Cold
Which way should I turn and go
Into the wind and the driving snow
Across the moor, barren and white
One against nature, alone and slight
The howling wind displaces the white
Dark sky chases away the light
Visions of home invade my mind
Cloud my thoughts my way to find
Temperatures falling, birds leave the sky
Painful tears freeze in my eye
Trees silhouetted against the scene
An eery image and looking mean
Castle walls in sight and reachable
Those within are not impeachable
Hostility is a thing of the past
For mankind it did not last
A roaring fire warm and beckoning
Help determine the final reckoning
Survival now is my goal
And to save this mortal soul
