Khazad-dum the dwarven mansion

The mighty fortress of Durin's folk

Durin and Deathless, dwarven-king

The First of the seven Fathers

After the bane of Beleriand

Naugrim from Nogrod and Belegost

Came and moved into these caves

Greatest of the dwraven halls



Caves and catacombs forever

Caverns too much for the years of a man

Dwarves can find the way together

To get lost will cost you your life



Majestie stronghold of Aule's people

Treasures from he darkest deeps

Grey-gleam, known as Mithril

Sacred metal shaped into a magical weapons



Weapons! magical weapons! Weapons!



Through the five ages of Stars

Through the three ages of Sun

Another world so far below

Hidden kingdom, the realm of their own

Mahal's tribe so mighty and old

Delving tunnels under the ground

Huge network of caves and deeps

To the western side of mountainline



Caves and catacombs forever

Caverns too much for the years of a man

Dwarves can find the way together

To get lost will cost your life



The gates of Khazad-dum were closed

During the War of elves and Sauron

None shall pass in those years

World of their own under the stone

Deeper and deeper they delved

Shine of Mithril made them blind

In depths there lied the danger

The Band of Khazad-dum
