Stryper - Over The Mountain Lyrics






Over the mountain, take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander, where d'ya think I wandered to
I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through

I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them how

Over and over, always tried to get away
Living in a daydream, only place I had to stay
Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide
People around me talking to the walls inside

I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them how

Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah

Over and under, in between the ups and downs
Mind on a carpet, magic ride goes 'round and round
Over the mountain, kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd

Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah

    J.... G....

    😝😝😝CURSE OF THE LEGIONS OF DEATH!😝😝😝

  10. T.... G....

    Nailed that solo. Nice work

  11. R.... L....

    I've always admired Stryper. Seems they've always been in between. Not holy enough or not credible because they are metalheads who believe in God. There are many ways to receive the word and there are many ways to rock. Stryper can deliver both.

  12. R.... F....

    The only reason there are 18 dislikes is because the dislikers are fucking antichrists!

  13. R.... F....

    Suena de putísima madre!!!

  14. K.... N....

    I am a die hard Randy Rhoads fan, I listened to this the first time with a little trepidation. My hat is off to STRYPER these truth rockers did this song with love and respect its due! You guys are mega talented,Fanfreakingtastic !!!

  15. D.... C....

    I think it would have been awesome if they did Master of Puppets.

  16. T.... ....

    Totally & completely brilliant cover of Ozzy tune. WOW!

    T.... ....

    I totally agree dude

  17. E.... F....

    UH DUDE I LOVE STRYPER BUT YOU CANT TOP RANDY ROHDES OR DAVE MUSSTAIN OF PANIC METALLICA AND MEGADETH DUDE STICK TO THE OLD STUFF IF YOU HALF TO HANG OUT WKTH DAVE MUSTAINE SO HE CAN GIVE YLU SOME TOP NOTES OR CORDS

  18. R.... F....

    Abro debate, Cuál suena mejor? Seamos objetivos. dedo arriba por la original , dedo abajo por Stryper

  19. D.... S....

    Great solo !

  20. R.... V....

    very bad vocals

    R.... V....

    Richard Van oudheusden ha better then Ozzy they don't have to fully Auto-Tune their voices unlike Ozzy who's voice is so bad that they have to fully auto tune him

    R.... V....

    Still.....very bad singing here

  21. T.... ....

    their live cover of Heaven and Hell is off the hook.

  22. G.... 6....

    i thought Stryper was a christian band,what happen ???

    G.... 6....

    Yes they are christian but they wanted to make a tribute to the bands inspired them. Good job they did isn't?

    G.... 6....

    oh yeah they did an awesome job Nelson when i heard the ozzy tribute i enjoyed it

    G.... 6....

    Ozzy is the structure of metal itself...the father of this beautiful insanity called Metal.... Ozzy tribute made me rock as well as learnt me to listen Ozzy's songs with new vive and new soul...Yes it's a great tribute!!!

    G.... 6....

    have a good one Nelson and yeah i love Ozzy

    G.... 6....

    Guitar 69 just because they're a Christian band doesn't mean they have to only do Christan songs

  23. G.... C....

    wait, metal isn't devil music?

    G.... C....

    Yes I know Stryper, im just trying to be ironic. Christian bands that I know, Petra, Mortification and Bloodgood

    G.... C....

    in Argentina, Logos

    G.... C....

    Demon Hunter 3160
    check out Scandinavian Praise

    G.... C....

    No it is not dude

  24. T.... L....

    Well done boys! :)

  25. J.... F....

    the Oz man rocks!

  26. J.... F....

    stryper Is my #1 band of all time

  27. j.... ....

    so its OK for them to be influenced by these bands but not cover them? what a bunch of morons. good for them for doing something for fun and paying homage. this really upset the religious status quo I see.

    j.... ....

    joethebar1 not really. I might be in the minority who believe that Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, etc are not the devil worshippers they are made out to be. They may not be Christian bands like Stryper, but they aren’t satanic.

  28. k.... ....

    I'm really impressed with all the covers I am hearing, they have done all of them very well staying true to the original yet adding a different flavor lightly.

  29. L.... ....

    Second Stryper cover I listened to, both times people are listening to it and talking about how the original band did it better blah blah, and yet both times Stryper not only covers it very well, but also adds their own flavor to it, a solid rendition, also liked the cover of Lights out in London, which is how I got here. Great job! And the main riff was always a gallop.

    L.... ....

    "And the main riff was always a gallop"

    I would not accept that as an accurate statement. Stryper definitely slowed the songs main riff down to attain a gallop feel to it. From a 2 count to a 4 count is what it feels like. But that said, I kinda like it and I listen to it often, it gives it a very unique and different feel, one that I would not have imagined.

