This isn’t the valley, the climate is rough
The avalanches are making it tough
The stone falls go down in chain with fierce uproar
And some play it safer and just go around
But we are choosing the toughest playground -
High-risk unsecured extreme path to explore

If you haven’t to been here to risk it all
To test yourself with the stern protocol
Although you may have caught a star or two down there below
On the Main street, among 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 your glamour days
That rock 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 beyond the reach upon your decease

And let them talk, discuss our flaws
But - no, no one ever dies for no cause
So rather than die from the vodka or the flu -
Others will give up the comfort of home
For the backbreaking work and this ticking time bomb
To follow this route that was almost 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
The each other’s arms and the hammered hook
Rely on your friend and the bright outlook
And pray that the cable anchor slings will hold

We are cutting the steps - there’s no turning back!
Shaken and strained are the knees and the back
The heart is ready to jump and run to the top of the hill
The world at your feet. You’re speechless and still
Happy, yet jealous of those who will
Still have it ahead of them to dare this mind-blowing track
