West face? Blind faith is all you've got? Courage dictates the plot There's million ways to fall Facing death at the frost caress Called too many, too soon A throne of stone became their curse A place on earth remote as the moon Higher! Take a step Into thin air divine Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth Take a leap Into your mind's deepest dreams To reach your inner self's esteem Your life is lost Until your self begins All thoughts coalesce Her glazing bliss raining down To fear, to love, to grieve and exist The closure falls A realm of snow and ice persist Here on Dhaulagiri Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder - Blazing down on me Face of death - nature's fortress Ice throne - force divine A wall of rock stood in my way On the way to success Take a step Into thin air divine Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth Take a leap Into your mind's deepest dreams To reach your inner self's esteem Your life is lost Until your self begins All thoughts coalesce Her glazing bliss raining down To fear, to love, to grieve and exist The closure falls A realm of snow and ice persist Here on Dhaulagiri Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder - Blazing down on me
