Solefald - Where Birds Have Never Been lyrics

I walked towards Reykjavik as always alone When a band of dwarves seized me pulling me through stone Down into their underworld where birds have never been Wickedness and wonders the weirdest things ever seen A silver dwarf seated on his mighty dark throne Held up his wand and spoke to me in dire tone "You come from way above and shall prove your worth This ordeal has been waiting since before your birth A victim of Destiny is what you claim to be If you've been wronged then for sure you'll be free But if your prove too weak to accept your fate That means your freedom will forever have to wait Only dwarves will know your all-too human shame Only small men will speak your dishonoured name You'll stay in the underworld where birds have never been Among gold and silver the weirdest things ever seen In the dim timelessness where only spiders mate It might take you a thousand years to honour your fate Thnk of Destiny for each rust-red drop that falls On your brow while you stare at these stately walls You must teach your stomach to let go of its greed Your throat will learn to abate its strong need You'll ask if life is an illness if you can be cured In the end if you make it your story might be heard The day you can bear the clothes Destiny gave to you Then we can give you the powers see you stay true You'll be free to leave this place deprived of life and light Climb up towards the white sun to take up your great fight You'll speak like a god before the cheering ma**es You'll stand like a cliff in the stream of time that pa**es Choose right over wrong there's nothing in between Never be haughty or spiteful stay calm and serene Drink the wine of winners live with pride in the sun As a man of the sword and a master of the word Not as a wild wolf forever on the run Whose life's an illness that cannot be cured Remember your friends where birds have never been Wickedness and wonders the weirdest dwarves ever seen We shall stay behind in this mine of wisdom and gold When leaving the Underworld be strong and bold As you climb through the stone you'll again be all alone" Thus spake the silver dwarf from his mighty dark throne
