Kiss - King Of The Mountain Lyrics






Come on
I'm gonna climb the mountain
I'm gonna hit the top
I wanna go where nobody's ever been
I'm never gonna stop
I'm gonna reign, I'm gonna shine
I'm gonna beat the ground
I'm gonna shoot through the night like a shot gun
I'm gonna get on down, I wanna get on down

I'm the king of the mountain, I'm the king of the mountain

Listen, don't try to save my soul from destruction
I'm never gonna fall
Don't try to give me a piece of the action
I'm gonna take it all
All the kings horses, all the kings men
We're gettin' crazy again and again
Make up your mind, it's time we get goin'
We're gonna get on down, we're gonna get on down

I'm the king of the mountain, I'm the king of the mountain
I'm the king of the mountain, I'm the king of the mountain
Yeah, now
Oh, yeah, king of the mountain
Say it, king of the mountain
I'm the king of the mountain, I'm the king of the mountain, yeah
I'm the king of the mountain
And the winner takes it all, let's go, let's go, let's go

Kiss King Of The Mountain Comments
  1. G.... C....

    Horrible singing
    Average drumming
    Terrible melody
    Kiss trying to be virtuosos was a failure
    I prefer Larger than life with all the musical feeling required

  2. R.... R....

    Bass drums lost in the mix

  3. p.... ....

    adiaba cuando se vestian glam pero su musica me gusta

  4. R.... D....

    This song should’ve been playing when we were raiding area 51

  5. T.... S....

    Far fucking out!

  6. k.... t....

    This album is so much better than Revenge or Carnival of souls. Best of the non makeup years!

  7. N.... N....

    AWESOME song ❤💖💗💙💝💚💜🧡💔💛💘

  8. D.... B....

    To be honest, I like this era of Kiss the best. This is probably my favourite Kiss song.

  9. I.... Z....

    "SHIT ALBUM" SAID GENE SIMMONS

  10. s.... ....

    Bruce really shreds on this song.

  11. D.... A....

    RIP Eric Carr - when Creatures Came out I fell in love with KISS again... Love every album hes on ….

  12. S.... J....

    Yeah Eric was better than Peter Criss and Bruce was better than Vinnie
    This was a great line up overall , strong tours as well because Bruce and Eric weren't all fucked all the time

  13. j.... ....

    i love it that it was Eric Carr that started the first track on the album

  14. j.... ....

    My first kiss album on cassette and still one of my faves

  15. C.... ....

    Still Loving 2019

  16. G.... M....

    I Love Eric Carr R.I.P Best Drummer Of Kiss

  17. M.... S....

    If Kiss didn't have Carr back in the 80's...They would have sucked. Bottom line

  18. S.... H....

    I bought this recently with the feeling it was gonna be one of those albums a lot of KISS fans would call 'underated' I actually quite like it more than most of the stuff the band put out in the 80s/90's.

  19. B.... Z....

    Sounds like the beginning of painkiller LOL

  20. j.... ....

    Does anyone know what year this came out...because I remember it was my first Compact Disc I ever bought--anything before was cassettes.

  21. A.... M....

    Eric Carr. The greatest drummer ever.

  22. h.... ....

    Best one from the 80s for kiss

  23. S.... A....

    Tão Bom E Surpreendente Quanto ''Lick It Up'' E ''Animalize''.
    As Pessoas Criticam(Injustamente)Esse Álbum Sem Ao Menos Ouvi-lo Direito...
    Pra Falar A Verdade , Com Excessão Do ''Unmasked'' E Do ''Crazy Nights'' Tudo Feito Pela Banda Na Década De 80 Foi Bom.
    Principalmente ''The Elder''(Music From)E ''Creatures Of The Night''.

    S.... A....

    Sou Aquele Que Tudo Vê Então Tome Cuidado Unmasked foi bom tambem..

  24. s.... ....

    His name is Eric Carr, and he's incredible

    s.... ....

    smokeslet'sgo, You Just Made My Day!

  25. p.... k....

    Good album, good line up, nicely produced, Stanley’s voice is in top form.

  26. c.... l....

    La potencia de este kiss con ERIC Y BRUCE nunca volvio aguante este KISS

  27. n.... ....

    Is it my perception only that this song is about Jerusalem having in mind that 3 out of 4 members back then were Jewish?

