 LYRICS:

        Storm is getting colder
        In the place of the frozen sun
        Alone on the mountainside
        Breathing the clearest winds 
        
        Winds are everblowing 
        Blowing off the glaciers
        Snow descent on the valley
        Into the high impassable drifts

        Mountains of might...

        So rightly I am watching 
        These mountains that I know
        Forever standing here
        These mountains northern face

        Mountains of might...

        Icicled peeks as far as the eye can see
        I will reign this place alone
        Cold winds blew into the valley wall 
        Snow was deeper there
        
        Storm is getting colder
        In the place of the frozen sun
        Alone on the mountainside
        Breething the clearest winds 

        Mountains of might...
