsey Guntharp

• • •

From across the Misty Mountains
She came riding cloaked in red
And her hair was made of fire
At least that's what they said
And the men they came to see her
And she brought them to their knees
By death or loves conception
Misfortunes all he sees

And she never stays, riding night and day
On a smoke colored mare from the mountains
And she'll crush your heart, tear you apart
She's the witch from the Misty Mountains

Oh oh Misty Mountains
Oh oh Misty Mountains
Oh oh Misty Mountains
She'll crush your heart
Oh oh Misty Mountains

Beware the curse of the Misty Mountains
She's a spirit of another land
She will have you in submission
With one touch of her hand
She rides the night in revenge
Of the men who destroyed her home
And no one will be safe
Until she is avenged

And she never stays, riding night and day
On a smoke colored mare from the mountains
And she'll crush your heart, tear you apart
Beware the witch from the Misty Mountains

Oh oh Misty Mountains
Oh oh Misty Mountains
Oh oh Misty Mountains
She's a witch, she's a witch
Oh Misty Mountains
You don't stand a chance

When Misty rides
She'll blow your mind
When Misty rides
You feel the devil inside
When Misty rides
She feels alive
When Misty rides
Feel her power rise

And she never stays, riding night and day
And she'll crush your heart, tear you apart
She'll have you beggin’ please, bring you to your knees

Oh oh Misty Mountains
She's a witch, she's a witch
Oh oh Misty Mountains
Watch out watch out watch out
Oh oh Misty Mountains
She's coming for you
Oh oh Misty Mountains

Beware the curse of the Misty Mountains

This music makes life worth living! Hooked from the very first listen, this is profound stuff to be enjoyed for many years to come, especially on the forest roads of remote Pennsylvania. What a debut?! I love this record. William Yurkiewicz
