"Boic Bravesoul" is an original song we wrote based on the dwarves from fantasy literature like that of J.R.R. Tolkien. We are continuing to develop our own Dwarven legend through multiple musical compositions. We hope you enjoy it:)

We wrote the lyrics, composed, and arranged the piece. My family sang it.

Please no bad language in the comments. We want this to be family friendly:) Thank you!

Lyrics:

Boic Bravesoul

Come and peer into the cave,
Forbidden Gate where Boic brave,
Went down to save us from the grave.

Our fathers sinned through avarice,
The open hand became a fist,
And greed: a miser’s drunkenness.

The Dwarven treasure trove increased,
Incessant mining roused a beast,
The eldest born of fire released.

Corporeal in his domain,
He bound the Dwarves with heated chain,
Save one, to fetch him gems, remained.

The Dwarf named Boic stood his ground,
Amid the flames deep underground,
The fiendish voice did then resound,

“Puny Dwarf, what treasure, tell, DEMON
Have you brought me down to hell?
Your single hope to please me well.”

“I went above, beyond your plane, BOIC
And thought, whatever might you gain,
Since you would think of all as plain?

“But there is one thing you have not, BOIC
And I have it, so I brought,
My few good works, a simple lot.”

“I am death and I am gloom DEMON
I am everlasting doom,
This chamber gapes to be your tomb.”

And then they fought with bitter rage,
A Dwarf and demon, flame encaged,
One victor, One to pay the wage.

Upon the beast’s back, Boic clung,
And treasures round the demon hung,
Boic seized a diamond like the sun.

He gripped his blacksmith’s hammer dull,
To subjugate the demon’s soul.
He drove the gem into its skull,

“I purge this mountain, hear my voice, BOIC
You shall leave, you have no choice,
Free from sin, we shall rejoice.”

And Boic’s reign shall live a creed,
Devoid of avarice and greed,
Where wealth is meant to serve a need.”

Forbidden Gate stands at the hole,
To remind us of our goal,
Our wealth is found inside the soul.

[paulzuk]

What I found poetic was that the great hero was a blacksmith. Because the flaming demon would seem unassailable to the usual glorious warrior-hero, as their armor would offer no protection.

But a blacksmith is used to working by the searing-hot fire of the forge, and is not afraid of it. Soot-stained blacksmith's hands were what was needed to destroy the flaming manifestation of greed.

Amazing piece.

I am amazed by the fact that you came up with a song where a gemstone is used to defeat a demon and made the moral of it "wealth is meant to serve a need". It's genius.

[Neo.]

I’m starting to think this channel is fond of Dwarves

[Ringlord]

From now on my headcanon is that Hammerdeep got it’s name from Boic Bravesoul hammering the diamond deep into the skull of the demon

[codyyoung]

Human: So, what do you use your treasure for now?
Dwarf: You know, trade, crafting, hammering into the head of a balrog
Human: What?
Dwarf: What?

[naiysliogan]

Boic Bravesoul : " *Our wealth is found inside the soul* "
The song of Hammerdeep : " *For wealth is found inside the heart* "

The dwarf of Hammerdeep learned well. Boic should be proud of his people

[cmgriffith]

Gandalf: "This foe is beyond any of you. Run!"
*Boic Bravesoul pops out, hammer in one hand and diamond in the other*
Boic: "I've got this covered, all of you run!"

[jonathanhamilton]

I really liked the effect of Boic striking the diamond into the demon's head to banish it, super cool. I'm excited to see what comes next in these dwarven songs. I also hope the Viking plot that started with Strong continues, as I really liked those songs as well. Nai Eru tye mánata.

"Where wealth is meant to serve a need"
I agree, that's how it should be.
Diamond works well on a stonecutter's blade, and gold makes exceptional electrical wire, as well as atomic radiation shielding. Silver reflects light with nie unmatched proficiency, and should be used to light even the deepest mines, from the top of a mountain tower that reaches past the clouds, so that the sun it reflects is all day long, uninterrupted.
Iron Ore has many more uses than ruby gems, and as such, should be valued more.

But the most Valuable treasure is within the heart of any honorable Dwarf, or man or elf or orc or goblin, for that matter; any race can forge valuable treasure within their soul, if they are to truly want to.

[michaelmatasso]

Well, I found the backstory for my Dwarf Paladin’s Order.

[Maribro]

I love the lore you’ve created for these dwarves!

[HyperboreanJihad]

“I am death and I am gloom, I am everlasting doom” that line goes absolutely hard

[Moosbaer]

And that's how Boic Bravesoul founded Hammerdeep und became it's first king under the mountain. Let the legend grow and grow...

Beautiful piece as always :)

[j.c.r.m]

Our dear Professor would be very proud of you, my friends! Thanks for all these songs and all the references to our dear Tolkien. I really appreciate it and for sure all the other followers of this channel too. I send you all the strength and blessings, keep giving us these little jewels.

I may or may not have made Hammerdeep a Dwarven city in my DnD Campaign setting, and used the songs as the basis for its history. The youngest Daughter of Boic is currently Queen and her people now reside within the nearby human city of Northgate as refugees, as a dragon like none seen in thousands of years has taken the city as its new home.

And for any curious, his youngest daughter is queen because his eldest son died in battle with his elderly father, repelling an Orcish/Goliath raid on dwarven villages in the nearby valleys, and when the crown fell to his middle son he abdicated the throne claiming he was unworthy, and left the city leaving his barely 70 year old sister to have to take the crown as the last Heir. Though she shares the same beliefs as her father on the matter of wealth, so who knows, maybe it was for the best that she was the one to inherit.

[Lodestone]

I appreciate what you did with the theme of greed throughout. First, the dwarves accidentally summon the demon because of their greed. Then the demon leads to its demise because of its greed "He bound the dwarves with heated chain save one to fetch him gems remained." And then the demon's death is actually caused by a diamond being hammered into its skull.

[dieucondorimperial]

I like the morale of this song : the demon appears because of the avarice and the greed of the dwarfs digging too deep, and Boic beat him by using a diamond : wealth served a purpose.

[justpodzol]

Clamavi De Profundis is breaking the laws of the universe by making continuously more epic songs.

[nandorweiss]

This is just an amazing piece of art and music. Love the fact, that there is still good music, not only these songs that you can hear in the radio, that tell no stories. Really love this catchy rhythm and the sung Dialoge between Boic and the Demon. It is a full story how all of your songs. The demons voice: Nah, I think it is OK. The rest is just beautiful. Everyone who was a part of this masterpiece can be proud of himself. Really looking forward to the next Dwarven song. My new favorite. Keep up doing songs like this.

"Where wealth is meant to serve a need"
I'll remember that.
