From afar, a mountain comes in my sight,
rocky and steep, it's head up in the clouds high.

I know that it is my destiny
but the path is not easy.

Infested with dragons and death,
a cloud of despair rules up above.

A war-torn vale lies in between
and a river dry to it's teeth.

Blood has colored the vale red
and the ghosts of the fallen roam still.

Many before I have tried to reach
but their bones and dust is all I see.

Perhaps I shall be the one
to sit on the throne.

Perhaps I will be another one
who turns to stone, bites the dust.

But with that in mind, I press on
because there is no choice,
there is no second chance,
I press on, because I must.
