Wind whipping like a tornado
All is still in the valley below
Cuts through you like a torpedo
Claims its territory above the snow
And all of these little ions
Attaching themselves to our clothes and our hair
Shocking us with their phenomenon
Making us all to aware
That the summer is just a flash
In the cruel pan of time
And the moment we start to relax
The whole world realigns.
And the brutal beauty of winter
So wild, so fierce, so pure
So deadly and unforgiving
Like some jealous god of yore
Is nothing compared to Orion
What a glorious sight to behold
Shining above the mountain
Like a beacon of hope...
