Dance of the Axes

Down, down, down, where the sunlight will drown

And the runes are burning on the frozen crown

Down, so down in the heart of the stone

Is reliving a king sitting on the throne

Deep, deep, deep where the spirits reside

They forever are bound to the dwarven mine

Deep, so deep where the torches dim

They rejoin in the battle with a glorious hymn

We stand together and raise the banners

We brace for battle with the dance of the axes

It's now or never, we'll fight forever

And join together in the dance of the axes

In the dance of the axes

Far, far, far, way beyond in the dark

All the shades of the past showing off their mark

Far, so far from the surface revealed

They'll be dancing forever in black, concealed

Long, long, long is the time they will wait

From the dawn of the eras to their journey made

Long, so long since they were all gone

And again, like brothers, they will be reborn

We stand together and raise the banners

We brace for battle with the dance of the axes

It's now or never, we'll fight forever

And join together in the dance of the axes

In the dance of the axes

When shadows fall

Together in the twilight, we heed the call

The darkness shall not drive us away

When shadows fall

Together in the twilight, we'll fight once more

The flame of war will show us the way forevermore

Rise, rise, rise from the ashes of old

In the glow of the flame when the story's told

Rise, so rise, like the winter awakes

With the voice of the heroes, all the mountain shakes

Sing, sing, sing in the mist of time

From a tale to a legend, and again to rhymes

Sing, so sing with this old magic song

All the spirits are coming from where they belong

In the dance of the axes

In the dance of the axes

In the dance of the axes

When shadows fall

Together in the twilight, we heed the call

The darkness shall not drive us away

When shadows fall

Together in the twilight, we'll fight once more

The flame of war will show us the way forevermore

And we're fighting forevermore

Long was the time before this moment arrived

As we were looking far away, far was the day

When reunited again, we'd fight once more

Long was the time before this moment arrived

As we were looking far away, far was the day

When reunited again, we'd fight

When shadows fall

Together in the twilight, we heed the call

The darkness shall not drive us away

When shadows fall

Together in the twilight, we'll fight once more

The flame of war will show us the way forevermore
