Winterdeep lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
The snows fall in silence
On our fallen fathers
The white cloaks the violence
That fell on Winterdeep

[Verse 2]
The shadows are growing
Stretched from dark horizons
The bright stars are glowing
On the souls of Winterdeep

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Begin now the vigil
Strike alight the torches
Illumine the sigil
Of the king of Winterdeep

[Verse 4]
Prepare now in gladness
The feast of yearly passage
Drive out gloom and sadness
From the halls of Winterdeep
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Fill the hall with gladsome song
Shake the stones with voices strong
Line now the mine with boughs of life
Free the mind and soul from strife

[Verse 6]
Where winter’s power has lost its hold
And mighty heroes’ tales are told
Where death and darkness, ice and cold
Shall shrink from homes and hearts so bold

[Verse 7]
Make up the fire of hearty glow
Where tankard and table overflow
Love of the brethren unified
The kingdom of the hammer’s pride

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 8]
The snows settle gravely
On the northern mountain
Atop Dwarves who bravely
Paid the price for Winterdeep
[Verse 9]
We reverence their glory
By our yearly passage
We retell their story
All the Dwarves of Winterdeep

[Outro]
