Miyanoura!
How many years until legend becomes myth?
The howl of the night deafened by the wind
Sacred Mountain is no place for a man they say
But it’s from this man I’m trying to get away
I got a voice in my head that says, “Fuck it—Ascend!”
This ghost in my head that says, “Fuck it—Ascend!”
Miyanoura!
So I step out my door and I begin
No turning back this lunatic is diving in
The gnarl of the roots and trees brings a new meaning to gnarly
Here’s to finding what was missing on the mountainside
Yakusugi: oldest living beings
Came here to live, shun the world below and never ever die
Miyanoura!
How could you climb and not come to find
“That man I was is not me!”
Leaving that life behind
I’m never descending
