The Winterway

Awakened by the hands of Autumn
 The hands which made me see
 Straight in the eyes of Winter
 Was a shadow, vague yet deep
 A creature, spine of the essence
 Drifting in the wind, clad as Sin
 The force behind my cause
 The hands that fold me within
 Awakened beneath a restless sky
 By mountains which darken the day
 Shadows, spiritual dust of my fathers
 - The heart and soul of my way -
 A creature, spine of the essence
 Drifting in the wind, clad as Sin
 The force behind my cause
 Grim token of the path within
 The Winterway
 Leads me through the coldest night
 The Winterway
 To be walked by all men of might
 Behold the ice on the big seas
 The summits and the naked trees
 Ashore the bay through the rough Winterway
