This isn’t the valley, the climate is rough
The avalanches are making it tough
The stone falls are following echoes of stone fall uproar
And you could be safer and walk around
But we are choosing the toughest playground
High-risk insecure extreme path to explore
You have to be here to taste the success
To overcome your own weaknesses stress
And may be you did catch a star or two down there below
On the main street below with the rich and elite
Your long happy life will fail to beat
A tenth of a fraction of this wondrous beauty and glow
There won’t be red roses and funeral sprays
And it’s not a monument of the glamour days
That stone that had put your dauntless soul at piece …
So bright that it’s blinding forever in glow
The top of the mountain in emerald snow
Is shining unconquered by you upon your decease
And let them talk, discuss our flaws
But – no , no one ever dies for no cause
So rather than from the substance abuse or the common cold –
Others will give up the comfort of home
For the backbreaking work and the time ticking bomb
To follow the path that wasn’t within your realm
The sheer cliffs – watch out my dear!
You don’t want to push your luck out here
No stone no ice no rock will ever support
We rely on our bright outlook
On each other and the tightly hammered hook
And pray that the cable anchor slings will hold
We are cutting the steps – no turning back!
Shaken and strained are the knees and the back
The heart has jumped out and ran to the top of the hill
The world at your feet. You’re speechless and still
Happy and jealous of those who will
Still come to conquer this gnarly and mind-blowing track
