"Snow In Summer..."

Snow In Summer is a folk song which tells the tale of the defeat of Mangar, having frozen Skara Brae with the spell of eternal winter.

Lyrics

A summer's day in Skara Brae became a wint'ry night.
Foes from below, blood on the snow,
Bright crimson on white.

A mad man's story of ancient glory brought death from far away,
For eldritch power did Mangar scour
The depths of Skara Brae.

Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart
Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart

'Gainst Mangar's horde we took up sword, and fought from dawn to dawn
Though we did win too many kin
Gave life to see them gone.

To Mangar's lair we took the snare, its hooks did end his reign.
Now there it lies if e'er he rise
To bring him low again.

Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart
Snow in summer, ice in my heart
Death's cold fingers tear us apart
