"In his wake he leaves scorched earth and work in vain;
Smoke drifts up behind him - he is free again,
Free to run before the onslaught of a deadly foe,
Leaving nothing fit for pillage, hardly leaving home.
It's far too late to turn, unless it's to stone.
Charging madly forward, tracks across the snow,
Wind screams madness to him, ever on he goes
Leaving spoor to mark his passage, trace his weary climb.
Cross the moor and make the headland -
Stumbling, wayward, blind.
In the end his footprints extend as one single line."
