[Verse 1]
  Dm
Beneath the mountain's ancient brow
    F
The caverns deep are echoing now
      C
We're beating the iron, we're breaking the stone
   Bb
In halls of rock, we're forging our home
    Dm
The hammers dance, the forges sing
     F
With ores and jewels on golden rings
     C
With magical power, as lineage commands
      Bb                                      A
We're smithing our fame with the skill of our hands
     Dm
With axes sharp and shields so strong
   F
We guard our realm, where we belong
   C
An oath made of iron, a race made of stone
     Bb                     C                Dm
I'll honour the blood of my brothers until I die

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm     F       C        Dm
Die! If I have to, I'll die
         Bb     Am         Dm
Die! The brotherhood will fight
           F        C    Bb
Fight! I'm meant to be a dwarf
         A      Am     Dm
Till the moment that I die
        F      C        Dm
Die! If I have to, I'll die
         Bb     Am        Dm
Die! The brotherhood will fight
           F     C       Bb
Fight! I'm meant to be a dwarf
               C
The promise of all

[Chorus]
              Dm
I will be the fire of the morning light (I swear!)
                                    G
I will be the white of the mountain high (I swear!)
              Dm
I will be the hammer beating on the anvil
        Bb                     G
To be a dwarf, it's an oath we swearing us all
Dm
Fire of the morning light (I swear!)
                                    G
I will be the white on the mountain high (I swear!)
              Dm
I will be the hammer beating on the anvil
        Bb                        G             Dm
To be a dwarf, it's our oath, and will be forevermore

[Verse 2]
  Dm
Around the hearth, when day is done
    F
We share our tales with ale and fun
    C
Surrounding the fire, in tunnels so deep
   Bb
In halls of rock, our oaths we keep
    Dm
Of battles fierce, of brothers gone
       F
Their memories live in our song
     C
When hammering sounds, our voices will rise
      Bb                       C                Dm   C
These stories will guide us as torches into the night

[Bridge]
Dm Bb

         G                      C         G
To be a dwarf, an oath that surrounds me
       Dm                C
Like a storm whitens the mountain

       Dm                Bb
Like a fire scorches the stone
        G                   C
To be a dwarf, an oath that surrounds me
     G
As a legend yet untold
(As a legend yet untold!)

Fight! I'm meant to be a dwarf
               C

              Dm
I will be the hammer beating on the anvil
        Bb                     G
To be a dwarf, it's an oath we swearing us all
Dm
Fire of the morning light (I swear!)
                                    G
I will be the white on the mountain high (I swear!)
              Dm
I will be the hammer beating on the anvil
        Bb                        G             Dm
To be a dwarf, it's our oath, and will be forevermore

       Dm                C
Like a storm whitens the mountain

Like a fire scorches the stone
        G                       C
To be a dwarf, an oath that surrounds me
      G
As a legend yet untold
    Dm
Yet untold!
