White Mountain

Genesis

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.



Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread,

The last sacred haunt of the dead.

He learnt of the 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 forests and snow-storm.



Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky,

Fang sped through the jungles of ice.

Hard on his tale, One-eye drew from the pack

An old hero conquered by none.



Steep, for 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.



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 -



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.
