I climb. Although a harsh wind and sleet sweeps   these hills, my temperament remains steady. Although the path is treacherously steep   I have been thoughtful, I have come ready. The footfall here is few and far between   and some who came to conquer, could not cope. As I push on past the point where they've been,   I look into a mist that holds my hope. Joy lies beyond a helm wind of despair   and must be battled with to be surpassed. I will prevail here knowing that it's there.   I’ll conquer fell and fall so I’ll be passed to where tranquillity abounds below,   throughout the valleys of the rain shadow.

Helm Wind
I climb. Although a harsh wind and sleet sweeps   these hills, my temperament remains steady. Although the path is treacherously steep   I have been thoughtful, I have come ready. The footfall here is few and far between   and some who came to conquer, could not cope. As I push on past the point where they've been,   I look into a mist that holds my hope. Joy lies beyond a helm wind of despair   and must be battled with to be surpassed. I will prevail here knowing that it's there.   I’ll conquer fell and fall so I’ll be passed to where tranquillity abounds below,   throughout the valleys of the rain shadow.
