  • It's cold on the mountain
    Its cold in the wood
    My life is a fountain
    It's all in my blood

    I go down to the river
    I'll never sleep till I'm gone
    Its cold on the mountain
    I could not leave you alone

    I am a messenger
    This is my prophecy
    I'm goin' back
    To the Black Country

    I speak for the million
    From city to shire
    We come from the heartland
    We walk through the fire

    We rise to the measure
    The line in the sand
    Its cold on the mountain
    And this is our land

    I am a messenger
    This is my prophecy
    I'm goin' back
