Story behind the song
Written after reading David Yallop's "In God's Name". Did Pope John Paul I die peacefully in his sleep or was there something more sinister?
Lyrics
Man of the mountains look what you've done, You stood in the footsteps of a carpenter's son, But, man of the mountains,was it really God's will When they lowered you somewhere so far from the hills? They said that you came without warning They say that you left with no trace But the papers that morning were filled with the face Of the man from the mountains with the curious smile. For the keys of the kingdom were yours for a while, But if just half the stories I hear about you should turn out to be true Somewhere some explanation must surely be due For they say if you follow the money and they say if you trace the amounts One road leads to Geneva and straight to a numbered account, But, man of the mountains, did you see where it led? Did you pay with your life as you lay in your bed? Or was it natural causes, like a flower that dies in the night? One that suddenly closes while it's striving to lean to the light? Man of the mountains, look what you've done You stood in the footsteps of a carpenter's son.
