Lyrics
Intro – deep cave ambience, rhythmic anvils, dwarven choir humming
Hear the anvils ring…
Hear the mountain sing…
This is the pride of stone.
Verse 1 – heavy groove, hammer rhythm
In halls of granite, old and wide
Where ancient kings once forged with pride
The runes still glow on iron bright
Guiding every forge tonight
Beards of grey and beards still young
Share the craft our fathers sung
Hammer falls and sparks appear
Old runes carved in shining gear
Pre-Chorus – choir rising
Past and future side by side
Both are dwarven craft and pride
Chorus – massive dwarven choir
Hammer, rune and gear and flame
Every age the mountain’s name
Ancient craft and engines new
Both are forged in mountain true
Raise the steel and let it ring
Hear the songs the anvils sing
From the past to what will be
This is dwarven mastery
Verse 2 – driving folk metal rhythm
Old forge masters shape the blade
Young smiths build machines of trade
Steam and magic start to blend
New designs the runes defend
Runesmith chants beside the flame
While pistons roar in iron frame
Dragon fire and turning steel
Both the mountain’s strength reveal
Pre-Chorus – drums building
Stone remembers every spark
Lighting past and future dark
Chorus – big choir
Hammer, rune and gear and flame
Every age the mountain’s name
Ancient craft and engines new
Both are forged in mountain true
Raise the steel and let it ring
Hear the songs the anvils sing
From the past to what will be
This is dwarven mastery
Bridge – epic dwarven chant
Old wisdom guides the hammer’s fall
New thunder answers in the hall
From rune to gear, from flame to steel
The heart of dwarves will never kneel
Breakdown – anvil rhythm, dwarven chant
Hammer!
Rune!
Gear!
Forge!
Final Chorus – triumphant choir
Hammer, rune and gear and flame
Mountain strong in craft and name
Ancient ways and wonders new
Both are dwarven through and through
Raise the steel and let it ring
Let the mountain proudly sing
Past and future side by side
All are forged in dwarven pride
Outro – fading anvils, deep choir
Stone endures…
Craft evolves…
And the forge sings on.
