Verse 1
In search of glory they strode
Away from the homeland that they owed
In search of glory none was found
Only shadows dancing over snowy mounds
They fell asleep their backs were turned
And then the snow with blood was churned
Through foreign wastelands blasted with ice
Entrusted fates to loaded dice
Chorus
As midnight struck, the screaming started
Trapped souls of, the dead departed
Death’s cruel servants, had them trapped
That tundra’s light, held them rapt
Verse 2
Released from flesh the soldiers floated
Heavy burden that had controlled them
But in the distance shadows wailed
And they realised they had failed
Bright lights held them rapt
On that tundra they were trapped
A spectral voice could be heard singing
This purgatory is just the beginning
Chorus
Verse 3
Millennia later when flesh had faded
No trace left on that frozen wasteland
Massacre of mortals the struggle within
No fading screams except on the wind
Heart of battle those cries won’t die
Souls of lost just left behind
For those who bled laid down their lives
Forever cursed white mountain side
Chorus
