(Hey, hey, hey hey hey!) Down, down, down where the sunlight will drown And the runes are burning on the frozen crown Down, so down in the heart of the stone Is reliving a King sitting on the throne Deep, deep, deep where the spirits reside They forever are bound to the dwarven mine Deep, so deep where the torches dim They rejoin in the battle with a glorious hymn We stand together, and raise the banners We brace for battle with the dance of the axes! It's now or never, we'll fight forever And join together in the dance of the axes! In the dance of the axes! Far, far, far, way beyond in the dark All the shades of the past showing off their mark Far, so far from the surface revealed They'll be dancing forever in black concealed Long, long, long is the time they will wait From the dawn of the eras to their journey made Long, so long since they were all gone And again like brothers they will be reborn We stand together, and raise the banners We brace for battle with the dance of the axes! It's now or never, we'll fight forever And join together in the dance of the axes! In the dance of the axes! When shadows fall Together in the twilight we heed the call The darkness shall not drive us away When shadows fall Together in the twilight we'll fight once more The flame of war will show us the way forevermore! (Hey, hey, hey hey hey!) Rise, rise, rise, from the ashes of old In the glow of the flame where the story's told Rise, so rise, like the winter awakes With the voice of the heroes all the mountain shakes Sing, sing, sing, in the mist of time From a tale to a legend and again to rhymes Sing, so sing, with this old magic song All the spirits are coming from where they belong In the dance of the axes! In the dance of the axes! In the dance of the axes! When shadows fall Together in the twilight we heed the call The darkness shall not drive us away When shadows fall Together in the twilight we'll fight once more The flame of war will show us the way forevermore! And we're fighting forevermore Long was the time before this moment arrived As we were looking far away, far was the day When, reunited, again we'd fight once more Long was the time before this moment arrived As we were looking far away, far was the day When, reunited, again we'd fight once more When shadows fall Together in the twilight we heed the call The darkness shall not drive us away When shadows fall Together in the twilight we'll fight once more The flame of war will show us the way forevermore! (Hey, hey, hey hey hey!)