    L.... ....

    there you go thank you

    L.... ....

    No.  It wasn't a gallop.  Not that it really matters, anyway...

    L.... ....

    it is the bass drum that is different and making the guitar "gallop" dominant. yes I am a drummer....

    L.... ....

    Yes it was always a gallop

  30. C.... H....

    Stryper's new songs sound great and so do these! Love the rhythm!!

  31. j.... r....

    It's ALL about musical INFLUENCES!!!!

  32. Z.... Y....

    It sucks

  33. J.... T....

    Even a bro is rocking this. Awsome. Randy R.I.P.

  34. J.... T....

    Well the gallop grew on me. lol. Awsome creativity

  35. L.... S....

    I still cant play that stupid drum intro to this or where eagles dare by Maiden! So frustraiting!

    L.... S....

    +Lasher “Robb” Squirrel Slayer C'mon mate u have to keep on practicing, this one is not as hard as Where eagle's dare, but with practice you'll get 'em... i know i did!!!

    L.... S....

    Thanks Francisco! I get so friggin angry sometimes when they make it look so dang easy!

  36. r.... a....

    Great job. 

  37. S.... M....

    Actually, written by Ozzy, Randy Rhodes, Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley.

    S.... M....

    Besides Ozzy Osbourne

    S.... M....

    and Satan!

    S.... M....

    Written by Randy Rhodes, Bob Daisley, and Lee Kerslake...Ozzy has never written a note of music or lyric in his life.

  38. M.... W....

    Fundies will be mad at this Lol . I'm agnostic this is pretty good ))

    M.... W....

    @RantWithJeff This is not the place to start a religious argument. Shut up and rock

  39. e.... ....

    Wow...Awesome job Stryper... Is metal coming back?? Damn u MTV .. don't know what's happening in the music scene anymore since grunge killed hair metal.

    e.... ....

    @amh007dude you no shit about music.

    e.... ....

    @nemtall well i know more than you at least 

    e.... ....

    Check out Steel Panther.... And I agree, MTV and the Music Industry screwed Metal over bad around 1992-3. There was room in music for Metal but the Industry did them in. Music fans will never leave Metal, though.

    e.... ....

    Yeah whatever....MTV did not create hair metal moron.

  40. d.... s....

    who said christan music sucks

    d.... s....

    this isn't christian music danny

    this is christians doing their best to belt out a classic ......... sounds good in bits ...... no so good in other bits

  41. J.... A....

    Great job on the solo.

  42. k.... r....

    Yeah...michael..over the mountain was sweeet!

    k.... r....

    if you think this was good you should try the original 

  43. s.... b....

    better voice than ozzy but ozzy has such a unique voice that i love!

    s.... b....

    it does sound like dennis

  44. a.... ....

    I dont like how they made the riff into a gallop

    a.... ....

    listen to mark slaughter sing this song of off bat head soup, sounds good. triplets do suck on this one

    a.... ....

    all4Hisgloryalone before I looked at the comments I was thinking the same doggone thing!!!
    Michael Sweet sure sounds good tho!!!!

    a.... ....

    Jesse Edmondson No Bruh It’s a Run, I don’t know how to say it in guitar terms

    a.... ....

    all4Hisgloryalone well said

    a.... ....

    It isn't that they did its just a faster band .

  45. T.... ....

    I like how he mumbled Satan name lol 

    T.... ....

    I don't think that satan's name is mentioned anywhere in the song.

    T.... ....

    don't fear satan is not in this song .... your christian ears are safe

    T.... ....

    Look up the lyrics

    T.... ....

    @THOMASTOOMUCH the lyrcis are here and they are correct i rate this as one of ozzy's best songs

    T.... ....

    It's more than a Great song it's a solid classic. 

  46. N.... P....

    Styper doing this one, as much as I couldn't get into them in the 1980s -- this is actually a very cool cover for them. I knew what they were doing. Stryper was clearing the names of the heavy metal acts that were deemed Satanic in the 1980s. This album shows where Stryper came from in terms of influences. Michael Sweet doesn't have the dark enough voice for this one but he does well here.

  47. R.... G....

    why wouldn't you speak? He did lol

  48. J.... O....

    quit being scared lonewolf if your scared go to church bitch their is no god no devil its all bullshit

  49. J.... O....

    every song on that rules best ever for stryper

  50. K.... B....

    my ignorance of what?

  51. s.... ....

