The Price of the Peak 50.1 [EXPLICIT]

+ Show full styles

[Intro]
[Low, distorted guitar hum]
[Single, steady drum beat like a heartbeat]
[Verse 1]
It started when the leaves turned brown in '23
A divine hand reaching down just to shadow me
I had the maps laid out and the mountain scaled
But every bridge I built was destined to be failed
It’s a personal mission, a celestial wall
Designed to make me stumble, designed to make me fall
[Verse 2]
He’s locking every door that leads to where I’m going
Unless I kill the garden that I’ve spent my lifetime growing
The traits they love, the warmth they seek, the light within my eyes
Are the very things He’s asking me to sacrifice for the prize
I can see the finish line, it’s gleaming gold and cold
But I have to burn the version of me they wanted to behold
[Chorus]
Since that autumn wind blew in, the deal has been the same
I can have the kingdom if I’ll only change my name
But if I reach the summit and I’m standing there alone
With a heart of jagged marble on a solitary throne
Was it God who led me there, or a ghost I don't forgive?
If the person they all leaned on isn't allowed to live?
[Bridge]
[Music swells, adding heavy industrial distortion]
Trade your mercy for the hunger!
Trade your silence for the thunder!
Strip the skin and leave the spirit!
If there’s a calling, can you hear it?
The goals are in the distance, but the cost is in the bone
He won’t let me have the harvest if the seeds are still my own!
[Guitar Solo - Slow, wailing, and bluesy]
[Chorus]
Since that autumn wind blew in, the deal has been the same
I can have the kingdom if I’ll only change my name
But if I reach the summit and I’m standing there alone
With a heart of jagged marble on a solitary throne
Was it God who led me there, or a ghost I don't forgive?
If the person they all leaned on isn't allowed to live?
[Outro]
Still holding on...
'23 was just the start...
Don't let Him take the heart...
[Fade out with the sound of wind and a final, low piano chord]
