Of all the things
under the sun,
Only the mountains
remember the beginning...
And all the deeds done
by both man and beast
will be remembered
only by the mountains,
the others having forgotten...
And, in the end,
when the Creator comes
to finally finish
what He long ago began,
seeking a truthful account
of all the deeds done
by all the beings
upon the whole Earth,
He will consult not
the writings of men,
He will ask the mountains...
The cold mountains forever
covered by pure, white snow...
The angry mountains that
spew forth ash and fire...
The mountains hidden deep
under the oceans and seas...
He will ask only them
and they will give Him
a full, truthful account
of all the deeds done
by all the beings
upon the whole Earth,
because, in the end,
only the mountains
will remember them...
