Hive Open Mic #Semana 169: Fire on the Mountain//Cover By utymarvel//

Top of the day guys, welcome to Hive Open Mic Week 169. It's a great pleasure to be part of this project this week

This Week we Explore the Theme War, all thanks to our Recent spotlight artist @jasperdick for this exceptional theme. This Week I bring you Fire on the Mountain by Queen ASA.

Fire on the Mountain analyzes the kind of society we are living in today. In 2007 Asa explains in this song what society is turning into. Corruption Bribery, killings, and all sorts of mundane habits. The society is at War. We are killing ourselves, and funnily we care less about these sad events.

We are too self-conscious and every wrong is happening, terrorist attacks everywhere, nations at war with Other Nations, rape Cultures, Himsn Trafficking, everywhere is just Sick.

We see all these events and no one is doing anything about it, and even when the minority or the poor people want to talk and fight for themselves, they are locked up or Killed in the Process.

I remember in The year 2021, my Country Nigeria was in a serious war with itself. It's the security Agencies fighting against the citizens they are supposed to be protecting. When the Masses stood up to protest it was a Massacre. Just yesterday, an apartment that was robbed three Months ago with about 21 occupants, all with their phones, gadgets and money, we're robbed again and their properties were taken again.

One tried reaching out to the cops but to no avail, and nothing has been done to recover their properties for them. The community couldn't even raise an alarm to rescue them.

I love this Piece and it has a lot of Messages in it, I hope we see this soon and find help.
By the way, I love the whole setting of the song.

There is indeed Fire On the Mountain.

Lyrics

Mmm
Worry, oh, oh
Mmm-mm
There is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop

And no one is a-runnin'
I wake up in the mornin'
Tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child
And everybody's watching

Now I'm looking out my window
And what do I see?
I see an army of a soldier man
Marching across the street, yeah
Hey, Mr. Soldier man
Tomorrow is the day you go to war
But you are fighting for another man's cause
And you don't even know him

Oooh!
What did he say to make you so blind
To your conscience and reason?
Could it be love for your country?
Or for the gun you use in killing?
So... there is fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop
And no one is a-runnin'

Hey, Mr. Lover man
Can I get a chance to talk to you?
'Cause you are fooling with a dead man's corpse
And you don't know what you do
So you say you have a lover
And you love her like no other
So you buy her a diamond that someone has died on
Don't you think there is something wrong with this?

Tell me!
Who's responsible for what we teach our children?
Is it the Internet or the stars on television?
Why? Oh why? Why? Oh, Why? Oh!

So little Lucy turns 16
And like the movie, she's been seen
She has a lover in her daddy
She can't tell nobody 'til she makes the evening news

For there is fire on the mountain
And there is nobody seems to be on the run
Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop
And no one is a-runnin', oh yes

One day the river will overflow
And there'll be nowhere for us to go
And we will run, run
Wishing we had put out the fire, oh

For there is fire on the mountain, yeah, yeah
And there ain't nobody seems to be on the run
Nobody, nobody, oh!
Oh, there is fire on the mountaintop
And no one is a-runnin', so, yeah, yeah, yeah

There is fire on the mountain (fire in Africa, oh)
Nobody seems to be on the run
(Fire everywhere, everywhere in the sea, yeah!)
Fire on the mountaintop (fire in the ocean, la-da!)
No one is a-runnin'
Fire on the mountain (fire, fire, fire, yeah)
Nobody seems to be on the run (nobody)
