Ascent Lyrics

Slowly it etches, jagged cracks appear

The face of a lion, the sum of my fears

As I walk it grows, steadily erupting

Glacier teeth from it's mouth

Spawning clouds make up it's mane

From all the hate I try to redirect

From all the pain I don't let affect

My stone face, it's like the mountain is me

Solid to the eye, but melting underneath

Callous and numb, I make my ascent

Up this volcanic slope I try to pretend

That I'm just indifferent

Meanwhile the rage is overflowing

Climbing higher to reach the summit

Striving harder to overcome it

The misery that dwells in meShipwreck A.D. - Ascent - http://motolyrics.com/shipwreck-ad/ascent-lyrics.html

Wrath flowing through every vein

I feel the knot begin to tie

Internal pressure starts to rise

Fangs of temper bite my chest

With crushing jaws they overwhelm

The lava, the angst, the eruption

My uphill battle ensues

I push the boulder just to watch it roll

Amongst the smoldering flames below

Cursed by my own despair

I try to leave it and trudge on

Climbing higher to reach the summit

Striving harder to overcome it

Climbing higher to be free of it

Striving harder I overcame
