This jagged mountain, I have climbed/ And I have seen the mark they left behind/ Equine on glaciers over Indian Pass/ Probably the last to ever try it/ They were six brave sons of Clem/ He must have been so proud of them
Redeemed through the gospel of survival/ That they’d preach from merciless mountain peaks/ Men ordained by Mother Nature/ Though they’d fight with each other, there will never be a bond as strong as the band of brothers
The next 30 years, then 20 more/ They conquered the world from the Burnt Lake shore/ Just a way of life, not a game/ No way to tame the hunger to explore/ To be lost was nothing to fret/ It’s just a place they hadn’t named yet
Redeemed through the gospel of survival/ That they’d preach from merciless mountain peaks/ Men ordained by Mother Nature/ Though they’d fight with each other, there will never be a bond as strong…
When you questioned why they did it, they didn’t try to explain/ 'less ya been to Hell in winter you wouldn’t get it anyway
One heavenward slope, one hell of a climb/ With God to guide this expedition called life/ Like mountaineers, we are one team/ Courtney’s dream can be yours and mine/ To become more than our best/ Just like the Cowboys on Everest
Redeemed through the gospel of survival/ That they’d preach from merciless mountain peaks/ Men ordained by Mother Nature/ Willing to die for each other/ There will never be a bond as strong as the band of brothers