  28. D.... H....

    not a shotgun not a gun no weapons........

  29. m.... 4....

    Come on
    I'm going to climb the mountain
    I'm going to hit the top
    I want to go where nobody's ever been
    I'm never going stop
    I'm going to reign, I'm going to shine
    I'm going to beat the ground
    I'm going to shoot through the night like a shot gun
    I'm going to get on down, I want to get on down
    I'm the king of the mountain, I'm the king of the mountain
    Listen, don't try to save my soul from destruction
    I'm never going to fall
    Don't try to give me a piece of the action
    I'm going to take it all
    All the kings horses, all the kings men
    We're getting crazy again and again
    Make up your mind, it's time we get going
    We're going to get on down, we're going get on down


    I'm the king of the mountain, I'm the king of the mountain
    Yeah, now
    Oh, yeah, king of the mountain
    Say it, king of the mountain
    I'm the king of the mountain, I'm the king of the mountain, yeah
    I'm the king of the mountain
    And the winner takes it all, let's go, let's go, let's go

    C.... C....

    "virtuosity" xd calm down pal

    C.... C....

    Those people can suck both our d**ks at the same time.

    C.... C....

    Eric was musician ship , mark St john., Bruce , Vinnie ..even Ace in his hey day .
    But not so much Paul and Gene .
    But good song writer and singer in certain stuff

    That said , not really at the level of European metal bands ;) until ..well
    When Eric carr came out .

  40. O.... v....

    Miss this line up they were so tight

  41. M.... S....

    Eric was made to play this song!

    M.... S....

    he born to play that!!

  42. J.... R....

    The drums remember manowar! Eric Carr rules!

  43. D.... J....

  50. I.... B....

    Rest In Peace Eric Carr #FuckCancer

  51. I.... k....

    garbage start to garbage album

  52. A.... V....

    31 de nayo 1997... cumplía 19... Y era mi himno...

  53. J.... M....

    Paul Stanly:
    Les t GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  54. J.... M....

    Amazing

  55. a.... j....

    the best

  56. M.... ....

    "...don't really like brown clowns..."

    M.... ....

    Hey... fucked yo' mama in the rain, and the baby came out eatin' Gravy Train!!!

  57. M.... M....

    i love drum solos, there are not enough drumsolos. Great song btw.

  58. G.... C....

    the arrogance attidude paul stanley. has freakin power; even this band is not so brilliant but succesfull

    G.... C....

    learn english, dumbass.

  59. O.... L....

    Bruce Kulick really had something to prove after replacing Mark St. John who replaced Vinnie Vincent who replaced Ace Frehley. I always thought the guitar solo on this first song of the album had to be on the top of his leves. And it is. I could listen to the solo over and over again. Brilliant, Bruce!

    O.... L....

    my favorite KISS lineup... Eric C., Bruce, Gene, & Paul

    O.... L....

    One of his best solos.

    O.... L....

    This song is great 👍

  60. m.... j....

    any think gene came up with the bass parts on his own ?

    m.... j....

    ...seems insanely unlikely...

  61. j.... ....

    In his prime Paul Stanley was an incredible singer. The power and range is just crazy.

    j.... ....

    James Harding 100%... I just personally think kiss should’ve dropped it after sonic boom and did one big world wide meet and greet or mtv unplugged type thing...It’s just sad to see his voice gone unlike the lead singer of Iron Maiden Bruce Dickinson who sang high notes in most of his songs over the years and also had throat cancer and still sounds flawless to this day...no hate on kiss tho they are still the greatest band in the world🤘

    j.... ....

    For me the best voice in rock, luv this song wish they did it more live

    j.... ....

    @Josh Stern Yeah he had operation on it but didn't do much,having said that saw them in July and my god the show was the most spectacular rock show I've ever seen, they put everything into it.Here's a fact you might not know Tommy Thayer played on the original Psycho Circus even though Ace is in the video.

  62. l.... m....

    bem lgl essa musica

  63. K.... C....

    I love you

  64. h.... ....

    The first time I played this vinyl record was Christmas eve 1985. Got this album, Saxons latest and the then New Live after Death by Maiden.

    h.... ....

    Saxon!! I thought I was the only one that remembered that band!! LOL

    h.... ....

