about

There are more than 200 bodies in the "death zone", some unrecoverable, on Mt Everest, that climbers use as markers on the path to the top. Many of those fell and froze on the way back, recklessly pushing for the summit without rest. Some of them are left there per their final wishes. No one knows for sure what drives them to go on without rest, after odds to survive are dropping to zero.

lyrics

You’ve got a goal
You've got a nerve
You've got a pack
Behind your back
Now clench your teeth
Life is at stake
Pull out your fists
Your will won't break

You wish to touch the stars
And plunge into Olympic clouds
You started an infinite passionate stride
To reach the lair of bottomless pride
Follow the trail of frozen crumbs
Raise the bar until it meets the sun
Cultivate the inner sense of calm
While shedding friends who slow you down

You’ve got a goal
You've got a nerve
You've got a pack
Behind your back
Now clench your teeth
Life is at stake
Keep warm your fists
Your will won't break

You stand tall on the top of the world
Gazing round with the eyes of a god
Grey bearded behemoth bent at your feet
In awe of the shadow thrown by the sun
You stand tall on the top of the world
Embracing beauty with the soul of a god
You've discarded all that pulls you down to the ground
Rejoicing more than you ever dreamt about

You’ve got a goal
You've got a nerve
You're all alone
Oxygen is running low
Control your breath
Life is at stake
Keep warm your fists
Your will might break

You aspired of touching the stars
And wearing the Olympic crown
But as stars reflect in your glazing eyes
Your crumbled body falls to mark the path
Follow the trail of body crumbs
Raise the bar until it meets the sun
Cultivate the inner sense of calm
And prepare for the next realm

Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever needed
There's nothing holding you on the Earth
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever needed
There's no one coming for you
