song of durin

Singer:peter hollens

the king he was on carven throne

in many-pillared halls of stone

with golden roof and silver floor

and runes of power upon the door

the light of sun and star and moon

in shining lamps of crystal hewn

undimmed by cloud or shade of night

they shone for ever fair and wide

the world is grey

the mountains old

the forge's fire is ashen-cold

no harp is wrung

no hammer falls

the darkness dwells in durin's halls

the shadow lies upon his tomb

in moria

in khazad-dum

but still the sunken stars appear

in dark and windless mirrormere

there lies his crown in water deep

till durin wakes again from sleep
