The Arkenstone

In ages past the maker
Lay me down in the mountain
Created light within me
The Hands of a King to Daylight bring
Ten Thousand Sparks of Rainbow Light
Tried in the Fire of a Dragons Might
The Heart of the Mountain I remain
The precious stone they famed me
Ten Thousand Sparks of Rainbow Light
Saved at last by the Thief in the Night
On the Heart of the King I remain
The Arkenstone they named me

The Bladesmith’s Prayer
02:50
|
|||
I breakfast with the sun every morning
Stoke the fire, wake the forge
Tie my braided hair, don my apron
Tremble under tools handed down by the fathers
The hammer feels heavy on my hands today
I bow my heart and remember to pray
Oh Maker of the Earth and the Children
Hammer of the One, hear my cry
Forge in me a heart of molten rock
Until the Seven Fathers rise
I seek not seven hoards
Nor the seven rings
Nor greed of gold that they bring
Give my arm great strength
Bid my anvil sing
Let this blade to the orc
Vengeance bring
I supper with this song every evening
A fireside ale, time to rest the forge
Loose my braided beard, hang my apron
I brood upon the craft handed down by the fathers
The hammer felt light in my hand today
I thank the Maker for this Dwarven Blade

Lúki's Beard

Well oh, Luki’s beard is long and grey
Ha, me dwarves!
Luki’s beard is long and grey,
The prettiest beard in Durin’s Day
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
Well oh, Luki’s axe was fine for cutting,
Ha, me dwarves!
Luki's axe was fine for cutting,
A goblin’s neck or bread in the morning
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
Well I says "Luki the beer is brown"
Ha, me dwarves!
I says "Luki the beer is brown"
"Our wives are few and they’re underground"
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
Well I says Luki "I don't care"
Ha, me dwarves!
I says Luki "I don't care"
"We go to war in the spring of the year"
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
Oh, Luki's saving up his gold
Ha, me dwarves!
Luki’s saving up his gold
For a mithril shirt from the days of old,
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
Well, in Luki's forge the hammer falls,
Ha, me dwarves!
In Luki's forge the hammer falls,
He’s gone to sing in Aule’s halls,
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
Well oh, Luki’s beard is long and grey
Ha, me dwarves!
Luki’s beard is long and grey,
The prettiest beard in Durin’s Day
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai
A-ha, me dwarves ah-rhydl-ai-dai

The Iron Hills
02:46
|

I held your hand
When you breathed your last
There beside the Silverlode flowing fast
But we held the vale
And suffered not in vain
Only halting before Durin's bane
And the wars we've won
and deeds we've done
echo down Iron Hills today
On a dark winters day
We held evil at bay
Though I lost my brothers in the fray
And the wars we've won
And deeds we've done
Are songs in the Hills today...
