Lyrics & translation
Verse
The white peak calls my name.
Le pic blanc m'appelle par mon nom.
Thin air burns in my chest.
L'air rare brûle dans ma poitrine.
Grey clouds swallow the morning sun.
Les nuages gris avalent le soleil matinal.
The wind warns of the dark.
Le vent prévient de l'obscurité.
Chorus
Survival is a better story.
La survie est une meilleure histoire.
Pride is a heavy mountain stone.
L'orgueil est un lourd rocher de montagne.
I choose the path going down.
Je choisis le chemin qui descend.
Living to climb another day.
Vivre pour grimper un autre jour.
Verse
Ice grips the narrow frozen ledge.
La glace saisit l'étroit rebord gelé.
One step could be my last.
Un pas pourrait être mon dernier.
I let the summit dream go.
Je laisse partir le rêve du sommet.
Safety is the only true victory.
La sécurité est la seule vraie victoire.
Chorus
Survival is a better story.
La survie est une meilleure histoire.
Pride is a heavy mountain stone.
L'orgueil est un lourd rocher de montagne.
I choose the path going down.
Je choisis le chemin qui descend.
Living to climb another day.
Vivre pour grimper un autre jour.
Verse
The storm breaks behind my back.
La tempête éclate derrière mon dos.
Warm valley lights wait for me.
Les lumières chaudes de la vallée m'attendent.
A hero knows when to stop.
Un héros sait quand s'arrêter.
Breathing is worth more than glory.
Respirer vaut plus que la gloire.
Chorus
Survival is a better story.
La survie est une meilleure histoire.
Pride is a heavy mountain stone.
L'orgueil est un lourd rocher de montagne.
I choose the path going down.
Je choisis le chemin qui descend.
Living to climb another day.
Vivre pour grimper un autre jour.
