Mallory

His body is screaming for him to stop
But the voice in his head is begging him to reach the top
The cold is numbing both knuckles and fingers
Here where there is eternal white, death lingers

They died for all of us, they died to never be lost
The mountain still whispers their names
Hoping that one day they both may be saved

They died for all of us, they died to never be lost
The mountain still whispers their names
Hoping that one day they both may be saved

So there they hung, from the devil's tongue, brave men always die young
Don't let go, don't wander this desolate place alone

His second in commands last hold
Tells a tale of something that might never be told

They died for all of us, they died to never be lost
The mountain still whispers their names
Hoping that some day they both may be saved

A dead Englishman lies somewhere, no one knows where
But one day we might know what secret the dead bear

Falling in the endless white
Rushing down the mountain side
Then the cold metal hits his head
Face down, 75 years lost
He got buried beneath rocks

My dear Lieutenant
I hope that you found your Friend
And together you can go home
How far do you have to go before you are dead?
How far did you have to go through the dread?
Is your secret forever lost?
Did you ever reach the top?
