David White - The Mountaintop

Spilled my blood across the snow banks
Cracked my nails upon the rocks
Dragged my husk across the mountainside
Screamed my heart into the heavens
Gnashed my teeth against the wind
Wiped my tears beneath the moonless sky

But the journey will soon be over
Does it seem worth it now?
Look at how far I've come
How far I've come

Burned my muscles climbing boulders
Wracked my mind with restless sleep
Yearned for treasures I left long ago
Ripped my knees on countless tumbles
Seared my eyes on winds of ice
Missed the world I left so far below

But the journey will soon be over
Does it seem worth it now?
Just look at what it cost
At what it cost

I reach out to touch the apex
Hoist my body one last time
Rays of sunlight wash the memory
Of the misery left behind
My eyes take in the clear horizon
Many miles above the ground
I've topped the mountain of the vanquished
Will I ever make it down?