    Your ignorance is overwhelming.

  52. H.... V....

    The 80's music will RETURN!!!!

  53. b.... ....

    Damn, I came here after seeing it on the list with the original Ozzy version. I was fully expecting some of that 80's Stryper crap but then it came on and kicked ass.

  54. K.... B....

    You mean "Go on Stryper, make Satan happy!"

  55. W.... L....

    yeah ozz fox is no joke

  56. W.... L....

    i will have to check that out

  57. e.... ....

    Ficou excelente , mas queria mesmo era ver eles tocando "Mr. Crowley" hehehe

  58. R.... P....

    Seek Truth? Truth is in the eye of the one speaking!
    you still have to belief in what ever that truth may be , wich requires some sort of faith.

  59. i.... ....

    I think My Earphones almost exploded! :O it was AWESOME XD!!!(volume was too high)

  60. K.... P....

    Fuck you don't fucking tell people what they need to do or how they need to do something to achieve acceptance from some "christian god." You're just the kind of ignorant piece of shit that this world doesn't need. If i want to believe that for me to be accepted into "heaven" that I need to take a shit in a paper bag and burn it every wednesday...just how you can't prove jack fucking shit about what you need to do to get into "heaven."

    K.... P....

    Kristubs Plays who are you talking to? Am I missing something?

  61. M.... ....

    I personally think the crazy train bullet for my valentine cover is solid

  62. d.... c....

    UMMMMMM???........ no.

  63. z.... c....

    nothing will save you, when you die you die, that's it. subjects your irrational beliefs to suspicion and seek the truth

  64. F.... F....

    Wow the solo was identical

  65. A.... ....

    God I love how people bitch "We don't want to hear about your religion blah blah blah" but they'll be the ones to complain and moan until the sun fucking rises next month about someone who even mentions religion. If you don't like it, just ignore it, it shouldn't be that hard really..

  66. B.... ....

    you forgot to read the part that says its okay for priests to molest children. the devil doesn't do that shit. which ones the bad guy now, jackwagon.

  67. B.... ....

    believing in creepy, old, sky-borne pedophile who's followers touch kids = bad thing
    the devil = sex, drugs rock and roll

    okay, yeah, i think you have the wrong guy up on the pedestal there, sport.

    B.... ....

    BTF82 - Jane you ignorant slut. What do you believe in? The “big bang”? or that Darwin monkey religion that can’t be proven? Did your teachers tell you that we’re just stardust on some rock spinning 1000mph through the nothingness of space and that our lives are meaningless? That when we die worms eat us and that’s it? Or maybe your just another anti christian joo?

  68. A.... I....

    There's nothing to "get over". Not EVERYONE who likes the band wants to hear you spout your religious bullshit.

  69. L.... W....

    Thanks for those loving words?!?! Your comment didn't do anything to me at all. I read it and I'm over it... and???

  70. A.... I....

    Stop preaching. Just get the fuck out, if we wanted to hear your religious bullshit we'd read the bible.

  71. J.... B....

    because HE loves us.

  72. n.... ....

    so you are saying Jesus wore a uniform? hahahahaa. that's insane. Even the whole idea that God has a son (who is actually God) is completely illogical and madness. Would your dad let someone spit on him or abuse him? No. so why would the creator of ALL things, of ALL universes, of ALL Life, allow his creation to crap all over him? God could put us down with one thought, yet He allows humans to spit on him? illogical and lame.

  73. H.... V....

    @ChristianU2ubeh Pat Boone actually is a Stryper fan....and he also did a cover album with the biggest heavy metal hits, like Disturbed, Ozzy Osbourne and so forth, ofcourse the covers were not in a metal genre.

  74. i.... c....

    @mwidunn I want to disagree and fight you on every word you said. The problem is ..I can't when you are exactly right.

  75. M.... D....

    @lonewolf7999 I trust my Bible, which says: “Repent and be baptized ... for the forgiveness of your sins" (Acts 2:38). Belief is the beginning of salvation.

    And, Jesus Himself wore tassels on His garments as per the Law of Moses (Matt 9:20; see Num 15:37-40 and Deut 22:12). Did He need them to remind Him to do the Commandments? He was the Son of God, for pete's sake! Yet, Jesus wore them. So, please lay off those who wear crosses and Christian things. If Jesus could do it, so can we.

  76. M.... D....

    @usernameofnobody "Then Jesus spoke ... 'The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach, but they do not practice'" (Matt 23:1-3). I love Stryper, but part ways with them on this one. Lyrics matter; intentions matter; anti-Christian names on bands like "Black Sabbath" and "Judas Priest" matter. A line has been crossed here.

