Kathy Mar - Howling Mountain lyrics

Up on Howling Mountain

Underneath the sky

They are forging magic metal

As the torn clouds scream and fly

Chorus: For Fenris must be chained

Or Chaos will be king

Up on Howling Mountain

Within a bubbling vat

They put the first ingredient

The footfall of a cat

Up on Howling Mountain

To seal a wolven weird

They next put in the cauldron

A gentle woman's beard

Up on Howling Mountain

With many a magic word

They throw into the mixture

The spittle of a bird

Up on Howling Mountain

With chant and lyre and flute

The sorcerors are shouting as

They drop in mountain's root

Up on Howling Mountain

As stars above them stare

They circle 'round the fiery pot

And add the nerve of bear

Up on Howling Mountain

With many a prayer and wish

They toss the last ingredient

The silent breath of fish

Up on Howling Mountain

A god is less one hand

But Fenris rages in his chains

And peace is on the land

Chorus: For Fenris must be chained

Or Chaos will be king

And Chaos is no king

For Fenris has been chained
