Bearded History

By: Beorji Posted on: September 13, 2010

Come my brethren and drink with me

Recall the tale of our history

Grab a pint and soak your beard

Shout it out so all can hear

Forged from mountain metal

And Brillach, the bearded star

Lord Phaestus did create us

And make us who we are

Farming land and carving wood,

Tanning leather and fishing good

Working stone and forging steel

The love for brew He did instill

Hail the Dwarf Father!

To us our life He gave

Hail the Dwarf Father!

It's for Him we'll never shave

Once we built, crafted to order

Raising cities with no mortar

We forged for use but not for look

Our river of art instead a brook

Our Father quickly realized

What was missing in our minds

He sought the knowledge of Proteus

To bring sentience to our kind

Hail the Soulforger!

To us He gave free will

Hail the Soulforger!

For Him our mugs we fill

A call for battle to us was asked

To slay His enemies we were tasked

We blindly took our weapons in hand

Our consciousness yet to understand

Remember The Great Price

And the sacrifice that was made

Raise your ale in recollection

May their memory never fade

Hail the fallen!

May their forges never cool

Hail the fallen!

For them we drink our brew

Sew together your fashions new

Paint the canvas with beautiful view

Hammers on the forge forever ring

Sing the sweet song of Industry

Heed Dwarf Father's prophecy

Dwarves in heart we will remain

Use what has been given us

Our old glory we shall regain

So come my brethren, drink with me

Remember the tale of our history

To all our kin, near and far

Never forget who we are
