Intrepid Lyrics

We sat beside the fire in a land far from home

Adventurous souls staving off the cold cutting to the bone

The brilliant snow whipped between us on the swirling wind

Stars alight framed a night that would never end

A steadfast ridge of piercing mountains enclosed us in its gaze

Rushing channels and serrated rocks in an icy liquid haze

The hellish trek behind us, we reflected on what we'd seen

Gathered close, he called a toast and told us of his dream

He said, "That's where I'm going – that's where I want to be"

"A long way from here is a sea so vast and wide

The time has come to conquer what lays beyond the roaring tide"

And at our feet he unfurled a map with breathtaking wonders charted carefully

"That's where I'm going – that's where I want to be"

Behind his dark and glistening eyes I saw a scarlet glow

He said "I have to keep moving on; I have to go"

His spirit warded off the bitter cold outside

He said "We'll meet again – this is not our final ride"

A sacred peace with nature forged a new path to explore

His ghostly silhouette lingered not a moment more

He disappeared beyond the glow of the winter sun

We raised a glass to our friend, his new journey begun

That's where I'm going – that's where I want to be

I'm on my way now, to where I will be free

That's where I'm going – that's where I want to be

I'm on my way now, to where I will be free
