[Verse]<br>
In the lands of ice and snow<br>
The winter grew so cold<br>
And frost turned the lakes and streams<br>
Into frozen paths for the bold</p>

In the lands of mountains and lakes<br>
The sun was set aglow<br>
No stars above were seen<br>
No sun the clouds did show</p>

In the bitter desolate waste<br>
Beyond the Black Gate<br>
A world of fire and ash<br>
Filled by an unsleeping hate</p> 

In the depths of Durins Halls<br>
Full of shadow and shade<br>
Death is always near<br>
As the light begins to fade</p>

[Chorus]<br>
Far beyond the world it lies<br>
In a place long forgotten, hidden by time<br>
A memory of a land, in our mind<br>
A legend of a world, without mankind</p>
