The great war, has left it's mark Ruins of a city, hidden in the dark Fear and despair, plagued every home But a willing spirit, cannot break A sudden sense of pride Was striking all the nations When esteem, was the ultimate goal The urge came to explore From a generation, of a tragic past Heroes will emerge, in search of hidden paths Seeking thrills, into the vast unknown Excitement and danger, never conquered before The Great Empire stood With a weeping wound Is this the time to face One final race Determination, of a restless child Gazing at the horizon The future awaits And yet another Opportunity arised For the men With hearts of lions Aiming for the highest peak Lost in thought As I was scratching my route Here I am again Full of excitement and doubt But unrepentant like never before What can I do How to be strong When death sends kisses From the cold winds of the unknown Writing you this letter My sweet and dear Ruth Gives me the strength i need To go on unchallenged Your thought is all i need To face the ice and snow To visit the peak Of superstition Where the ghosts of martyrs, can greet me I won't give in Into my fear Must persist on my destination What can I do How to be strong When death sends kisses From the cold winds of the unknown Hear the call And gaze at this grand silhouette It's prize, concealed Up in the clouds And then I saw my men around Smiling faces in the snow Old and young both sharing My excitement For their dream is also mine Clouds have cleared and there it was! The last frontier that is between Gods and men Out of bounds Intimidating Mesmerizing For I'm led by my desire The realization of our insignificance Life is short and full of pain Just men we are conceived Without purpose, without hope We have to gain, our humanity Forgotten and decayed, So fragile, what a shame So tomorrow, i will seal my fate Tomorrow brings the day Bearing my last chance For my name to echo In the distance of time Come with me, my young friend And make your peace with God Tomorrow we'll be heading to the road Of immortality For your dream is also mine Steady, towards the ultimate goal Moving through the piercing cold Fearful thoughts are closing in Strangers in a hostile land Where life was banished from these grounds The white mist surrounding us (Have no fear) How can we last, to leave our mark Two forms Appearing from afar Heading strongly for the top The summit fever restless grows Step by step, towards the end You won't bend me this time This is my moment of rebirth (The stars appear) My mind is clear A scene right from my wildest dreams Here's The Roof of the Earth, behold! Will we have the chance To gaze, at it's secrets History untold The mind cannot embrace A sudden snap of the rope A false step bringing me To the journey below And a flash before my eyes The pain and rock, shattered My body and soul As my face was covered in snow, I heard a fainting voice, coming from above Now my vision is filled With warm memories, of my home Lost in the void, my friend full of life and joy I screamed your name, a thousand voices joined my pledge Left all alone, in this cursed, forbidden world I'll meet my end, the mystery of death will soon unfold Night welcomes, this tragedy Shock erased my senses My instincts misplaced Overtaken by fear Reached so high Sealed our fate Overcame Uncertainty You found your joy The end of life Is an unfulfilled accomplishment Proned to mockery and shame Or maybe it's a path Carved from dedication A source of inspiration Waiting to be walked again Calling those who understand Meet their hidden destiny Change the face of history Give some meaning to our names Keep our memory in your dreams Nothing is gained without pain The sky is yours to be claimed Waiting to be walked again Calling those who understand Meet their hidden destiny Change the face of history Give some meaning to our names Keep our memory in your dreams Nothing is gained without pain The sky is yours to be claimed Reached so high Sealed our fate Overcame Uncertainty You found your joy The end of life You've touched the sky The summit's price
