[Intro] No dawn below No mercy shown Only The Black Sun Under Stone [Verse] Past the forest, past the bells They came where no living river dwells A crater opened, wide and dry With a chained black sun instead of sky [Pre-Chorus] It had no flame It gave no light Yet all their shadows Knelt in fright [Chorus] The Black Sun Under Stone Dreams of kingdoms overthrown Feeds on gates and mortal fear Pulls the end of all worlds near The Black Sun Under Stone Wants the tavern for its throne If the ancient chains descend Darkness drinks the World’s End [Verse] The dwarf knew runes on every chain He had seen their like in mountain pain The mage heard fire beg and cry The knight saw saints refuse the sky [Pre-Chorus] The thief stepped back The bard went still The black sun spoke Without a will [Chorus] The Black Sun Under Stone Dreams of kingdoms overthrown Feeds on gates and mortal fear Pulls the end of all worlds near The Black Sun Under Stone Wants the tavern for its throne If the ancient chains descend Darkness drinks the World’s End [Instrumental] Heavy guitars and war drums roll Fiddle screams across the soul Hurdy-gurdy grinding fate Choir calls at the broken gate [Bridge] I am hunger without ending I am night before the name Open wide your wooden doorway Let me wear your world as flame [Breakdown] Chains cracked once The moons went blind Chains cracked twice It entered mind Chains cracked three The tavern shook Far away By fire and book [Build-up] The paladin raised his broken crest The bard sang loud with burning chest The dwarf struck iron, the mage struck flame The thief stole back his hidden name [Chorus] The Black Sun Under Stone Dreams of kingdoms overthrown Feeds on gates and mortal fear Pulls the end of all worlds near The Black Sun Under Stone Wants the tavern for its throne If the ancient chains descend Darkness drinks the World’s End [Chorus] The Black Sun Under Stone Hear us now, you die alone By the cup and by the blade By the songs the lost ones made The Black Sun Under Stone You shall never claim our home While one mortal heart defends You will not take World’s End [Outro] No dawn below No mercy shown But chains can hold The Black Sun Under Stone
