WIND ROSE LYRICS

1. Of War and Sorrow

[Instrumental]

2. Army of Stone

Far on the road before us lie the mountains
Tall and mighty where they rose long ago
Hear the echoes of a melody rise
A song of those who do not live anymore

Cold and dormant in the hold of centuries
Lie the warriors of the army of stone
Waiting for the time to rise again
To stand together at the call

We're reliving now
The sparking forge melting iron
We're reliving now
The story of a kingdom awakened
Rekindle now with force
Rekindle now forevermore
We're reliving now
The rising force for a long time denied

A song of winter cold
Will storm the empty halls
As you hear the voices of dwarves
Rising from the mines

The stories have been told
The legend will live on
In the adventures that are yet to come

A song of winter cold
Will storm the empty halls
As you hear the voices of dwarves
Rising from the mines

The stories have been told
The legend will live on
Within the dwarves of the mountain reborn

Runes of magic shining on the boulders
Telling stories that were born from afar
The guardians do not fear the winter night
They wait together for the storm

In the mountains
Where the legend was born
We're the warriors
Of the army of stone

We're the dwarves
of the mountain reborn
We're the warriors
of the army of stone

We're reliving now
The sparking forge melting iron
We're reliving now
The story of a kingdom awakened
Rekindle now with force
Rekindle now forevermore
We're reliving now
The rising force for a long time denied

A song of winter cold
Will storm the empty halls
As you hear the voices of dwarves
Rising from the mines

The stories have been told
The legend will live on
In the adventures that are yet to come

A song of winter cold
Will storm the empty halls
As you hear the voices of dwarves
Rising from the mines

The stories have been told
The legend will live on
Within the dwarves of the mountain reborn

3. Tales of War

"Once upon a time..." is the beginning of ventures told while the fireside is glowing
The rhymes of the skalds break the silence
Carrying tales from the world to the tavern

No way they will run from the fight
No matter that they're far away
No way they'll fall or look behind
The heroes ride into the night

No way they will run from the fight
No matter that they're far away
No way they'll fall or look behind
The heroes ride

Into a storm or through the fire
Cross the unknown
Their names are echoing tonight
And telling the glory of yore
That seems so far away

On epic battlefields they ride
Together as one
Their tales are echoing tonight
The deeds of heroes
Will always be told as they belong
To tales of war

Tales from the reign of the fallen
Myths and legends of men unforgotten
And bound to war, where the story unfolded
In the songs of the night they are telling

No way they will run from the fight
No matter that they're far away
No way they'll fall or look behind
The heroes ride into the night

No way they will run from the fight
No matter that they're far away
No way they'll fall or look behind
The heroes ride in tales of war
Where they cannot die anymore

Strong is the heart of the ones
Who stray from the light
Adventuring far in the darkness unknown
Through sorrow and pain
On the notes of a bard
Those heroes are riding tonight

Into a storm or through the fire
Cross the unknown
Their names are echoing tonight
And telling the glory of yore
That seems so far away

On epic battlefields they ride
Together as one
Their tales are echoing tonight
The deeds of heroes
Will always be told as they belong
To tales of war

4. Fellows of the Hammer

Come and ride through a land of gold
Together we'll crush the world
On the hills a new kingdom is rising
In the fire of the smithy is born

And smithed by the anvil strong
With the hammer it has been forged
Through the clans of the dwarves reunited
The new blood of the realm now flows

We conquer for all of us
We're fighting for all of us
On the hills a new kingdom is rising
In the fire of the smithy is born

We're standing for all of us
We're dying for all of us
Through the clans of the dwarves reunited
The new blood of the realm now flows

From the seven stars
And spoken by all of us
To be strong when the time comes
Is the oath made by everyone

Born in the iron hills
And trained in the centuries
The time for the hammer arrived
The clans are reunited in us

Take me down to the land of gold
Come with me as the glory is rising
Take me down to the promised home
We have awaited for so long

From the deep a song will rise in the dark
Hear from afar its call
When the fellows of the hammers
Sing from night 'til the rising morn

Take me down to the land of gold
Come with me as the glory is rising
Take me down to the promised home
We have awaited for so long

From the deep a song will rise in the dark
Hear from afar its call
When the fellows of the hammers
Sing from night 'til the rising morn

