The Gauntlet of Cader Idris
Bring me your white shoes
Bring me your fashion footwear
Bring me your jeans
I’ll make sure there’s mud
I’ll make sure there are rocks galore
I’ll make sure of rain, to really
weigh
you
down
Bring me your hopes for majestic views
Bring me your fastest attempts
Bring me your four legged friends
I’ll bring you cloud, mist, wind
I’ll bring you mudslides, wet rock, trips
I’ll bring you sharp stones for precious paws
Bring me your hopes and dreams
Bring me your sweat and tears
Bring me your blood and soul