    @C K No they are still out there touring and stuff

  65. J.... B....

    Kulick's killer guitar solo babee.. awesomee song

  66. G.... ....

    Unbelievable album the guitar work is top notch not many people could dream of playing guitar like this.

  67. R.... ....

    I love 70's KISS but MAN they were on some other shit when the 80's came around. I fucking LOVE this song!

  68. C.... ....

    I love this album!!

  69. T.... ....

    THE BEST LINE-UP EVER!

    T.... ....

    correct!

  70. J.... R....

    Eric Carr was MUCH better than Peter Criss.

    Sorry.

    J.... R....

    dont be sorry its true

    J.... R....

    Yer FUCKIN spun out on dope ,no disrespect to e.c but Peter criscola was way better

    J.... R....

    Black Diamond NUFF said guess you think Bruce kulick was better than ace? S.t.f.u yer a fucking idiot

    J.... R....

    @StreetBass71 it's his opinion so respect it and YES- Eric was BETTER! Imagine what Peter was doing at this time in 1985 while Kiss was still kicking ass. He was nowhere to be found. His solo career sucked

    J.... R....

    Don’t be sorry, it’s true

  71. q.... ....

    the drums on this album was killer

    q.... ....

    quit293 Eric was one of the best drummers.

  72. J.... C....

    Not my favorite record from Kiss in the 80's but there are some strong tracks here. I really wish the drums were louder in the mix. I feel like once again Eric Carr was not featured as much as he should have been. Oh well, it was the 80's and Kiss was doing the best they could at the time.

    J.... C....

    Put it on your home stereo, the drums are brutal!!

    J.... C....

    Exactly! With a proper sound equipment, this album sounds massive

    J.... C....

    I just recently purchased the remastered cd..Wow incredible sound especially the drums are killer and the guitar solos are maybe the best on any Kiss album

  73. d.... ....

    Geweldig nummer.

    d.... ....

    Echt alles is hier goed. Drums, gitaar bass, en zang, topschijf!

  74. T.... ....

    YEAH - love it! Reminds me of my youth-time........ 

  75. D.... L....

    Why does the bloke with the speech impediment have to ruin every song?

  76. A.... T....

    This record embodies that '80s sound. It stands with any '80s band's album out there. This was the era of musicianship for KISS. No disrespect to the original members, as I love original KISS, but this was when they were focused on being a band and not a brand. Carr's slamming drumming and Kulick's guitar playing put them where they needed to be in this era. Bruce was just technical and flashy enough to be a big cut above Ace (technically speaking) but not an over-the-top wanker vomiting notes everywhere for the hell of it. His solos are well chosen.

    A.... T....

    +Adam Taylor great era...forever KISS

    A.... T....

    Amen Brother.

    A.... T....

    Bruce was a fucking great player. Overlooked because he wasn't as bombastic as the other shredders. I like him and Jake E Lee the most from this particular era of rock music

  77. *.... E....

    Perfect 80s song. This was KISS!

  78. K.... I....

    last kiss album. after this they are bon jovies paridy

    K.... I....

    BON JOVI WERE JEALOUS OF THEIR SUCCESS.

  79. G.... ....

    I'm tired of the 70's stuff they should play the 80's stuff like this however they can skip 95% of Hot in the Shade

    G.... ....

    Yeah I saw them in the summer with Def Leppard. I have to be realistic though I doubt Paul can handle most of the 80's stuff.I love Under the Gun but I don't think that's gonna happen.

    G.... ....

    @GrayWoIf WHEN THEY WILL BE 70 YEARS ,THEY LL PLAY SONGS OF THE 80s

    G.... ....

    GrayWoIf hot n shade sucked the worst eric carr bruce kulick era album

    G.... ....

    Hot n shade and Crazy Nights is too much Bon Jovi, i dont like it either, the only remarkable song is Forever

  80. A.... C....

    I don't like the production on this album. Is echoey

    A.... C....

    1980s was a lot like this. Explore and you'll see and hear.

    A.... C....

    @Electricland is here
    Gated snare galore.

    A.... C....

    OK dude

  81. C.... ....

    love this album,m but this album cover was lame O    lol

  82. s.... ....

    The weird part is how Bruce and Eric's lips match the colors of Ace and Peter's solo albums. 

    s.... ....

