Fleeing before the vast Dragon Armies Cities destroyed with fire and ice Carrion beasts feast on the bodies Surrounded by fear, no hope for their lives I'd never seen man or elf before We always fight for ourselves For thousands of years No Thain had decreed That we should open the gates The Gates of Thorbardin Our mountains of steel The Gates of Thorbardin Tempered with blood and the will They wander our halls of mystery and wonder They're strange and deformed, they're weak and they're frail But in my own heart, I know we are brothers And when we unite, the Dark Queen shall fall I'd never seen man or elf before We always fight for ourselves Together we stand with weapon in hand And we will hold the gates You maggots, you filth, you disease We'll chop off your ears, get down on your knees My dragons, my armies, my slaves There's no use to run, you run to your graves Our fire, our acid, our magic Cower before our engine of pain I have slain man and elf before You can rot in that Dwarven cave Together you'll die As we rule the sky And we will crush The Gates of Thorbardin Our mountains of steel The Gates of Thorbardin Tempered with blood and the will You're gonna die As we rule the sky