  77. G.... P....

    Honestly all of you biblethumpers need to go back to listening to Pat Boone or hymns.

  78. T.... ....

    The faith of the band is none of my business...

  79. G.... M....

    go watch the interview that Micheal Sweet did with Eric Blair if you have questions about Stryper's faith

  80. s.... ....

    I love the the galloping rythym change from the original. very good cover by any standard. I am just glad they got rid of the black and yellow spandex!

  81. M.... ....

    I'm not a religous person by any means but i'm impressed by what Stryper has done here. I think everybody just needs to leave the religion out of it and enjoy the music!

  82. l.... ....

    Wait..why are people bashing Stryper? They're not turning against their faith by covering songs that inspired them. Is there some law that says that they cannot show tribute to the bands that they enjoyed? Just because they are Christians doesn't make them hate Ozzy or Ronnie James Dio. Go back to your bibles and read them again. I respect the band MORE now than ever, and I respect them 100% for what they have given us.

  83. m.... ....

    @penguinblack i agree heavy metal can spread the gospel, but not how stryper is doing it, stryper is playing both sides. good and evil, which means its all evil because there is no promoting evil in gods true work,
    roberts sweet druming to rod stewarts song (if you think im sexy come along and let me know) thats not gods work or the spirit of god, (WAKE UP) much deception in these last days

  84. m.... ....

    @defasabat456 i agree you do have until your last breath. and hopefully in dios last breath dio did recieve jesus, but i would not bet on it, if dio truly recieved jesus in his heart as his lord and savior and i see dio in heaven. ill be very glad to admit i was wrong.

  85. m.... ....

    @defasabat456 type in ---> dio talks about religion, on youtube and you tell me what dio thinks about heaven and jesus,

  86. m.... ....

    @defasabat456 type in ---> dio talks about religion, on youtube and you tell me what dio thinks about heaven and jesus,

  87. m.... ....

    @defasabat456 type in ---> dio talks about religion, on youtube and you tell me what dio thinks about heaven and jesus,

  88. L.... W....

    Trust me people. Wearing crosses and wearing Christian things does not save you! Your relationship with Christ Jesus is what saves you. You deny your selfish sins and turn to Jesus and hail HIM as LORD of your life....believe and you shall be saved. Not crosses, not cool Christian shirts, not Christian bands save you. They are cool to listen to to get away from negative material, but they don't save you. And yes, I am still a Stryper fan...they still ROCK!!

  89. m.... ....

    @rokr4christ777 dio (from blacksabbath) rejected jesus up until the time he died. (you want to be where dio is at now? yet stryper promotes dio and other bands that reject jesus. by playing those bands music people then think its ok to get back into secular bands and go to there concerts making them weak in faith and causing many to backsliding, (satans using stryper to draw many away from jesus) and satans plan is working great

  90. m.... ....

    @StryperTHWTD10241986 im embarrassing christianity by saying stryper should not glorify bands that reject jesus? or is robert sweet embarrasing christianity drumming to rod stewarts song (if you think im sexy come along and let me know) im sure youll say its good he did that so he can reach the rod stewart audience with the gospel of jesus (WAKE UP)
    in these last hours satan leads many astray

  91. g.... ....

    No way, is that an evil and masculine looking Michael Sweet in a Members Only jacket?!?

  92. p.... ....

    WOW! I forgot to say WOW!

  93. p.... ....

    I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  94. J.... L....

    @mrcooldude964 Quit being a pharisee.

  95. m.... ....

    @djlagomorph your right, most are turned from jesus and rejecting him. jesus said most hearts will grow cold and turn from the truth in these last days. thats why hell has many more people in it then heaven. jesus said most will not chose heaven, (im glad i did) and all who recieved jesus while they had the chance, ill see you in heaven
    ps. there are no virgins in hell waiting for you. they are screaming in pain and torment just like everyone else there is doing

  96. m.... ....

    @mrcooldude964 dude, its music. chill out

  97. m.... ....

    James 3:12, My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. (Can stryper cover bands that reject Jesus but yet claim to love Jesus? what does light and darkness have in common? if stryper was light they would not play and glorify bands that are of darkness,
    Don’t be fooled there is much deception in these last days (DONT BE DECIEVED)

  98. G.... ....

    In the 80's...folks used to protest outside the venue and scream that Stryper was satanic. Billy Graham has protesters outside his venues claiming he is the anti-christ. Jesus...in his day...had protesters claiming he was satanic.