Come, and gather with all of us
Our destiny is at hand
On the hills a new kingdom is rising
In the fire of the smithy is born

And rally to all of us
The time to arise has come
Through the clans of the dwarves reunited
The new blood of the realm now flows

From the seven stars
And spoken by all of us
To be strong when the time comes
Is the oath made by everyone

Born in the iron hills
And trained in the centuries
The time for the hammer arrived
The clans are reunited in us

Take me down to the land of gold
Come with me as the glory is rising
Take me down to the promised home
We have awaited for so long

From the deep a song will rise in the dark
Hear from afar its call
When the fellows of the hammers
Sing from night 'til the rising morn

Take me down to the land of gold
Come with me as the glory is rising
Take me down to the promised home
We have awaited for so long

From the deep a song will rise in the dark
Hear from afar its call
When the fellows of the hammers
Sing from night 'til the rising morn

When the storm is descending
There is no threat that we fear
All the hammers will be raised
By the clans reunited

Flows from the seven stars
And spoken by all of us
To be strong when the time comes
Is the oath made by everyone

Born in the iron hills
And trained in the centuries
The time for the hammer arrived
The clans are reunited in us

Take me down to the land of gold
Come with me as the glory is rising
Take me down to the promised home
We have awaited for so long

From the deep a song will rise in the dark
Hear from afar its call
When the fellows of the hammers
Sing from night 'til the rising morn

Take me down to the land of gold
Come with me as the glory is rising
Take me down to the promised home
We have awaited for so long

From the deep a song will rise in the dark
Hear from afar its call
When the fellows of the hammers
Sing from night 'til the rising morn

5. Together We Rise

And once together we rise

Rise, dwarves in a line! (Rise!)
The horns resound off the mountains
Up from the fields of the battle
We raise our shields in a row

Down where the flame is awakened
For the war the ground is shaking
Beneath the soles of the warriors
They're rushing fast to the call

Full force warriors! (hu!)
The axes now are aiming
Straight at the heart of the battle
We praise the crown with their blood

Here all my brothers are standing
To face the ranks of the enemy
Shines on the stone of the mountain
The dwarves of iron and gold

In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on
'Til the end, through the dark we are holding on
Far from our home we're standing as one
When the battlefield calls
Together we're marching on

In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on
'Til the end, we're still holding on
Together we fall, together we fight
And once together we rise

We are the fire for the smithery
We are ready to burn
We are the cold of the winter night
We are blinded by the blood of our enemies
And once together we rise

We are the fire for the smithery
We are ready to burn
We are the cold of the winter night
We are blinded by the blood of our enemies
And once together we rise

Strong is the blow of the hammers
Smashing their lines overwhelmed
By steel ranks of dwarves in the frontline
To fight until they will fall

We don't look back or surrender
Cursed is the fate of contenders
The wrath of dwarves is upon them
Coming from the depths of the mountain halls

Rise with force
Through the fire you'll stand with us
Tales of war burn like flame on winter nights
Rise with force
Through this night you'll stand with us
Side by side 'til the end we'll stand as one

Rise with force
Through the fire you'll stand with us
Tales of war burn like flame on winter nights
Rise with force
Through this night you'll stand with us
Side by side 'til the end we'll stand as one

In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on
'Til the end, through the dark we are holding on
Far from our home we're standing as one
When the battlefield calls
Together we're marching on

In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on
'Til the end, we're still holding on
Together we fall, together we fight
And once together we rise

We are the fire for the smithery
We are ready to burn
We are the cold of the winter night
We are blinded by the blood of our enemies
And once together we rise

We are the fire for the smithery
We are ready to burn
We are the cold of the winter night
We are blinded by the blood of our enemies
And once together we rise

We walk into the twilight
We walk into the twilight
And once together we rise
We walk into the twilight
We walk into the twilight
The dwarves together will rise!

6. Gates of Ekrund

From the fortress old
The dwarves on the gates are crying for war
And coming with the night the blood will flow
Before their home
There's no turning back anymore

From the fortress old
They're holding the lines and ready to die
They stack on the walls
The swarm has arrived
At the gates of their home
There's no turning back anymore

Here we are, at the gates of the mountain
Hold the line
We're alone but no one was left behind
We are outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, but there will be no surrender

Here we are, at the gates of the mountain
Hold the line, feel the breath of the horde
That's charging us
We are outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire!

