Under Mountain Shadows (Dwarven song) Lyrics

In the heart of stone and ember

'Neath the mountain's ancient face

Dwell the souls of forgotten eras

Guardians of the sacred space

Echoes of the hammers falling

On the anvil, fate is shaped

Songs of gloom and glory calling

In the deep, where dreams are draped

Hear us, O night, in your vast, starless cloak

Our voices, though weary, in echoes invoke

The tales of our fathers, and their steadfast gaze

Under mountain shadows, through endless days

Veins of gold in darkness weaving

Greed of surface world's disdain

Mournful eyes, in silence grieving

For the kin we lost in vain

Steel and stone, our will embody

In the gloom, our hearts we fortify

Bound by blood, a solemn sodality

Underneath the stone sky

Hear us, O night, in your vast, starless cloak

Our voices, though weary, in echoes invoke

The tales of our fathers, and their steadfast gaze

Under mountain shadows, through endless days

In the dark, our song ascends

O'er the peaks, where shadow blends

With the earth, our spirits merge

An operatic funeral dirge

So we stand, in halls of sorrow

Dwarven hearts will fear no morrow

Under mountain shadows, we claim our part

In the depths, our homeland, etched in our heart
