Here's another little gem I've run across in the course of my recent and ongoing discovery of the Yogscast. Herlod Thunderfall, the dwarven Valkyrie demolitions expert, claims that this is the national anthem of Undermountain, the dwarvish kingdom in northern Alfheim whence she hails. She... might not be telling the truth about that. On the other hand, she might. It's hard to tell with dwarves. Fair warning: The chorus of this song will get stuck in your head. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Oh hey, I never actually posted the lyrics to this. Let me correct that.
Brothers of the mine, rejoice! Swing, swing, swing with me Raise your pick and raise your voice! Sing, sing, sing with me Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold and more Hidden in the mountain store Born underground Suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark The safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on, brothers, sing with me: I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole The sunlight will not reach this low Dig deep in the mine Never saw the blue moon glow Dwarves won't fly so high Fill a glass and down some mead Stuff your bellies at the feast Stumble home and fall asleep Dreaming in our mountain keep Born underground Grown inside a rocky womb The earth is our cradle The mountain shall become our tomb Face us on the battlefield, you will meet your doom We do not fear what lies beneath We can never dig too deep I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole Born underground Suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark The safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on, brothers, sing with me: I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole - The Yogscast "Diggy Diggy Hole" (2014) |

LAST EDITED ON Jun-06-19 AT 06:53 PM (EDT) >So... evidently dwarven metal is a thing, and (one of?) the band(s?) >practicing it has covered "Diggy Diggy Hole". Oh my — this was a thing of beauty. OK, hands up if you were reminded of that scene in the intro to the first Hobbit movie; you know, the bit in the mines under Erebor, with the dwarf smith holding a red-hot metal ingot over his head... he steps on a pedal beside the anvil... and two huge hammers come down from above and WHAP!!! squishes it (the ingot, not the dwarf) into the right shape. It's odd, I don't usually go for metal because it's TOO LOUD and I can't make out the words... or the melody line... sometimes not the bass line either. But this, I really enjoyed. Once I'd stopped laughing. -- Unable to save the day: File is read-only. |
