Tai Shan Lyrics - Hold Your Fire - Rush

High on the sacred mountain 

Up the seven thousand stairs 

In the golden light of autumn 

There was magic in the air 

Clouds surrounded the summit 

The wind blew strong and cold 

Among the silent temples 

And the writings carved in gold 

Somewhere in my instincts 

The primitive took hold 

I stood at the top of the mountain 

And China sang to me 

In the peaceful haze of harvest time 

A song of eternity

If you raise your hands to heaven 

You will live a hundred years 

I stood there like a mystic 

Lost in the atmosphere 

The clouds were suddenly parted 

For a moment I could see 

The patterns of the landscape 

Reaching to the eastern sea 

I looked upon a presence 

Spanning forty centuries 

I stood at the top of the mountain 

And China sang to me 

In the peaceful haze of harvest time 

A song of eternity

I thought of time and distance 

The hardships of history 

I heard the hope and the hunger 

When China sang to me 

When China sang to me
