Contextual Analysis of "the summit" in Lyrics

before the dark prevails

only some will get to find

we climbed up the mountain

from the summit we watched it burn

i'm putting on my shoes

gloom

burning like a silver flame

and venus was her name

keep talking

keep shaming

snow and ice

the gravity

burning like a silver flame

and venus was her name

trying to find your place along the climb

i persist. knowing i'm breathing but there's no air

one mistake and you will drop

soon you'll face your final test

burning like a silver flame

and venus was her name

it flickered on his face

and waited at the bridge

and i will praise you when the mountain's in my way

so i will praise you in the valleys all the same

and i'm always left behind

they ask

sacred heart

a pantheon
