Verse :
a
G
a
Strong stand the walls of eisenberg’s castle
G
D
a
And as wise it’s ruler we all know
C
G
a
But far older the halls deep down in the mountain
G
D a
Someone else does rule below
In the days before men came
Dwarfs built a place known by a name
Now part of half forgotten lore :
Those are the halls of Khazad’Gor
Who is to tell why they deserted
Their halls for hope or for despair
But I do know from what befell
That something evil lurks down there
Break :
E
a
G d
In the darkness it is breeding
a
G d
a
Silently in silence feeding
E
a
G
d
There was warning – was there heeding ?
a
G d
a
And once again the darkness feeding
Verse :
Enchanted light from golden lamps
Once shone like day below the ground
A wanderers sight they say it was
A place where beauty did abound
Break :
(Khazad’Gor)
I hadn’t seen those ancient halls
Where never star nor moonlight falls
But when tonight the death-bell tolls
I am dread of yonder halls
Verse :
When stars allign in mystic paterns
The griffin clasps the eye once more
A warrior fine as was foretold
Should end the threat of Khazad’Gor
Refrain :
E
a
Khazad’Gor
C
G
The flickering torch light will lead them astray
E
a
Khazad’Gor
G
D
Destorted shadows will dance in their way
C
Oh won’t you behold
g h
What a pittyfull sigh
C
Fools, who went out
g h
for a jester to fight
F
And with a grin
E
He will welcome them in
a
And then snuff out their light
Break:
Thre scores and ten at the gate thus were gathered
Some came for gold or fame to be earned
Three scores and ten the stairway descended
And just a handfull has returned
Verse:
Those who spoke would speak in terror
Of restless dead and creatures cruel
Of eyes that broke while bodies moved on
And of him who there does rule
Break :
His face it shown like chalk as white
In the flick’ring candlelight
And where he moved my friends were slain
I saw their anguish, heard their pain
I knew this creature was insane
And then the corpses rose again
Refrain :
Break :
And all that fell would swell his numbers
While those who stood in dread would sway
Oh woe the spell that makes dead bodies
Former friends attack and slay
