This song is about the defence and fall of Ekrund, a fallen Dwarf hold in the Warhammer universe.
During -1498 IC, the Badlands were overrun by Greenskins. Ekrund fell to the Orcs after many months of intense fighting by the vastly outnumbered Dwarfs. Since then, Ekrund has remained in the hands of...
From the fortress old
The dwarves on the gates are crying for war
And coming with the night the blood will flow
Before their home
There's no turning back anymore
From the fortress old
They're holding the lines and ready to die
They stack on the walls
The swarm has arrived at the gates of their home
There's no turning back anymore
Here we are, at the gates of the mountain
Hold thе line
We're alonе but no one was left behind
We're outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, but there will be no surrender
Here we are, at the gates of the mountain
Hold the line, feel the breath of the horde that's charging us
We're outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire
Fire, fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire (fire), fire (fire)
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall
Dark is night, not a star in the sky
Will shine on us, we're alone but no one
Was left behind, with desperation in our eyes
We wait to die in the forthcoming attack
Orcs ahead, at the gates of the mountain
Hold the line
Feel the breath of the horde that's charging us
We're outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire
Fire, fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire (fire), fire (fire)
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall
Fire, fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire (fire), fire (fire)
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
We will answer to their fire with fire
Fire, fire, fire
Fire with fire
Fire, fire, fire
Fire with fire
Fire, fire, fire
Fire with fire
Fight the fire with fire
We will answer all, there's no choice anymore
Dwarves of Ekrund reunite together
In front of the gates of the fort
No step back for us
We stand firm like a wall made of stone
Dwarves of Ekrund reunite together
Defending the gates of our home
Here we are, at the gates of the mountain
Hold the line, feel the breath of the horde
That's charging us
We're outnumbered as defenders
Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire!
Fire, fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire, fire, fire, fire
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall
Fire, fire
Fire and stone
We came from the forge together
And we'll answer to the call
With fire, fire, fire, fire
We'll kill them all
As long as we are together
At the gates we'll not fall
