about

The first dwarf.

lyrics

In an age long past
They were fashioned by the hand of Aulë
Seven fathers of our people
In the womb of a great mountain

Their time was not yet come
To work the earth and walk the land
So they slept long and deep
As great stones withered down to sand

(chanting, repeated behind the clean chorus line):
Rise! First-born rise! First-born rise! First-born awake from your slumber! (x8)

(chorus lines)
First born, wake and see the splendor of the mountains
A realm for your kin to inherit
Go forth and give names to untraveled hills and valleys
Lay claim to your new domain
Live long and propagate the royal line of Durin
Let your name be ever spoken
Heed now and witness all, the coming of the Longbeards
The first-born king now ends his slumber

“There he lived so long that he was known far and wide as Durin the Deathless… his line never failed, and five times an heir was born in his House so like to his Forefather that he received the name of Durin. He was indeed held by the Dwarves to be the Deathless that returned; for they have many strange tales and beliefs concerning themselves and their fate in the world” - Appendix A, 439

There he gazed at the surface of Kheled-Zâram
And he beheld a vast reflection
A crown of seven shining stars

Moved by the sign he founded our greatest city
Around the dark and placid waters
The renowned halls of Khazad-Dum

Plagues Upon Arda
by Khazaddum

Khazaddum's sound captures the brutality of the wars between Dwarves and Orcs in an epic death metal fashion that evokes stylings of Italian and Polish legends of the genre. Line of Durin
