Analysis of The Unconquerable Hill
Nobody sees the darkened future 'till
they see the war torn past
And no one time is meant to last
We climb this unconquerable hill.
There at the summit you've see the light
This rock we push, the things we've done,
Yet can we not just drop this weight
Simply walk up towards such massive height?
No! we push at the heavy stone
which we believe is all we'll ever need
much easier it would be indeed
To reach heav'n if we left mortal things alone.