Fire
Fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire! Fire!
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall

Dark is night, not a star in the sky
Will shine on us, we're alone but no one
Was left behind, with desperation in our eyes
We wait to die in the forthcoming attack

Orcs ahead!
At the gates of the mountain
Hold the line
Feel the breath of the horde that's charging us
We are outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire!

Fire! Fire!
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire! Fire!
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall

Fire! Fire!
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire! Fire!
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
We will answer to their five with fire

Fire
Fire!
Fire!
Fire with fire
Fire!
Fire!
Fire with fire
Fire!
Fire!
Fire with fire

Fight the fire with fire
We will answer all, there's no choice anymore
Dwarves of Ekrund reunite together
In front of the gates of the fort

No step back for us
We stand firm
Like a wall made of stone
Dwarves of Ekrund reunite together
Defending the gates of our home

Here we are, at the gates of the mountain
Hold the line, feel the breath of the horde
That's charging us
We are outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire!

Fire
Fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire! Fire!
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall

Fire
Fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire! Fire!
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall

7. One Last Day

From a land of iron and snow
Through danger and cold
We carry the banner of the dwarves
Of strength, for freedom and war
Through dangers, for gold for grudges are burning in us all

We ride, to war, we ride
With sorrow in our eyes to our demise
And if tonight we are bound to fall
There's nothing to be mourned we died as one

As a mountain reigns all above the hills
We stand together over the battlefield
With no remorse we are facing our destiny
Before the dawn of our last day

The day may come when dwarves will be overrun
When our bones will rest in the underground
But on this day we stand on the battlefield
To tell the story of those who'll never yield

The day may come when dwarves will be overrun
And our blood will fall on the battleground
But on the field we stand and we're not afraid
With no remorse we fight for one last day

For one last day

In a land of iron and snow
Where dwells our fold
Where rises the power of the dwarves
In mines and quarries of stone
With axes and swords
We are warriors, we are bound to war

We ride, until we fall
This story will be told in the years to come
And if tonight we are bound to die
There's nothing to be mourned we were born to fight

As a mountain reigns all above the hills
We stand together over the battlefield
With no remorse we are facing our destiny
Before the dawn of our last day

The day may come when dwarves will be overrun
When our bones will rest in the underground
But on this day we stand on the battlefield
To tell the story of those who'll never yield

The day may come when dwarves will be overrun
And our blood will fall on the battleground
But on the field we stand and we're not afraid
With no remorse we fight for one last day

For one last day
For one last day
For one last day
For one last day

We ride, until we fall we ride
One last time the force of the mountain will rise again
And if we're bound to die
There's nothing to fear, we ride
One last day we'll advance
As we reach for the end
We'll fall down
And we die to the ground
Where we were born
But now we've come back
Down to fight again
For one last day

The day may come when dwarves will be overrun
When our bones will rest in the underground
But on this day we stand on the battlefield
To tell the story of those who'll never yield

The day may come when dwarves will be overrun
And our blood will fall on the battleground
But on the field we stand and we're not afraid
With no remorse we fight for one last day

For one last day
For one last day

For one last day

8. The Battle of the Five Armies

Ensorcelled
Corrupted
Upon the throne in silence

Confounded
Distracted
Distorted by the power

Of magic, and darkness
Betrayed by anger in my eyes

In madness, and blindness
The battle has begun

Is it war that corrupted the men?
Or the prophecy is unfolding?
Do we have enough time to demand a new life
To prevent the death it's causing?

When a tears falling down to the sand
And the grief of hope is rising
Is it fate that is binding your hands
When in life or in death you are obliged to stay

On the day of the call to arms
Over the lands laid low before darkest night
On the day of the call to arms
Our fate will be decided once again
With a war 'til the end

When the armies ride to the mountain
They'll fight for a future
Far away, far away
The battle has begun
Ahead of the mountain
They'll fight for a future
Far away, far away
It's the battle of the five armies

For the gold beneath the mountain stone
They will fight in the battle of the five armies
For the gold beneath the dragon's lair
They will fight once again

Confounded
Distracted
Trapped by a stone of power

Ensorcelled
Corrupted
Await the final hour
In madness, and blindness
Bewitched by shadows in my mind

Of magic, and darkness
The moment has arrived

Is it war that corrupted the men?
Or the prophecy is unfolding?
Do we have enough time to demand a new life
To prevent the death it's causing?

