After putting one zebazilion hours into RimWorld my heart started craving some new experiences. I remembered how somebody recommended me dwarf fortress, so I bought it on Christmass sale. And oh boy, this game is good! It has a different... flavour from Rimworld, but it's the same settlement simmulator. But there are WAY more people. And a bit more interesting trade. Oh, and you MUST produce alchohol, unless you want for your dwarves to move and work slowly. Losing is fun and that's why I called this song "A new Dawn" So, I like this game, there are a lot to learn, but the overall experience inspired me to write this song. Hope you enjoy it! Anyways, here's the lyrics: New Dawn Ancestors sing stories About the adventures The glory of conquests That we set in stone Now it's our turn For our own foundation We're setting off To explore the unknown! The grand expedition Through rivers and mountains Has lead us to places Of hardships and mirth Together we stand Our work is our prowess With pickaxe in hand We Strike the earth! ______________________________________________ Pre-chorus: Strike the earth! We're rising to a new beginning Proove your worth! In the depths of darkness dwarves are singing Mine, mine, dig! Gems and riches we will haul Fight, build, drink! Our fortress will never fall! ______________________________________________ Chorus: Inside our hearts lies a new dawn To mountains and caves we are drawn We dig among the water and flames The mines, they are calling our names! ______________________________________________ Our enemy is massive and strong But we will not hide Dwarves are fighters We've dug through the dirt and the soil To claim what is rightfully ours Even through hunger and thirst We will fight Tooth and nail In the earthly cradle we are born Never destined to fail! ______________________________________________ Pre-chorus: Strike the earth! We're rising to a new beginning Proove your worth! In the depths of darkness dwarves are singing Mine, mine, dig! Gems and riches we will haul Fight, build, drink! Our fortress will never fall! ______________________________________________ Chorus: Inside our hearts lies a new dawn To mountains and caves we are drawn We dig among the water and flames The mines, they are calling our names! ______________________________________________ The winter has come Our rivers have frozen The halls bear no sound We don't count our losses Ghosts in the deep Have forgotten their names We put them to sleep In wooden graves The ever-green fields Are changing their shade Like lights in the night They are beginning to fade The promised future Was ravaged and stolen A final sigh: The fortress has... ______________________________________________ Chorus: Inside our hearts lies a new dawn To mountains and caves we are drawn We dig among the water and flames The mines, they are calling our names! ______________________________________________
