lyrics

To set your soul at odds with nature
To take your glory from the danger
Where the mountain peak designs your death
Where the altitude despoils your breath
Where the biting winds of heaven blow
Over bodies mummified in snow
Green Boots waits in the cave
Deathly guide on my way
Frozen hearts, hearts that must dare
Climb this peak, ‘cause the peak is there
To seek the mountaineer’s high altar
To walk alone and ne’er to falter
Through the ropes and rocks I find my way
To make the top alone by end of day
Within the death zone I shall not be cowed
With just my wits I vanish into cloud
Now, ascend the north face
Reach the summit of space
Frozen stars shine on the bold
Now descend, but it’s so, so cold
With the frostbite chewing deeper
With the sickness sinking in
With the cerebral oedema
So, the freezing night begins
Out on the steps, you’re going blind
Basecamp I have to find
Out on the ledge, so short of breath
Just a while I stop to rest
On the peak I’ll remain
Green Boots joined in his cave
Frozen prayers fade up to God
Sleep serene, ‘midst the snows untrod