When a tears falling down to the sand
And the grief of hope is rising
Is it fate that is binding your hands
When in life or in death you are obliged to stay

On the day of the call to arms
Over the lands laid low before darkest night
On the day of the call to arms
Our fate will be decided once again
The armies are riding to the mountain

That war was the time
Where my journey began
We walked from far away
Toward the mountain
Where the home of the clan awaited

His war was the time where our journey began
He was the chosen one
And claimed the mountain
Where the home of the dwarves is rising

Is it war that corrupted the men?
Or the prophecy is unfolding?
Do we have enough time to demand a new life
To prevent the death it's causing?

When a tears falling down to the sand
And the grief of hope is rising
Is it fate that is binding your hands
When in life or in death you are obliged to stay

On the day of the call to arms
Over the lands laid low before darkest night
On the day of the call to arms
Our fate will be decided once again
With a war 'til the end

When the armies ride to the mountain
They'll fight for a future
Far away, far away
The battle has begun
Ahead of the mountain
They'll fight for a future
Far away, far away
It's the battle of the five armies

For the gold beneath the mountain stone
They will fight in the battle of the five armies
For the gold beneath the dragon's lair
They will fight once again

9. I Am the Mountain

I keep on walking alone far into the night
On a way I cannot see
I feel chained to my tragedies
Entrapped in the memories and time
But the flames release me now

I keep on walking alone far into the night
But the flames release me now
And I'm chained to my tragedies
Entrapped in the memories and time

All I want is to lay down, upon the ground
Watching within myself in silence and snow
The dreams take on new life
Now that I'm forced to stare the past in the eyes

And I shall be like fire
Burning inside the veil of dark
That won't lead me away
I shall make it on my own
A shadow lies on what we are

From a dream, we've awakened
And remembered who we are
On a path, through the desert
We rely on the stars

From the past to the present
Looking back, to forgive
Memories, long forgotten
With a moment to relive

Lost within the vale of a dream
Waiting for the day to become night
It could take a moment or a thousand years
This sorrow is like rhymes of the notes of an old song
That I don't want to sing anymore

Laying down, upon the ground
Watching within myself to silence and snow
The dreams take on new life
Now that I'm forced to stare the past in the eyes

I was sinking, fallen and forsaken
Struggling, breathing and trying to not drown
From this wailing I've awakened
Now I promise that nothing will bring me down

I can see the light afar
A blaze of might and wonder
There's still fire in the mountain
And it burns before my eyes

I can see the light afar
It's burning within the night
There's still fire in the mountain
There's still fire inside me

From a dream
I've awakened
To remember who we are
On a path through the desert
We rely on the stars

Memories, long-forgotten, in the past
From the height I see my way now
And I shall be like fire
Burning inside the veil of dark
That won't lead me away
I shall make it on my own
A shadow lies on what we are

I'll be like fire
Burning inside the veil of dark
That won't lead me away
I've been walking on my own
From now on I'll not walk alone anymore

I won't be alone anymore

10. Tomorrow Has Come

When tomorrow comes
I will be long gone
When the sky grows dim it will be so clear
That my time has come

When tomorrow comes
With the fears all fading away
Reliving the memories of a life spent here

Now it isn't hard to see
And it never has been so clear
This is what I wanted to live and to die for

And your tears will not be shed for me
If I will be gone when tomorrow has come
Riding over the golden fields as a warrior
When tomorrow has come

When tomorrow comes
I will be on the way
Do not wait for me if I am not here
If I've walked across a land far away

When my time has come
I will not be forgotten
Like a melody
Every memory will remind me of here

And your tears will not be shed for me
If I will be gone when tomorrow has come
Riding over the golden fields as a warrior
When tomorrow has come

And my tears are falling
For what I read in your eyes
If I had a chance now to come back to my life
While my time is running out

And my tears are falling
For what I read in your eyes
(Read in your eyes)
If I had a chance now to come back to my life
While my time is running, time is running out

And your tears will not be shed for me
If I will be gone when tomorrow has come
Riding over the golden fields as a warrior
When tomorrow has come
