[Narrative Intro]
A world war has many battlefields, but none were as hostile as the Alpine front. High up, men would haul artillery, dig caves, and constantly climb higher for a better position. Among all the dangers in this top of the world, few were as dangerous as the weather itself. Avalanches were constant. December the 13th, 1916, became known as the White Friday, when thousands of men were buried under the snow. Some of those men are still up there a hundred years later, frozen in ice and snow

[Verse 1]
I won't be coming home
I won't be going anywhere
I will guard this post forever
Here on the alpine slope, where I did my final stand I shall remain
Among the ice and snow that binds me to this mountain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A force of nature too strong, sent from above
Where spirits lead the way, the winds will never fade

[Chorus]
White Friday, I'll take the
Stairway to heaven
I'm sky high, when I die
I'll be immortal
Forever, I never
I won't return to
Blood mountain, I am the
Soldier of heaven

[Verse 2]
I saw the end of war
I watched the soldiers come and go
And I kept my watch forever
So many brave men fell in the battles that were raging down below
I have seen it all but none will hear my story

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All of these years I have been frozen in time
I cried for spring to come but here, winter remain

[Chorus]
White Friday, I'll take the
Stairway to heaven
I'm sky high, when I die
I'll be immortal
Forever, I never
I won't return to
Blood mountain, I am the
Soldier of heaven

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I always dreamed that I would, serve high above
Where spirits lead the way, the winds will never fade

[Chorus]
White Friday, I'll take the
Stairway to heaven
I'm sky high, when I die
I'll be immortal
Forever, I never
I won't return to
Blood mountain, I am the
Soldier of heaven

[Chorus]
White Friday, I'll take the
Stairway to heaven
I'm sky high, when I die
I'll be immortal
Forever, I never
I won't return to
Blood mountain, I am the
Soldier of heaven
