She has learned the words to draw the poison harmless from the viper's fangs, she is going home.She has learned the map that shows the turnings of the ruined road, she is going home,she is going to possess her inheritance, she is on her way home: she has been long away, she has been lost, but now she is the Queen of Ice and Snow.
When she walks that road she must touch nothing, there are snakes like sticks. She is going home. When she walks that road, oh, miss no turnings, there are stakes and pits. She is going home,
home where she has never been in a land of ice and snow, on her way home, she has been long away, she has been lost, but now she is the Queen of Ice and Snow.
She has worn the map next to her skin as long as she has memories, she is going home; in the book she read words to dull the weapons of her enemies. She is going home,
she is going to possess her inheritance, she is on her way home: she has been long away, she has been lost, but now she is the Queen of Ice and Snow.
When the road bore her across the borders of her country, she cried out, I am going home. When she saw her breath hang before her like her life she cried out. She is going home,
home where she has never been, in a land of ice and snow, on her way home, she has been long away, she has been lost, but now she is the Queen of Ice and Snow.
There was no one there. Her footsteps crackled like a brushfire in the snow, she is going home. There is no one there, she pulls her clothes around her but cannot keep warm. She is going home,
she has come to possess her inheritance, on her way home: book and map together lie at her feet, they testify she is the Queen of Ice and Snow.
