Set Before Us - Everest Lyrics

Have you ever faced Everest or a white whale?
A force so great that it drowns all hope, left to die on the shores of despair
Try to make your way to open waters but the tides keep knocking you down
Water in your lounges and the abyss below, sink or swim
Currents so unforgiving, harsh and strong
So, swim the best as you can, no one will help you, not a single soul
I have a mountain before me, but it will not stand in my way
The path before me is my own, sink or swim

No mountain, stick or stone will hold me back, no more
No matter how unkind your words are they won't face me, never again
I will unleash my soul and let my light obliviate all obstacles, bring down the dark

Run as fast as you can or try to hide
Escape is not the option because the tide is coming, flooding everything you hold dear
Trapped inside this maze with no way out but one
So, I'll fight, fight, fight, claw my way out, this is your end
I had a mountain before me, my path clear as ice
No one will help you, not a single soul
No one will help you try to fight the currents that are trying to hold you down (In my way)

No mountain, stick or stone will hold me back, no more
No matter how unkind your words are they won't face me, never again
I will unleash my soul and let my light obliviate all obstacles, bring down the dark

Stay away, get out of my way
If you aren't with me, step back
These days are mine and the time is now, the dawn will come
