IT DID NOT,

THEN.

I'VE A FORTUNE

HERE IN ME POCKET.

THERE'S ENOUGH

HERE FOR ALL OF US.

DIAMONDS ARE NOT MUCH USE

WHEN YOU'RE TRAPPED

BEHIND SOLID ROCK.

I DON'T WANT TO DEPRESS

YOU ANY FURTHER,

BUT I THINK THERE'S

GOING TO BE AN ERUPTION.

THAT FALL OF:

ROCK, YOU KNOW?

VOLCANOES ARE:

NERVOUS THINGS,

IT TAKES VERY LITTLE

TO UPSET THEM.

[Explosions]

IF IT WASN'T FOR ME,

YOU'D BE QUIETLY SHOOTING

GAME IN THE SOUTH.

AND THEN YOU'D

HAVE GONE HOME:

AND MARRIED SOME NICE GIRL

AND LIVED IN YOUR BIG HOUSE.

AND SLOWLY GROWN

OLD AND FAT AND:

DISAGREEABLE,

AND ENDED UP A FEEBLE

OLD MAN WITH NO ONE

SORRY TO SEE YOU GO.

NO, I'D RATHER

DIE YOUNG.

STRANGE, I USED

TO HATE DYING.

I'D LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT

THINKING ABOUT IT, SCARED.

BUT WHEN YOU COME TO IT,

IT'S NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL.

[Rumbling]

[Explosions]

THERE'S ONLY

ONE THING I'M

SORRY ABOUT.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE

SEEN IRELAND AGAIN,

THE GLEN OF ARMAGH

WHERE I WAS BORN,

WITH THE MOUNTAINS

RUNNING DOWN:

TO THE LAKES.

WE WERE TO HAVE:

GONE HOME NEXT YEAR.

YOU COULD HAVE:

COME WITH US.

[Umbopa]

QUARTERMAIN!

[Echoing]

QUARTERMAIN!

[Echoing]

QUARTERMAIN!

LOOK!

IT'S MOVING!

GOOD IDEA BUT--

IT--IT'S BOUND

TO FALL ON US.

UMBOPA?

[Umbopa]

CURTIS, WE MUST

PUSH IT CLEAR.

READY?

RIGHT.

[Umbopa]

READY?

THIS TIME.

IT'S GONNA ERUPT!

STEADY.

GOT HIM?

[Rumbling]

COME ON!

HERE MY COUNTRY ENDS,

BUT 100 OF MY MEN

WILL LEAD YOU:

ACROSS THE DESERT.

GO NOW, MY FRIENDS,

AND AT TIMES, REMEMBER HOW

WE STOOD SHOULDER TO

SHOULDER IN THE GREAT BATTLE.

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

TILL I'M HOLDING THE

CLOUDS IN MY HANDS

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

TILL THE WORLD IS BELOW

WHERE I STAND:

CLIMBING UP:

TO THE LAND:

THAT I KNOW:

MUST LIE OVER THAT MOUNTAIN

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

FOR MY HEART IS AWAY

IN THAT LAND:

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

OH YOU MOUNTAIN:

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:
