Efflix 7. Climb the Frozen Crags of Uranus

Hold the line — I’m holding mine

Pale green world turned on its side
Glass below and dark above
One step higher, one breath slow
The frozen ridge begins to move
Climb the frozen crags of Uranus
Hold the line and follow me
Every step against the silence
Every breath a victory
No flag waiting at the summit
No one watching from below
We came here to trust each other
Not to conquer ice and snow

The storm erases crawler lights
The compass spins without a north
A fracture runs beneath your feet
Your shadow disappears from view
The cable tightens in my hands
I drive the anchor through the ice
No machine can pull you back —
There is only you and I
Climb the frozen crags of Uranus
Hold the line and follow me
Every step against the silence
Every breath a victory
No flag waiting at the summit
No one watching from below
We came here to trust each other
Not to conquer ice and snow

The cable sings, the ridge gives way
You find the wall, I take the strain
The whole world turns beneath our feet
But neither one of us releases
Climb the frozen crags of Uranus
Hold the line and follow me
Every scar across the silence
Marks the place where we believed
No flag waiting at the summit
Only daylight through the snow
We came here to trust each other —
That is all we need to know
Hold the line
I’m holding mine
