Can't believe no one ever posted the lyrics to this song, it's beautifully written.
About a group of young men who decide to climb up what they thought was a hill with hopes of finding gold at the top, but it turns out this "hill" was actually a very tall mountain. Despite the size of this mountain and the vast amount of time and energy it would take to climb it, they were convinced there was gold at the top.
The climb takes years to finish, the climbers apparently wasting their youthful lives to climb this mountain.
By the time they reach the top, they are old and drained of their energy from the climb, and never finding the gold they were so sure they would find.
At first they pretty much think "Well, what now" and instead of wasting the rest of their lives climbing down, they decide to treasure what they find on the peak, and ultimately dying with their "Gold."

Just my interpretation.
