[Intro]

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 1]

It's the shame, it's the pain, something I can't explain

It's a noise, it's a voice, and it screams in my brain

It's a curse and it hurts, but I just keep going

I lean into the storm, it's the way I was born

'Cause my fear is a flame and it can't be ignored

Keeping faith that is blind through the tears in my eyes

But I just keep going

[Chorus]

I climb Everest

Knowing it's life or death

Oh, and my survival is suicidal

This vicious cycle

Knowing I won't ever rest

Until my dying breath

'Til I have nothing left

Everest

[Verse 2]

It's the cure, it's a poison, I don't have a choice in

The silent defiance that I find my voice in

'Cause I have decided to just keep going

It's the rush, it's the feeling that keeps me believing

That I have the strength when I don't have a reason

To fight is my vice when I don't have the right

To just keep going

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm counting bodies on the way

Knowing any one could take my place

Knowing I could give my life for something

And it might all be for nothing

[Chorus]

I climb Everest

Knowing it's life or death

Oh, and my survival is suicidal

This vicious cycle

Knowing I won't ever rest

Until my dying breath

'Til I have nothing left

Oh, Everest

[Bridge]

All my life I've had to fight and

Don't know why I just keep going

There's a light and I just might

Get that high if I just keep going

All my life I've had to fight and

Don't know why I just keep going

There's a light and I just might

Get that high if I keep climbing

[Chorus]

Everest

Knowing it's life or death

Oh, and my survival is suicidal

This vicious cycle

Knowing I won't ever rest

Until my dying breath

'Til I have nothing left

Oh, Everest

[Outro]

I'll die with no regrets

Everest

Ah
