White Mountain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thin hung the web
Like a trap in a cage
The fox lay asleep in his lair
Fang's frantic paws
Told the tale of his sin
Far off the chase shrieked revenge

[Chorus]
Outcast, he trespassed
Where no wolf may tread
The last sacred haunt of the dead
He learnt of a truth
Which only one wolf may know
The sceptre and crown of the king
Howling for blood
One-eye leads on the pack
Plunging through forest and snowstorm

[Verse 2]
Steep rose the ridge
Ghostly peaks climbed the sky
Fang sped through jungles of ice
Hard on his trail
One-eye drew from the pack
An old hero conquered by none

[Chorus]
Steep, far too steep
Grew the pathway ahead
Descent was the only escape
A wolf never flees
In the face of his foe
Fang knew the price he would pay
One-eye stood before him
With the crown upon his head
Sceptre raised to deal the deadly blow

[Verse 3]
Fang, son of Great Fang
The traitor we seek
The laws of the brethren say this
That only the king
Sees the crown of the gods
And he, the usurper, must die

[Chorus]
Snarling, he tore
At the throat of his foe
But Fang fought the hero in vain
Dawn saw the white mountain
Tinted with red
Never would the crown leave again
One-eye hid the crown
And with laurels on his head
Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace
