Lyrics:

When the Hammer Falls

Down in the deep,
Where the dragon used to sleep,
Glorious gold,
Glimmers in our home of old,
Dark as the night,
Where the day has lost its light,
When the hammer falls.

When the hammer falls,
And it sounds through the halls,
When the hammer falls,
Freeing treasures from the walls,
When the hammer strikes,
And the kingdom comes to life,
When the hammer pounds,
Like the thunder underground,
When the hammer falls,
When the hammer falls!

Of legend and myth,
Is the craft of the smith,
The molten metal poured,
And pounded into sword,
From the fire is made,
Every Dwarven axe and blade,
When the hammer falls.

When the hammer falls,
Forging weapons for all,
When the hammer falls,
Songs of battle fill the halls,
When the hammer flies,
Lines of armored Dwarves arise,
With the hammer’s roar
We go marching off to war!
When the hammer falls,
When the hammer falls!

The orcs came to our land,
And we fought them hand to hand.
Sweat and blood,
Turned the ground to mud,
Dwarf and Orc in strife,
Sought to vanquish every life,
When the hammer falls.

When the hammer falls,
Back our enemy crawls
When the hammer quakes,
Orcish cowards’ bones will break,
When the hammer cracks,
And it beats their armies back,
When the hammer’s boom,
Sends the monsters to their doom,
When the hammer falls,
When the hammer falls!

When the hammer falls,
Then our victory calls,
When the hammer falls,
Songs of glory fill the halls,
When the hammer flies,
Mighty heroes now arise,
With the hammer’s sound,
Live the Dwarves down underground,
When the hammer falls,
When the hammer falls!

"So you're in a dwarven metal band, eh? What instrument do you play?"
"I play the anvil"

[ethanvandersloot]

As a blacksmith I know that it is not as extreme as everyone thinks, but listening to this while forgoing changes that.

[tardis]

"When the hammer flies, Mighty heroes now arise, " sent shivers down my body. I love that line.

[madlarkin]

Lets be real. The one things that makes dwarves superhuman....
Work ethic.
Everything they do, they do with care and attention to detail. Whether its mining rock, smithing, fighting, or drinking, they go 110%
They dont have immortality or natural arcane abilities, theyre just fully committed to everything in life, which makes them seem exceptional by human standards.

[Murczx]

This somehow manages to capture the essence of a culture that doesn't even exist.

[jupiter_adept]

"It was a real dwarf axe; with a pick on one side in case you wanted to go prospecting and an axe blade on the other in case anyone tried to stop you."

[RosesBottom]

You have my hammer
And my hammer
And my hammer
*AND MY HAMMER*

[pctdbr]

Work like a dwarf, be simple like a hobbit, wise like an elf and brave as a man

[RememberTheDead]

Original Dwarvish music by Clamavi de Profundis? Dear Aulë, that's incredible! You guys seem to have been born to represent Durin's folk.

Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!

[RememberTheDead]

Something I particularly like is how the first half of the song sounds quieter, more like a celebration of the Dwarves's general society and love for ores and smithing, while the second half kicks into high-gear with a celebration of their glory in battle and sounds like a marching song.

How many dwarves does it take to change a lightbulb?

Trick question, if a dwarf made a lightbulb it wouldn't go out.

[LabToast]

This is a dwarven song. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. The piece describes dwarves, hammers, and orcs. The dwarves are raising the hammers. The dwarves are striking a triumphant pose. The orcs are terrified.

[sannekimenai]

Bless you, Clamavi De Profundis, for yet another amazing Dwarven song. May your beards never grow thin!

A beautiful testament to Tolkien's legacy. I can imagine no other doing justice to his poems as you do, nor having the talent to craft your own. Thank you for every little joy you bring to our lives through music.

"A dwarf..."

Bjard scowled, and slammed his flagon onto the table hard enough that cracks formed in the wood. Everyone fell silent, and turned to regard the stout young dwarf, his beard hardly long enough to bear two beads. But he spoke with words that seemed ancient enough to be carved in the roots of a mountain.

"A dwarf does NOTHING by half-measure! If we do not put our all into it, we do not even consider beginning a task! Where a man swears fealty to a lord one year, then rises against him ten years later, we stand by our oath! Where a gnome abandons his project in pursuit of the latest mechanism or chemical to catch his eye, we study it until it is perfected, and we know EXACTLY how it can be used, in ANY situation! The works of man crumble and decay over centuries, and the arts of elves fade like mist over millenia. But the craft of the dwarf? The craft of the dwarf shall STAND, until the stars go dark and the sun itself fades to cinders!"

[rdrivestudios]

When the hammer falls,
this song echoes through my neighbor's walls

[huzi]

I was born without claws, without fangs, without scales. So, I forged them in fire and crafted them of steel.

I'm a simple dwarf, I see Clamavi De Profundis, I let my hammer fall on the like button.
