[Intro] Under stone Under night Ancient halls Hidden from light [Verse] The old map showed a passage Where no sun had ever shone Behind the frozen waterfall Beneath the mountain stone We carried flame and silence Through corridors of dust Past statues without faces And gates consumed by rust [Pre-Chorus] Then deep below the world of men A forgotten fire woke again And in the dark where legends sleep I heard the mountain breathe [Chorus] The Throne Beneath the Mountain Waits below the roots of time The Throne Beneath the Mountain Carved in iron, ash and rhyme Not for tyrants, not for gold Not for hands that fear the cold The Throne Beneath the Mountain Calls the heart that burns inside [Verse] No velvet graced its shadow No jewels upon its crest Only iron wolves and ravens Upon the ancient rest The first kings sat in hardship Their law was oath and blade Before the courts grew poisoned Before the crowns decayed [Pre-Chorus] I touched the arms of blackened steel And felt the old dominion kneel Not to my blood, not to my name But to the heart that held the flame [Chorus] The Throne Beneath the Mountain Waits below the roots of time The Throne Beneath the Mountain Carved in iron, ash and rhyme Not for tyrants, not for gold Not for hands that fear the cold The Throne Beneath the Mountain Calls the heart that burns inside [Instrumental] Stone drums awaken Deep fires rise Voices of ages Open their eyes [Bridge] The mountain spoke without a tongue Of every crown destroyed and young Of kings who ruled and kings who fell And those who learned the throne too well [Breakdown] Stone and steel Blood and flame Ancient throne Speak my name [Build-up] I did not sit, I only bowed Before the iron, black and proud For no man rules by throne alone Until his heart becomes the stone [Chorus] The Throne Beneath the Mountain Waits below the roots of time The Throne Beneath the Mountain Carved in iron, ash and rhyme Not for tyrants, not for gold Not for hands that fear the cold The Throne Beneath the Mountain Calls the heart that burns inside [Chorus] The Throne Beneath the Mountain Let the sleeping fires rise The Throne Beneath the Mountain Holds the truth beneath the skies Not for tyrants, not for gold Not for hearts already sold The Throne Beneath the Mountain Calls the heart that burns inside [Outro] Under stone Under flame The throne remembers The worthy name
