Dead Mountain

Let me tell you a tale of snow and death, a tale of the dead mountain Ten travelled on, for nine a new home, now they'll never be forgotten Climb towards the peak through the ice and the snow, as darkness now falls and surrounds The nine there gone, they rest in the snow, yet the tale still lingers on So I'll tell you a tale of a demon, a beast, the one to call the mountain it's home An apparition, a killer, beyond words what I've seen, now it stalks the nine as they roam Closer and closer, it stalks its prey. for survival, protection or fun? A lone breath, a heartbeat, in the tent they lay, now there's nowhere to run Fight for survival in this bitter land A Battle against death and the cold The dead mountain consumes every man And the tale still lies in the snow Panic! Fear sets instinct to motion, escape before death takes its toll Out through the tent, unprepared, alone, as each breath is consumed by the cold Closer and closer the mist closes in, hurry before it engulfs you Hide in the forest, a fire for warmth, moonlight reflected in the dew Fight for survival in this bitter land A Battle against death and the cold The dead mountain consumes every man And the tale still lies in the snow This is the tale, a valley drenched in blood, this tale of Dyatlov pass The nine, they're scattered, separated in the snow, yet the hunt still carries on One by one, hunted down, no mark on the corpses to see Eternal pain, internal bleed, rupture, be one with me Suffocate, annihilate, through the mist, I'm everywhere you go As I lay thee down, rest peacefully, slumber, two months under snow Their Fight for survival in that bitter land They lost against death and the cold The dead mountain consumes every man Yet the tale still lies in the snow This is the tale, a mountain cloaked in death, this tale of Dyatlov pass The nine now slumber, deep in the snow, yet the mystery still lingers on
