lyrics

If I were the sun,
I would look out at the Earth and all
the other satellites that gravitate
in my direction,
and then I'd fill the void of darkness
with a piercing beam of light
and look out at the highest mountaintops
and I would sing:

"Oh, Olympus Mons,
you are the tallest mountain anywhere,
you command the very face of
the world you sit upon.
Great Olympus Mons,
there is nothing to wear you down,
no tectonic plates, no atmosphere,
no rivers to be found,
yet you are dust,
and to dust you shall return."

God, he became dirt so
he could show us where to put our feet
as they tread for a short while upon
the crust of the earth,
and the tallest man alive,
his stature someday soon shall be cut down
and the penitent man remembers
as he looks to his feet
that we are his
and to him we shall return.

Oh, Olympus Mons
you are the tallest mountain anywhere
you command the very face of
the world you sit upon.
