High up in the cold grey mountains The rock is cruel and it bites clean through Flesh that hasn’t had a chance to Soft skin hardens twitches cold wind stabs Poking searching every crevice Filling every space with the chill air Insulating fur is what’s needed Thick animal skin wrap and protect Trapped and alone So far from home Animal or ice? Which will kill you first? Good warm boots to keep the feet dry So important to keep the feet dry Heat the air entering the lungs Long deep inhalations through the nose Do not panic, don’t breathe too hard Just move, don’t fall asleep in the cold Must protect the nose from frost bite So easy to lose the nose and digits Trapped and alone So far from home Animal or ice? Which will kill you first? You have to fight that much harder When the hallucinations begin Fever dreams bears things much larger Teeth claws insatiable hunger Once they get the taste for man flesh They will hunt for you relentlessly Fire flame is your only chance To fend off beasts that encircle you Trapped and alone So far from home Animal or ice? Which will kill you first?

Now surrounded by a pack of dire wolves death will be quick This young human creature unarmed all alone wolves lips they lick As the wolves pounce there’s a blinding flash of white light They are thrown back, fur singed and their eyes cauterized The wolves they scamper away yelping in pain Strange man with white staff now stands by the boy A magician he must be, a conjurer, of the dark arts “I have watched you many days now- why have you come alone and unarmed?” “I am alone and have never had any sword My tribe has been slaughtered by the Wild Men from the North. I hear tell of a great cache of weapons I seek the means to avenge my slaughtered brothers.” “I will lead you to the cave’s mouth - To retrieve the weapons you seek.” Now he hands him magic torch to light his way through the pitch black cave In the cave the boy faces perils without and in Many times he nearly dies as he works his way down Through chambers false he finally finds what he seeks Shield, armor and sword shimmering bright as sun on ice

The Boy is now a man 10 long years he has fought Gathered an army 1,000’s strong each of them a loyal friend Now on the slopes of the Northern Mountain finally it will all end The dead lay all around The wounded scream in pain Frost bite has taken limbs, Hunger has taken their lives Now with his elite guard, He makes his way toward the peak Leader of the Wild Men, he is a gargantuan At almost eight feet tall, Clad in furs and human scalps The father he lies dead The mother hacked apart The Boy yelling… something? Something? Something in his savage tongue That the Wild Man didn’t understand It was a vow of revenge To one day take the life Of each last one of them With each blow of the sword The Boy jumps out of the way Giant lunges at the Boy impales himself on the sword Seeing their leader slain Wild Men they lay down their arms No quarter is given slaughters each and every one
