The fall of Kadanzer Mountain Text & Music: Sibylle Machat, 2002 Notes: Capo to second fret Sibylle says: composed by Andrian shortly after seeing the smoking volcano that used to be his home. Big on minor chords, rather slow and sad - he liked the icy cold rock climate home … . The Chorus is rather angry in tone, and the "hook line" of the song the "people died in their sleep", more than any bit of the chorus. ____ ____ ___ ___ __ __ __ _ _ _ __ __ __ ___ ___ ____ ____ Chorus: (am) An awful glow fills the sky at night (em) Fire, fire, and it burns so bright (am) Fire straight from the (dm) Earth, (em) Fire that to fire gives (am) birth. (C) My home once was where (am) now (G) That awful, stinking (am) fire shines (C) A place of snow and (am) cold it was (G) A mountain in the Barrier (am) Range. Then one day the Earth shook First a little, then some more, And then another day again, (G) And people (em) died in their (am)sleep. Chours The mountain I called home Was Kadanzer Weyr A volcano we all thought Long dormant and cold. The mountain I called home Had glittering stones in the wall And a caldera wide and tall And people died in their sleep. Chorus The mountain I called home Now spews fire day and night In that glow you can see Shining in the southern sky. The volcano we all called home Woke up from its long sleep And growled, and warned us And people died in their sleep. Chorus The place we now call home Is Kadanzer Weyr-by-the-sea Where the beaches are wide And the redfruit trees grow tall. The place we all called home Is cooling stone in the snow Solid rock where people did dwell And silence where dragons Ruled the sky. (C) But now, (am) no-one dies in their (G) sleep. Chorus (slow) But now, no-one dies in their sleep. (am) to FADE
