Ered Luin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the years of the trees, below Mount Dolmed awoke two fathers
Of the dwarven houses, Firebeards and Broadbeams
On its eastern slopes, delved halls and mansions the ancient Khazad
South Tumunzahar, North Gabilgathol
[Chorus]
Strong be the children of Mahal
Wrought in secret, known only to the one
Eru spared the folk of stone
Placed in slumber 'til after the First-Born come
[Verse 2]
In the Second Age of Morgoth chained came the stout Gonnhirrim
Into Beleriand bringing skill and much trade
But in Menegroth, with Elwë slain seized the Nauglamír then
It’s return to Nogrod would come to naught
[Chorus]
Strong be the children of Mahal
Wrought in secret, known only to the One
Eru spared the folk of stone
Placed in slumber 'til after the First-Born come
[Verse 3]
Back in the land, Ossiriand
Ambushed by Beren at Sarn Athrad
That which they plundered Doriath
The host of Nogrod would lose all they had
Silver, gold, and copper, iron cold
Shaped by the great smiths of old
Gear of war and treasures forged from ore
Cursed with the death of a lord
[Verse 4]
Mass destruction in the War Of Wrath
Dragon host led by Ancalagon
Fury of the Valar overthrew Angband
Homes in ruin the Khazad must move on
Few remain most migrate to Eriador
Below the mighty Misty Mountain walls
War Of The Dwarves & Orcs they avenge the death of Thror
And prosper in the realm of Thorin’s halls
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
And from Thoren's house, beneath [?], they journied fourth
In the years of the trees, below Mount Dolmed awoke two fathers
Of the dwarven houses, Firebeards and Broadbeams
On its eastern slopes, delved halls and mansions the ancient Khazad
South Tumunzahar, North Gabilgathol
Strong be the children of Mahal
Wrought in secret, known only to the one
Eru spared the folk of stone
Placed in slumber 'til after the First-Born come
In the Second Age of Morgoth chained came the stout Gonnhirrim
Into Beleriand bringing skill and much trade
But in Menegroth, with Elwë slain seized the Nauglamír then
It’s return to Nogrod would come to naught
Strong be the children of Mahal
Wrought in secret, known only to the One
Eru spared the folk of stone
Placed in slumber 'til after the First-Born come
Back in the land, Ossiriand
Ambushed by Beren at Sarn Athrad
That which they plundered Doriath
The host of Nogrod would lose all they had
Silver, gold, and copper, iron cold
Shaped by the great smiths of old
Gear of war and treasures forged from ore
Cursed with the death of a lord
Mass destruction in the War Of Wrath
Dragon host led by Ancalagon
Fury of the Valar overthrew Angband
Homes in ruin the Khazad must move on
Few remain most migrate to Eriador
Below the mighty Misty Mountain walls
War Of The Dwarves & Orcs they avenge the death of Thror
And prosper in the realm of Thorin’s halls
And from Thoren's house, beneath [?], they journied fourth
