about

The White Stag is a magical creature from Welsh mythology. Reportedly if you catch him, he will grant you wishes. In this story, the stag is being hunted by the evil Queen Jadis who would use the wishes for evil. Our reluctant hero gets caught up in the chase and narrowly escapes to Erewhon (nowhere...).
==================================================

lyrics

Snow clouding my sight, as a stag colored white
Bound across my path and far into the night
But the moon was ablaze, and shown down his pale gaze
Beams guiding me like lanterns glowing bright
"Gotta catch him if I can!" and towards the beast I ran
Wishes granted if I tamed him was my plan

Coming round the bend, this chase seemed to never end
I heard a sound that gave me such a fright
For bursting into sight, a gleaming sleigh in white
(The) Snow Queen whipping horses screaming into the night

The Snow Queen Jadis:

"Catch that filthy beast, and we'll have ourselves a feast
Wishes granted our evil reign will never ever cease!"

On and on, to Erewhon, On and on to Erewhon, On and on

Leaping quickly back towards me, the stag did smartly turn and flee
Yet gave away my presence, to the Queen
Thinking fast I ran beside, and on his back I jumped bestride
We raced together pell mell into the night
"A wish do grant to me, let's quit this place!" I plea
And elsewhere we went so suddenly...

On and on, to Erewhon, On and on to Erewhon, On and on to Erewhon
On and on
