From the thrash
of blinding snow
returns the bearers of steel
Arriving at threshold of their ances-tral domain
A sight awaits that stops their frozen breath.....
Ruins,
ruins from valley to hills
Shadowed mountains weep
as the smoke clouds their image
Embers
the remains of their homeland
Destroyed by forces unknown
witness to misery
The men take up arms once more
As a wandering king informs them
Of a beast horrific
and merciless
Weary though they were, they swore to fight once more
Truding onward with courage melting to hatred
By lead of the scheming count,
whose heart elsewhere sought
Corralling them
blindly to demise
With promise of riches beyond compare
They Traversed into depths they would not dare
He sent the men -into the dark abyss-


The men Took up arms Again
For a wandering king misled them
As the beasts were horrific and merciless
Weary though they were, they swore to fight once more
Trudging onward with hatred turning to cold death
Before they could grab the
Shiny elfin gold
From the center of the mountain
Came beasts and horror untold
They set upon the doomed band of men
Their clubs and axes, let htem know
but the one who reached the riches was count reginald
No escape
All are doomed here
Good mans blood is spilt
All save reginald
First to fall was of young blood
Oh few would survive
Zigur the bard lost his wits
And in fright he fled outside
Screaming for vengeance at the treacherous count
The last of brave men gave chase
But the beasts had overwhelmed them
I'm sure they savored the
Taste
Vision fading
all are dead here
Frostbite holding
Saga ending
