Familiar routines are safer And habits grow hard to break Some choose to forego adventure But that is a grave mistake Embrace the wide world around you The Hinterwilds call your name When wondrous things surround you, What more could you hope to claim? Wild and free, wild and free Light up the fires of your desires Go there and see In more stable lands, your every dream gets twisted by various schemes But up north it's given: Cold River's livin' Wild and free They're people besieged by danger Threats lurk around every bend In touch with deep truths of nature: Grow strong or you'll meet your end My troubles had once seemed vivid Before dodging swords thrice my size Now things that used to make me livid Are nothing to my retrained eyes Wild and free, wild and free Cold River style, can't stop my smile Live perilously It's what people seek but rarely find No deep concerns or cares in mind No obligations, no machinations Wild and free Wild and free Their ways are so breezy, everything's freezing Literally Even the bounties there pay more Up in that town, they know the score When you have spirit, no need to fear it Wild and free The ice seems so nice, the cold blows so bold But just venture out and that's when you'll know They've formed all their hordes, their packs on attacks Prepare to defend your soul As war hits the floor, the bands take command With swords, staves, and boards in everyone's hands And when the wyrm lands, you might need new plans To just watch Myharl go Wild and free, wild and free Hear the wargs howling, hinterboars growling Music to me What else would you hunt, some weak old lich? Seek a real challenge, scratch your itch See disirs flying, you might be dying Wild and free Berserker blades swinging, deadly skalds singing Wild and free Oozes dividing, shield maidens riding Cannibals biting, disciples reciting Draugrs off stomping, mastodons romping Wild and free Mutants and golems, wendigos roaming Wild and free Valravns staring, angargeists glaring Every day's thrilling up where it's chilling Battles and clashing, wind always lashing Wild and free
