#55 Down the Waterfall

[Verse]

Roar of the falls, mist in my face

Gunther steps up to the edge of the race

No turning back, no room for fear

Teal Lake’s calling – the moment is here!

[Verse]

Ledges like knives in the thunder and spray

One slip, one miss, and I’m swept away

Paws grip the rock, heart hammers loud

Bottom’s a ghost in the watery shroud

Jump after jump, the mist closes in

Smaller the holds, bigger the sin

Hours bleed out, legs start to shake

But quitting’s a word this Rottweiler won’t take

[Pre-chorus]

Balance is everything – learned it the hard way

Dreams taught me falling, taught me to stay

Magnus is waiting, I can’t be too late

One more leap forward, defy my own fate!

[Chorus]

Down the waterfall, I’m charging through the storm!

Gravity’s screaming, but my spirit stays warm!

Ledge to ledge, I’m fighting the drop

Gunther the warrior – I ain’t gonna stop!

Feel the thunder, taste the spray

Every muscle burning, but I’m breaking away!

From the top of the world to the mud at the base

I’m coming for you, Magnus – I’ll win this race!

[Verse]

Six hours deep, drenched to the bone

Visibility gone, I’m climbing alone

Tiny perches, slick as deceit

One wrong shift and my story’s complete

Hind legs slip, gravity wins the fight

Tumbling fast through the endless night

Memories flash – siblings, Mitchell, the pack

Payge’s smile, Boris’s blow – no turning back

[Pre-chorus]

This journey’s for him, the one who saved me

Can’t let him down, gotta break free

Fall or fly, I’m giving it all

Rottweiler heart – unbreakable wall!

[Chorus]

Down the waterfall, I’m charging through the storm!

Gravity’s screaming, but my spirit stays warm!

Ledge to ledge, I’m fighting the drop

Gunther the warrior – I ain’t gonna stop!

Roar in my ears, fire in my veins

Through mist and madness, I shatter the chains!

From the brink of the end to the light down below

I’m rising again – watch this legend grow!

[Bridge]

THUMP – silence hits, world stands still

Am I gone? Is this the final thrill?

Eyes snap open, mud under paws

Just a few feet – I broke every law!

Laugh breaks free, wild and raw

I’m alive! I’m here! I conquered it all!

[Chorus]

Down the waterfall – I charged and I won!

Fell through the darkness, rose with the sun!

Gunther the brave, no fear in my soul

Balance and heart – that’s how I roll!

Magnus is waiting, Teal Lake in sight

I’m battered, I’m bruised, but I’m burning bright!

From humble beginning to warrior’s call

Gunther keeps charging – I’ll never fall!

Waterfall warrior… yeah, that’s my name

Through mist and thunder – I finished the game!
