Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah 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 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 Till I have nothing left Everest 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 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 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 Till I have nothing left Oh, Everest All my life I've had to fight and I don't know why I just keep going But 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 I don't know why I just keep going But there's a light and I just might Get that high if I keep climbing 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 Till I have nothing left Oh, Everest I'll die with no regrets Everest Ah
