Lyrics: Quiet as a fallen pine Living with a troubled mind With answers that I cannot find Quiet as a fallen pine Breathless from a panoramic view From a little clearing on the hill, Mountains tower in majesty, brilliance of the winter sun, Skies of the sweetest blue, patches of the whitest snow (and) eerie stillness permeates the air We take it in and carry on Journey with my brother at my side Passing by another tree leveled to the ground Suppressing curiosity, out of mind and out of sight Quiet as a fallen pine Living with a troubled mind With answers that I cannot find Though the golden sun may shine, a thunderstorm grows inside But quiet as a fallen pine Day is done, we sit by fireside Sugary smores serve as our reward Setting up tomorrow’s plans beneath a peaceful sky Unaware this night was far from done A single roar and we're undone As Uinta Mountains shake With shaking hands and frightened hearts, we silently count to 3 Turning ‘round, our eyes behold the beast Stretching high upward to the stars Dark fur hiding terrors and mysteries Its human face steals our breath, we’re melting from its glare It shrieks again and mountains shake, then rushes through the trees And eerie stillness permeates the air Quiet as a fallen pine Living with a troubled mind With answers that I cannot find Though the golden sun may shine, a thunderstorm grows inside, but quiet as a fallen pine.