    That was KISS' thing with the album; Paul has the purple color from his, Gene has the red color from his, Bruce has the blue from Ace's, and Eric has the green from Peter's. Since Ace and Peter weren't in the band at this point in KISStory, I'm guessing they went with that gimmick for Bruce and Eric...

    s.... ....

    @skoolbus They always looked in a way or other for continuity. In the Asylum tour it was said, at least in some mexican magazines that a new Alive III was in the works and after it 4 new solo albums, never confirmed that version on other magazines

    s.... ....

    +EDDGC What I meant by weird was how in mags (here at least) they'd put forth the notion that this was the new KISS, forget the past. Next album had the Hotter Than Hell Japanese symbol, so it was hard to swallow.

    s.... ....

    skoolbus nice observation..

  83. E.... S....

    Bad-ass opening from the one and only Eric Carr

  84. j.... ....

    im on the mountain   next

    j.... ....

    @jsbach11 Next, I guess it's time to consider which way you're gonna slice it, so that you won't end up being lonely, then have yourself a trial by fire while you're alive.

    j.... ....

    @Tyler Glynn After that, it seems he found out that Love's a Deadly Weapon, and, oh no, Tears Are Falling, because his love was Secretly Cruel; after that, he fell under the Radar for Love, but then found someone he could Uh! All Night with...

    j.... ....

    @Darren Plateroti And on through 2 years he had some Crazy Night. He realized that he would fight hell to hold the one he Uh! all night with. And he would Bang and Bang her until she said No No No more. Then as she left him, he said come hell of high water, I will love you. So then he went off and did things his way. But when the walls came down, he realized that everyone has a reason to live. Including the good girl gone bad. When that girl went bad, she turned on the night, and eventually she became the Theif in the night.

    j.... ....

    then jump from the top of the everest 8848 meters!

  85. j.... ....

    yeaaaaaaa    i own the fucken mountain step aside ty vm

  86. J.... F....

    ERIC CARR, THE BEST DRUMMER OF THE UNIVERSE.

    REST IN PEACE, FRIEND AND MASTER.

    J.... F....

    Woman used paul charles caravello or eric carrvello in belgium 2011. yup singing in a tavrn as a woman.

    J.... F....

    You say you ain't lying right about that miss that brother Toulouse day of his passing and we all got to respect Eric car he's up there with the best you know God bless

    J.... F....

    @vonkaunaz Hear hear

    J.... F....

    @V4EKKRINH4RT Lamb of Gods drummer or Neil Peart can hit as many drums & all! There is no punch behind those 2 drummers, except maybe Neil Peart! Eric Carr had more presence on the drums than both put together, & how could you compare a thrash drummer to Eric Carrs drumming?

    J.... F....

    @V4EKKRINH4RT
    Musical taste and likes are subject to the person. If he sees him as best, he is.

  87. F.... L....

    Lol, that carpal tunnel mother f*cker would weeze out before Bruce could get a chance to humiliate him, Bruce kills Mark "Carpal Tunnel" St. John, this is why you hear so much of Bruce and older brother Bob on so many KISS albums, let's be real.

  88. F.... L....

    Bruce rapes in this song. So f*cking underrated, good God.

  89. E.... M....

    FUCK!!!!!!!!! ERIC CARR PLAY LIKE A MONSTER...AMAZING!!! RIP

  90. R.... B....

    Oh my God! Ever hear of Mark St. John? He was the best by far!!!!!!!!! Go listen to some White Tiger fool!

  91. A.... D....

    The guitar player here for KISS did a tribute to little guitars by VH.

  92. A.... D....

    The guitar player here I believe is Bruce Kulic, he was also in Def Leppard

  93. A.... D....

    Where do you think Eddie and Randy got alot of ideas from? who came first btw Kiss or VH and Ozzy?

  94. R.... ....

    Seriously this could go against Van Halen or Randy Rhoads! Holy shit!

  95. R.... ....

    THAT FUCKING GUITAR SOLO THOUGH!

  96. R.... B....

    I totally agree w/ you!

  97. R.... B....

    Fucking Love this Song!!!!!!


    Thanx for posting!

  98. A.... B....

    Everybody in Kiss is an employee.

    A.... B....

    The newer employees, aint getting paid nothing like Gene and Paul. Im sure. lol. So, if someone gets fired. Do they get unemployment ? lol.

  99. l.... ....

    Kiss did some amazing songs in the unmasked era, it was almost like once the make-up went the songs started to shine
