[Intro]
Stone in the blood, fire in the bone
No dwarf walks empty when walking alone

[Verse]
Old Ironbeard sat where the firelight bled
With a cracked iron helm by the side of his bread
He drank to the mountain no longer in sight
And the halls that were swallowed by winter and night

[Pre-Chorus]
He said, I have carried my dead in my song
I have been silent for far too long
But give me an axe and a road made of stone

[Chorus]
By hammer, by hearth, by the gold under ground
I swear that my brothers will hear me now
If darkness is waiting below the floor
Then Ironbeard’s oath will break down the door
Raise the steel, let the old halls ring
A dwarf still remembers the mountain king

[Verse]
His beard was a banner of ash, braid, and red
Each ring was a vow for a warrior dead
The bard gave a nod and the thief looked away
For even the crooked know honor can stay

[Pre-Chorus]
The mage saw the runes on his weathered old hand
The paladin knelt like he could understand
And thunder was born in the heart of the room

[Chorus]
By hammer, by hearth, by the gold under ground
I swear that my brothers will hear me now
If darkness is waiting below the floor
Then Ironbeard’s oath will break down the door
Raise the steel, let the old halls ring
A dwarf still remembers the mountain king

[Breakdown]
Beat on the tables
Stamp on the stone
Call to the fallen
Bring them home

[Bridge]
If I fall before sunrise, bury me deep
Where roots of the old world remember my sleep
But if I stand breathing when black fires part
I’ll carve a new hall in the enemy’s heart

[Chorus]
By hammer, by hearth, by the gold under ground
I swear that my brothers will hear me now
If darkness is waiting below the floor
Then Ironbeard’s oath will break down the door
Raise the steel, let the old halls ring
A dwarf still remembers the mountain king

[Outro]
Stone in the blood, fire in the bone
No oath is broken while one dwarf comes home
