Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The ridge had long hinted
At strong and at weak
Both threatening wall
And welcoming peak
A taunting horizon
For shortening years
One sun, but two shadows
Equidistant fears
[Verse 2]
For my life I have watched you
Like my father before
[Verse 3]
Do I die without knowing?
Or climb to find more?
[Verse 4]
Compelled to discover
With answers so near
And with thoughts so contorted
By a limbic leer
[Verse 5]
With the bristling awareness
Of a fate not yet sealed
A decision is reached
That the great peak shall yield
[Verse 6]
Looking back, I now see
Having long since set off
Though in first breaking trail
Of course, I could not
[Verse 7]
That the struggle continues
Tearing sinew each step
[Verse 8]
Sensing one fear replaced
By its twin, in regret
Sensing one fear replaced
By its twin, in regret
[Verse 9]
Growing nearer, hope holding
Simple foothol, a fall
Damaged limb, but not fatal
Just a moment, to stall
Rising up, now mere steps
From the summit, look down
To stare out across that
Which was already found
[Verse 10]
I am here, at the crest
Where my eyes always fell
Did I leave them for this?
Frozen lips cannot tell
[Verse 11]
Looking back, I now see
Having long since set off
Though in first breaking trail
Of course, I could not
[Verse 12]
That my time, and this mountain, and my father before
But a cycle of reaching and striving to claw
Moving higher, hands clasping, eyes looking for more
Not a thing left to find, in all that I saw
