Rosenwind (Rose Wind) - Swiss Jazz Orchestra & Jim McNeely

Brothers of the mine rejoice! Swing, swing, swing with me Raise your pick and raise your voice! Sing, sing, sing with me Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold and more Hidden in the mountain store Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole The sunlight will not reach this low Deep, deep in the mine Never seen the blue moon glow Dwarves won't fly so high Fill a glass and down some mead! Stuff your bellies at the feast! Stumble home and fall asleep Dreaming in our mountain keep Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb The Earth is our cradle, the mountain shall become our tomb Face us on the battlefield, you will meet your doom We do not fear what lies beneath We can never dig too deep I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole

When tomorrow comes I will be long gone When the sky grows dim, it will be so clear That my time has come When tomorrow comes With the fears all fading away Reliving the memories of a life spent here Now it isn't hard to see And it never has been so clear This is what I wanted to live and to die for And your tears will not be shed for me If I will be gone when tomorrow has come Riding over the golden fields as a warrior When tomorrow has come When tomorrow comes I will be on the way Do not wait for me if I am not here If I've walked across a land far away When my time has come I will not be forgotten Like a melody Every memory will remind me of here And your tears will not be shed for me If I will be gone when tomorrow has come Riding over the golden fields as a warrior When tomorrow has come And my tears are falling for what I read in your eyes If I had a chance now to come back to my life While my time is running out And my tears are falling For what I read in your eyes (read in your eyes) If I had a chance now to come back to my life While my time is running Time is running out And your tears will not be shed for me If I will be gone when tomorrow has come Riding over the golden fields as a warrior When tomorrow has come Tears will not be shed for me If I will be gone when tomorrow has come Riding over the golden fields as a warrior When tomorrow has come

Rise, dwarves in a line (rise) The horns resound off the mountains Up from the fields of the battle We raise our shields in a row Down where the flame is awakened For the war the ground is shaking Beneath the soles of the warriors They're rushing fast to the call Full force warriors (hu) The axes now are aiming Straight at the heart of the battle We praise the crown with their blood Hеre all my brothers are standing To facе the ranks of the enemy Shines on the stone of the mountain The dwarves of iron and gold In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on Till the end, through the dark we are holding on Far from our home we're standing as one When the battlefield calls together we're marching on In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on Till the end, we're still holding on Together we fall, together we fight And once together we rise We are the fire for the smithery We are ready to burn We are the cold of the winter night We are blinded by the blood of our enemies And once together we rise We are the fire for the smithery We are ready to burn We are the cold of the winter night We are blinded by the blood of our enemies And once together we rise Strong is the blow of the hammers Smashing their lines overwhelmed By steel ranks of dwarves in the frontline To fight until they will fall We don't look back or surrender Cursed is the fate of contenders The wrath of dwarves is upon them Coming from the depths of the mountain halls Rise with force through the fire you'll stand with us Tales of war burn like flame on winter nights Rise with force through this night you'll stand with us Side by side till the end we'll stand as one Rise with force through the fire you'll stand with us Tales of war burn like flame on winter nights Rise with force through this night you'll stand with us Side by side till the end we'll stand as one In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on Till the end, through the dark we are holding on Far from our home we're standing as one When the battlefield calls together we're marching on In the fray, in the fire, we are marching on Till the end, we're still holding on Together we fall, together we fight And once together we rise We are the fire for the smithery We are ready to burn We are the cold of the winter night We are blinded by the blood of our enemies And once together we rise We are the fire for the smithery We are ready to burn We are the cold of the winter night We are blinded by the blood of our enemies And once together we rise We walk into the twilight We walk into the twilight And once together we rise We walk into the twilight We walk into the twilight The dwarves together will rise
