The Mercy Racers Songtext
von Excalion

When the winter closed off the ocean
The Bering Sea, year twenty-five
Disease hit Alaskan coastland
The town of Nome fought for its life

In the winds of the north
No airplane could fly
Brave men with their dogs came forth
"It′s up to us, let us try"

We are the final hope, through ice and snow we go
Final hope to outrun Wendigo
We go on and on, we will not turn around
We're the ancient union, man and beast
Pushing on through northern sound

When the winter showed them no mercy
Men of Northlands, they all stood tall
From Fairbanks to Western Sea
Six hundred miles of trail


Along Yukon to bring relief
To relay an appeal

We are the final hope, through ice and snow we go
Final hope to outrun Wendigo
We go on and on, we will not turn around
We′re the ancient union, man and beast
Pushing on through northern sound

In five and half days, vials of the cure
In their sled
Through blackest of the nights, lead dogs led
The cruelest of miles, leaving a memory


We are the final hope, through ice and snow we go
Final hope to outrun Wendigo
We go on and on, we will not turn around
We're the ancient union, man and beast
Pushing on through northern sound
We are the final hope, through ice and snow we go
Final hope to outrun Wendigo
We go on and on, we will not turn around
We're the ancient union, man and beast
Pushing on through northern sound
