Aurora Peak

Verse 1

Concrete

Iron towers tilt

The oxygen tastes like copper and salt

Aurora

She stands

Staring

Breath held tight

Cold winds biting her collar

Chorus

Apex rising

Apex rising

Apex rising

Higher than the clouds

Higher than the ghosts

Higher than the machines

Apex rising

Verse 2

North

Way past the border

Where the satellites fall down to rot

The climb

Hard

Staggering

Heaving

Metal stairs under heavy boots

I climb I crawl I conquer

Rusted gears

A clicking sound in the dark

No one

Left

Above the treeline now

Chorus

Apex rising

Apex rising

Apex rising

Higher than the clouds

Higher than the ghosts

Higher than the machines

Apex rising

Bridge

The air is thin

The air is quiet

The air is mine

I see the curve of the earth

I see the lights of the dead

I see the end of the road

Nothing left to reach

Nowhere left to hide

Verse 3

Summit

White

Just bone white

The signal is screaming in my skull

Aurora

Found

Standing

Alone

Looking at the stars

Victory

Bitter

Heavy

Dust in my mouth

Chorus

Apex rising

Apex rising

Apex rising

Higher than the clouds

Higher than the ghosts

Higher than the machines

Apex rising

Outro

I am here

I am here

I am here

The view is empty

The wind is loud

Silence

Just silence

Now

Wait
