Khazad-dûm - EpicFantasySongs

LYRICS: ------------- Beneath the tall peaks of stone and snow, Where hidden halls and the deep winds blow, The sons of Durin delved below, Through ancient roots in endless rows. Their hammers rang through vaulted night, Their forges burned with golden light. And every pillar, road, and room, Proclaimed the might of Khazad-dûm. Stone and steel, fire and gold, The glory of the days of old! Deep we delved, our hammers rung, In endless halls our songs were sung! Khazad-dûm! Khazad-dûm! But the deep halls echoed now with doom, In the depths beyond the oldest tombs! And from the dark the shadow came, Soon all was lost to fire and flame! They found the mithril’s silver fire, The treasure all the world desired, And richer grew their mountain throne, With wealth and glory all their own. The drums of labor filled the deep, Where unnamed things were laid to sleep, Yet still they dug through darkened stone, To claim the secrets yet unknown. Stone and steel, fire and gold, The glory of the days of old! Deep we delved, our hammers rung, In endless halls our songs were sung! Khazad-dûm! Khazad-dûm! But the deep halls echoed now with doom, In the depths beyond the oldest tombs! And from the dark the shadow came, Soon all was lost to fire and flame! Too deep they delved beneath the earth, Past veins of ore and gems of worth, Until they woke a shadowed flame, A terror old named Durin’s Bane. The Balrog rose in smoke and fire, And wrath consumed each hall and spire; The dwarves were slain, their kingdom doomed, And darkness claimed strong Khazad-dûm. Stone and steel, fire and gold, The glory of the days of old! Deep we delved, our hammers rung, In endless halls our songs were sung! Khazad-dûm! Khazad-dûm! But the deep halls echoed now with doom, In the depths beyond the oldest tombs! And from the dark the shadow came, Soon all was lost to fire and flame!
