0279

the journey is planned and decided with a raise of the glass,
to travel to the north along the ridge of deaths pass,
then reach the summit of the mountain before the next night,
they leave through the doors of the castle with mountain in sight,
the women and children wave goodbye to their love,
as a child gives his father a hug while looking above,
heading out and down through the lands of the giant spider,
as the men walk their horses slow not being a rider,
down to the stream flowing strong after melted snow,
the men setup camp next to the powerful waters flow,
there they cast their lines into the water with hooked bait,
looking at the water all sitting and laying in wait,
their leader sits and unpacks all his things,
they take out the drinks as one man sings,
drunk into the night then passing out being sick,
the night suddenly becomes day really quick,
opening eyes with cracking necks and joints,
as no fish were caught adding to only what disappoints,
hungover the men stay unable to move through the day,
wanting the feelings to go the hell away,
finally bringing themselves to go back,
following while still feeling death along the track,
reaching the steps to the castle to see the waiting wives,
as they welcome the men back after thinking they risked their lives,
they didn't even make it to the bottom of the mountains climb,
just getting drunk and wasting their given time.
