lyrics

Way up in the Rockies near the Mirror Plateau
Roamed a lone female with a mask of black
She hunted hard and killed on her own
Drifted those mountains and avoided the packs

Settled in the valley with a rangy black mate
With a family to feed and not enough help
Struck out on her own on the dangerous trail
A fearless hunter, she brought down the elk

Loved by many and hated by some
Forced from the land where many once roamed
Ranchers and hunters and others would seek
To bring down the alpha roaming those peaks

With a pack of her own they struggled to survive
Fought through the winter and marauding packs
Through it all they managed to thrive
She roamed and hunted but she always came back

One day she wandered far from safe bounds
Out to Wyoming where danger would lay
A distant rifle would bring her down
The fearless Alpha had seen her last day

Loved by many and hated by some
Forced from the land where many once roamed
Ranchers and hunters and others would seek
To bring down the alpha roaming those peaks

Late at night along the Mirror Plateau
Once was heard a lonesome sound
The pack’s moved on and are heard no more
They are wary travelers over dangerous ground
