To the Proud a Grave Lyrics

Mighty halls of stone
Downfall of the brave
To the Beast a throne
To the proud a grave

Seven Rings to the dwarves in their halls of stone
And no one knew what they hide
They dug for gold and today it's told
They woke a beast they couldn't fight

Now barren roads bear the fallen ones
To mourn demise silently
Stronghold it's been to the deathless kin
Now Death is king, his realm debris

(Forever Moria)
Once bright, now ruled by flame and shadow
(Not built to last)
(Moria)
Crushed by whip and sword
(Tale of the past)
(Moria)
The king and all his people slain
(You shall not pass)
(Moria)
Your halls know so much pain

As friends we entered here, cornered by a fiend
No welcome for us though, no living soul to greet
Alas, there was no time to grieve, no time to weep
The folly of the little one brought drums in the deep

Fly, you fools!
Or face the wrath of Durin's bane
Fly, you fools!
Escape these mines of doom
Fly, you fools!
You can't defeat the Flame of Udun
Fly, you fools!
Be brave and carry on

Mighty halls of stone
Downfall of the brave
To the Beast a throne
To the proud a grave

Mighty halls of stone
Downfall of the brave
To the Beast a throne
To the proud a grave

The legacy of the elder's greed
They craved too much and mined too deep
Under the feet of Durin's breed
See what they have freed
Broke the peace of the Balrog's sleep
Emblazed the spark of his hellish heat
Woke the last of Morgoth's seed
In the depths of Khazad-Dum

The legacy of the elder's greed
They craved too much and mined too deep
Under the feet of Durin's breed
See what they have freed
Broke the peace of the Balrog's sleep
Emblazed the spark of his hellish heat
Woke the last of Morgoth's seed
In the depths of Khazad-Dum

Mighty halls of stone
Downfall of the brave
To the Beast a throne
To the proud a grave

Mighty halls of stone
Downfall of the brave
To the Beast a throne
To the proud a grave

Mighty halls of stone
(All hope has gone)
Downfall of the brave
(Brave his sacrifice)
To the Beast a throne
(We'll carry on)
To the proud a grave
(Come what may)

Mighty halls of stone
(All hope has gone)
Downfall of the brave
(Brave his sacrifice)
To the Beast a throne
(We'll carry on)
To the proud a grave
(Come what may)
