lyrics

MOUNTAIN




As it stands, overpowering
It’s the climb that we dread.
All hope is lost
Aspirations are dead

Like a blind man leading a flock
We’re led through the unknown
As we push on through a Gordian knot
Fruitless ventures are shown

This mighty precipice
Wages wars with my mind
Has it conquered me in my head?
The strength I cannot find

The sheer determination
That must be wrought by me
From the depths of my soul
I’ll rise up, this man will not be weak

__________________________________

It finally comes to an end
The sweat shed, the blood bled

For the mountain that did not give way
Determination has prevailed

__________________________________

As I fall deeper within doubts
I come to realize more and more
This mountain that is testing me
Is a towering metaphor

The symbolic nature of this climb
Is here fall all to see
If I overcome the barriers in my mind
My thoughts can finally be free

__________________________________

I cannot deny I’ve had the fear
Of death and eternity
But dying with courage
Is second to victory

The sweat shed
The blood has been bled




_________________________________________

Never
Render
The climb
Incomplete
Never
Surrender
To
Defeat

_____________________________________

For all those who claim disdain
For those who claim that I am insane
I’ll right spit back in their face
For I have endured pain


________________________________________

It finally comes to an end
The sweat shed, the blood bled

For the mountain that did not give way
Determination has prevailed
