You walk through a heavy gray door
Your boots hit the cold marble floor
The ceiling is hidden in haze
You wander through narrow stone maze
Climb to the velvet peak tonight
Wait for the sudden burst of light
Leave every heavy chain behind
Peace is the only thing you find
The air tastes like salt and old pine
You follow a thin silver line
The walls are too close to your skin
This is where the new days begin
You feel the thick pressure release
The noise of the city will cease
Your lungs open wide to the blue
The world looks entirely new
Climb to the velvet peak tonight
Wait for the sudden burst of light
Leave every heavy chain behind
Peace is the only thing you find
One step for the weight of the year
One step till the summit is near
The wind is a hand on your shoulder
The air is getting a bit colder
You stand where the jagged rocks meet
The clouds are a rug for your feet
The valley is small and so deep
While all of the tired souls sleep
Climb to the velvet peak tonight
Wait for the sudden burst of light
Leave every heavy chain behind
Peace is the only thing you find
Just let it go.
At the velvet peak.
Right here.
Stay a while.
