"Khazad-Du^m"
lyrics by Benjamin Newman
ttto: "The Bulders' Song" by Gary Ehrlich

	/ D - A - / G - - A / D A D G / D A G D /

	Hail to the delvers!  Hail to the shapers!
	Hail to the silver-steel, bright in the gloom!
	This is our home in the heart of the mountain,
	This is our pride...  This is Khazad-Du^m!

/ D A D - / D A G A / 1st / A - G A /

Tunneling beneath Zirak-zigil,
Carving out halls in the deep-rooted stone.
Sculpting our dream from this mountain,
Making this underground city our home!

Passageways stetch between caverns
Columns and carvings of intricate form,
Smithry and stonecraft unequaled
Since Durin first marveled in Kheled-zaram!

	Hail to the delvers...

Delving beneath Barazinbar,
Mining for true-silver, precious and rare!
Lightest and strongest of metals,
Shining and lovely beyond all compare!

Delving too deep in our boldness,
Waking a dark thing we shudder to name.
But when Durin stirs in his slumber,
To those halls we'll return, and our home we'll reclaim!

	Hail to the delvers...	(2x)
