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
