Summit Fever

A lack of oxygen under their skullcaps

Thin is the air they breathe

Summit fever grips all of their climbing souls

Summit fever grips all of their climbing souls

Hypoxic delusions upon the descent

Crowns of thunderhead clouds

Summit fever, cause for cut-off time ignored

Summit fever, cause for cut-off time ignored

To understand means trembling

Heart rate has learned

Blood turns to sludge, capillaries die

Hemorrhaging behind

Frozen eyelid walls
