Verse I — The Mine That Whispered In the mountain old where the cold stone sighed, Where hammers rang and lanterns died, They dug too deep by fate or greed, And woke a truth the dark would breed. The Deep replied with breath and flame, It spoke a fear, it spoke a name, Not kings nor gods nor crowns of gold— But Stonefist, carved in days of old. Chorus — Dig and Stand So dig, dig deep, but stand your ground, For stone remembers every sound, By hammer, fire, blood, and bone, No dwarf stands ever all alone. Raise the shield, light the flame, Sing the song, cry the name— STONEFIST! STONEFIST! Till the mountain breaks again. Verse II — The First Horrors Fall The first horror rose on screaming steel, The second bled where traps did seal, Barrels burned and runes did cry, The mountain shook, but would not die. A titan woke from ages bound, Its feet split stone, its fists shook ground, Side by side they met the dark, Hammer struck like lightning spark. Chorus — Boom-Boom and Glory Boom-boom fire and thunder roll, Black powder sings in dwarven soul, By wick and spark and fearless hand, We die by mine, we die to stand. Raise the shield, light the flame, Sing the song, cry the name— STONEFIST! STONEFIST! Till the mountain breaks again. Verse III — The Devourer Lied They thought the Devourer was the end, A final foe no blade could bend, But deeper still the truth did wait, A hunger older than all fate. The Star-Eater stirred below the stone, It knew all names, it spoke just one, The sky grew dark, the shield burned bright, The world prepared its final fight. Bridge — Feast Before the End They feasted hard the night before, With song and ale and ancient lore, For if tomorrow brought their doom, They’d face it fed beneath the moon. The children fled, the elders stood, Every soul where duty should, No crown of gold, no throne of lies— Just hammer raised against the sky. Chorus — For Those About to Rock For those about to rock—we stand! For those about to fight—we slam! Let bagpipes scream, let war drums cry, Let lightning split the burning sky! Raise the shield, light the flame, Sing the song, cry the name— STONEFIST! STONEFIST! Till the mountain breaks again. Verse IV — The Titan’s Choice The titan bled, the stone cracked wide, Yet still it stood, yet still it tried, “Old friend,” said Stonefist, “One last stand?” The titan roared, “I DIE BY HAND.” It took the beast, it took the fall, Dragged god and void to darkness’ call, No fear, no cry, no turning back— Just stone and fire and final crack. Final Chorus — The Heartbreaker Boom— The mountain fell, the Deep implored, The Star-Eater was no more, Stone sealed void, the world stood still, Paid in blood and broken will. Raise the shield, light the flame, Sing forever this one name— STONEFIST! STONEFIST! King of Deep and Hammered Flame. Outro — The Quiet After Now ash falls soft where horrors died, No heartbeat stirs the buried tide, And carved in stone for time to see— Here stood a king… so all stood free.
