Hall of the Mountain King Lyrics

There once, long and long time ago
Before the stars and moon we know
A king there was in dawn of days
His golden crown did brightly blaze

O Farewell night and farewell rain
Farewell wind and cold dark day
Come my friend feast and sing
Welcome to the hall of the king

Hall of the mountain king!

His halls were bright as moon and stars
The light was caught in elven lamps
And wine and music lavished free
No fairer place found could be

When nights were long, dark and cold
When snows were deep and shadows long
Songs were made and things of gold
There magic lurked from harp and song

Songs were made and things of gold
There magic lurked from harp and song
And songs were made and tales were told
Until the light and break of a dawn
