MOUNTAIN

Intro] [Verse 1] I took the long way, no shortcut home Burned out bridges, climbed alone No one cheered, no flags were flown Just cracked hands, and breaking bones [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t rise on luck or fate I scraped through every locked gate I built this throne with scars and doubt While everyone else was counting me out [Chorus] I’m the king of the mountain, cold and clear No one's voice but mine up here I made my peace with pain and sound Ain’t no one gonna pull me down (Hook) King of the mountain [Verse 2] They said I’d fall, said I was done But I kept moving, one to one Every loss became a tool Every setback taught the rules [Pre-Chorus] You learn more when you're on your knees Than staring down from easy streets I don’t owe this to a crowd I earned it quiet, I earned it loud [Chorus] I’m the king of the mountain, built from grit No silver crown, just fire and spit I talk with wind, I sleep in stone I found a way to stand alone (Hook) King of the mountain [Bridge] (Spoken word) I remember every crack, every slip.. Every time my mind said quit! And I kept climbing, broke but proud Now I breathe where the thunder’s loud! [Guitar solo] [Epic guitar solo — bold, melodic, and full of attitude. Bluesy phrasing with space to breathe, big bends, wah and delay, and a touch of outer-space swagger. Should feel like a victory cry from the top of a mountain — triumphant, gritty, and unforgettable. Think late-'70s arena rock meets cinematic glory, fit for a lone king standing above the world] [Final Chorus][Full band] I’m the king of the mountain! Don’t need praise Just the silence and the weight I raised If I fall, I’ll fall my way But no one takes my mountain! Not today! [Outro] [Fade to end] No one Takes my mountain I’m the king! I’m the king! (Screams) I’m the king of the mountain! [End]
