Erebor

[Intro] Under stone and ancient hall Where hammers sing and shadows crawl We remember [Verse 1] We were born where the daylight dies Under roots of the world and iron skies Stone our cradle, fire our breath Songs of gold and songs of death Hammer sings on anvil scarred Names cut deep in granite hard Kings may fall and crowns may shatter Stone remembers what truly mattered I do not kneel to crown or throne My oath is stone, my blood is home Gold may tempt and steel may gleam But mountain keeps what we have been [Chorus] Baruk Khazâd!

Khazâd ai-mênu! Gabilgathol! Felak-gundu! By beard and blade, by fire and ore Erebor! Erebor! Evermore! [Outro] Fill the cups Sharpen the steel The mountain lives And so do we
