Top Of The World
Saxon Lyrics

Break the camp, the plan is done
The preparations are complete and it's time to begin the journey.

The mountain waits for you to come
The mountain anticipates your arrival and challenges you to conquer it.

Snow and ice, the granite rock
The harsh elements of snow, ice, and solid rock characterize the mountain's terrain.

One mistake and you will drop
A small error in judgment can lead to a dangerous, life-threatening fall.

The summit never conquered yet
No one has reached the peak of the mountain successfully.

Soon you'll face your final test
The ultimate challenge awaits you, determining your strength and determination.

No oxygen is taken there
At high altitudes, the air becomes thin and lacking in oxygen.

You only breathe the thinning air
Your only source of breath is the increasingly scarce and thin air.

Inch by inch you near a climb
With slow and steady progress, you approach the challenging ascent.

Up towards the death zone line
Ascending closer to the altitude where survival becomes extremely difficult or deadly.

Your body claws for every breath
Your physical being fights relentlessly for each intake of air.

Razor sharp across your chest
The intense strain and exhaustion are felt acutely in your chest.

Step by step, each painful minute
Slowly and agonizingly, every minute of progress is gained with effort.

Through the clouds towards the summit
Pushing through the obstructing clouds, progressing closer to the peak.

Standing there in majesty
Witnessing the awe-inspiring and grand presence of the summit.

The highest place above the sea
It is the greatest elevated point above the sea level.

Make no mistake, descent is slow
Descending from the summit takes time and caution, it cannot be rushed.

Death awaits you far below
If not careful, a fatal outcome looms in the depths below.

Check the rope is good and strong
Ensure that the lifeline is secure and capable of holding one's weight.

Take your time, don't get it wrong
Exercise patience and diligence, avoiding any missteps or errors.

To reach the peak is what you yearn
Your desire and longing are focused on reaching the summit.

But many go and don't return
Sadly, numerous individuals attempt the climb but do not come back alive.

Your body screams from the lack of rest
Exhaustion and sleep deprivation take a toll on your physical well-being.

But no one hears on Everest
In the formidable environment of Everest, your struggles go unnoticed and unheard.

This is the land where the Earth meets the sky
Describing the majestic and ethereal atmosphere of the mountain.

Standing on top of the World
Experiencing the pinnacle of achievement and glory.

You're standing on top of the World
Emphasizing the accomplishment of being at the summit.
