Dwarven Battle Chant

Deep in the dark under mighty mountains

Hidden in halls under hollow hills

Every hammer fall is a peal of thunder

Bright edge of axe our fell foe kills.

Deep in the dark face we foes beyond counting

Standing defiant, behind steel shields

Grim faced 'neath war helms, hands on axes

Warding, unknowing, the green surface fields.

Deep in the dark fierce foes we face

Things that no upworld fighter could name

Adamant our armor, shield wall unbroken

Ask of the others could they say the same.

Terrors uncounted we face without flinching

Bright edge of axe is our answer to all

Backwards we beat them, the creatures beneath us

The striking of thunder with each hammer fall.

Sons of the stone and daughters of the deep

Stalwart we stand where no hope yet dwells

Stone and steel are our boon companions,

Down deep in the dark, far beneath the fells.
