Karakoram Lyrics

I am the slate of lost emotion, I am the face of blank despair
That which crushes your spirit and body
In this cold and rarified air.

I will take my tithe: the one in four!
You will pay the price: one in four!

I am the king of snow and stone, I am the peak of deadly force,
That which claws the skin from your bones
As you traverse this dreadful course.

I will toll your lives: the one in four!
You will leave behind: one in four!

I loom
Massive and foreboding
Taunting you to try your courage.
Unyielding, immutable, indiscriminate.
I am my god and I am my temple
And you cannot 'conquer' me.

You cannot conquer me!

Now, you are in The Death Zone
I rob you of your senses,
I strip you of conceit
And then I sweep you to your doom...

I am the Savage Mountain!
