Nidhoggr

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
