Ravenstrikex - The Last Excuse

I want the
I've climbed that
Inside my head hey
I said next year, then too late.
Dressed up excuses, called it fade.
I said enough.
I wanted more.
What was
I saving my life for?
Say it straight.
I heard that lie.
I used it to make someday sound like something true.
We worked.
We saved.
We earned this shot.
I want to give it all
I got.
I'll take the work.
I'll take the cold.
I want the life
I put on hold.
Then
I want the top.
I'll take the climb.
I gave my doubt too much damn time.
I said enough.
I wanted more.
That life stays down on the valley floor.
Viking.
Will my boots bite ice?
I'll pay and sweat.
I know the price.
I want the top.
Let that be heard.
I made that oath.
I keep my word crossed on my mask.
Each lung for burn for half a breath.
I almost turned up.
They fixed inside my head.
I gripped the rope, pushed on instead.
My people world below.
Their words burn warmer than they know.
They saw the work.
They know the cost.
That kind of love cuts through the frost.
I want their war when
I get through.
I reached it and
I thought of you.
They know.
They know.
The old ones crossed the winner sea.
That stubborn hunger lives in me.
They had their crossing.
I've got mine.
I take the strain.
I make the climb.
The ache is real
The choice is mine
I'll do the work
I'm in the climb
I want the top.
I'll take the climb.
I gave my doubt too much damn time.
I said enough.
I wanted more.
That life stays down on the valley floor.
Viking will.
My boots bite ice.
I paid him.
I paid the price.
I reached the top.
Let that be heard.
I made that oath.
I kept my word.
Every hard step
Worth everyone heat.
Heat.
Heat.
