Dwarven king Lyrics

Dwarven king

I'm an ancient dwarven king, in my old mountain home
No friendly fires burning here to warm up my halls
What use to me all my diamonds and gold since so many years I'm alone and old
I live my life in forgotten and no story will even been told
Now I'm sitting here in my throne, my heart is frozen, my heart is cold
And it surrounds me a million tons of these hated stones

Tell me why, tell me why.... why I'd let you go
Tell me how, tell me how.... how is the world outside
Tell me why, tell me why.... why I'd let you go
Tell me what, tell me what, what have I done?

I'm an ancient dwarven king, in my old mountain home
No friendly fires burning here to warm up my halls
For so many years I have wasted my times
Now I feel the wait of my crown
I bury my face in my hands and warm tears are fallin' down to earth
This was the price for my throne

Tell me why, tell me why....

I'm an ancient mountain king in my lonely mountain home
No friendly fires burning here to warm up my soul
(and) as the red burning sun falls into her sleep
The sneaking darkness is marching into my dreams
I look into the peaceful eye of the nightly sky
And listen to the songs of the wolfs which howls in the night

Tell me why, tell me why....

I took the false direction on the crossroads of life
I recognize the creed had made me blind
The last what stands is only the truth, yeah I'm a poor man
It's time to crush down my walls and explore a new land
The light of the moon shines upon my head, please friends hear my call
I know what I've done, the rise was my fall

Tell me why, tell me why....
