In the shadows of Everest the brave they gather 'round
With dreams of conquering heights they search but never found
The air is thin the cold is biting but they press on still
Every step a testament to human will
Everybody dies on the mountain
Where the winds of fate blow cold
In the silence of the summit
Legends are told
With each breath a battle with each step a fight
Against the odds they climb reaching for the light
But the mountain is unforgiving it takes without remorse
Leaving dreams shattered on its icy course
Everybody dies on the mountain
Where the air is thin and bold
In the whispers of the wind
Legends are told
For some it's glory for others it's despair
In the heart of the Himalayas where danger fills the air
They face the ultimate challenge they dare to reach the sky
But Everest holds the power to live or to die
Everest holds the power to live or to die
Everybody dies on the mountain
Where the brave and fearless roam
In the echoes of eternity
Legends find their home
So heed the call of Everest if you dare to brave its might
But know that not all who climb will see the morning light
For in the shadow of the summit where the mighty peaks arise
