Summit Synthetics - Peak District Plight (Extended) Lyrics

In the heart of England
Where the wild things roam
There's a place they call the Peak
Where climbers find their home
But they say
"Beware
It's a rocky affair"
Sport climbing in these parts
It ain't for the faint of heart

Well
I'm lacing up my boots
Got chalk on my hands
Gonna conquer these cliffs
Gonna make my stand
But they say it's tough
And they ain't bluffin'
The Peak District
It's a test of will
It's a mountain climber's suffering

Oh
In the Peak District
It's a difficult climb
But I won't back down
I ain't runnin' this time
I'll face the challenge
I'll push through the pain
In these classic rock climbs
I'll stake my claim

The gritstone whispers secrets
As I toe the line
Every crag, every edge
A challenge to define
The wind howls warnings
Through the valleys below
But I'm drawn to these heights
Where only climbers know

With every hold I grip
And every step I take
I feel the weight of history
In every move I make
Legends carved in stone
Echo through the mist
In the Peak District's embrace
I persist, I insist

Oh
In the Peak District
Where the echoes resound
I'll carve my own path
On this rugged ground
With resolve unyielding
And dreams burning bright
I'll conquer these cliffs
In the fading light

Through rain and through shine
I'll climb to the sky
With the spirits of climbers
Who've dared to defy
For the Peak District's plight
Is a challenge I embrace
In its rocky embrace
I find my grace

Oh
In the Peak District
Where the wild things roam
I'll write my story
In stone and in foam
With every ascent
I reclaim my might
In the heart of England
In the Peak District's plight
