about

Chomolungma is the Tibetan name for Mount Everest. This song was inspired by watching a documentary about the Sherpas and how badly prepared many people are for the rigours of climbing it.

lyrics

No human can ever acclimatise to life up there
On the Goddess mother of mountains
Her slopes littered with corpses - what a bucket list
It’s a nightmare rainbow valley

Chomolungma
The fearsome peak 15
Chomolungma
Frozen and battered by jet streams
Chomolungma
Seduced so many there to climb
Chomolungma
Your victims frozen in time

This tent is rising above me like a cathedral
My mind crazed by the lack of oxygen
With this summit fever I can’t distinguish life from death
There’s not time to enjoy the view.
