[Intro – Folk-Flöte über Orgel, langsamer Aufbau, dann Gitarren-Wall] (Flute melody echoes like an ancient call, organ swells, guitars crash in.) [Verse 1 – erzählend, getragen] Through stone and fire, ink and steel, The voices rise, the truth we feel. From ancient halls to future lands, The written word in dwarf-made hands. [Pre-Chorus – Chor steigert, Call & Response] (Choir:) "Pages burning!" (Lead:) "Still we write!" (Choir:) "Ages turning!" (Lead:) "From dark to light!" [Chorus – Hymne, hymnisch, voller Chor + Orgel] ⛰️ We bind the ages, line by line, Through fire and shadow, the word will shine. From forge to future, the truth remains, The ink of dwarves runs in our veins! [Verse 2 – treibend, Gitarren marschieren] Letters of steel, carved deep in stone, Songs of the past we’ve always known. Machines of thunder, knowledge flows, Where it began, the whole world knows. [Bridge – nur Orgel + Chor, langsam episch steigernd] (Gregorian-style male choir:) "Knowledge for all… forever we stand… Defenders of time… with ink in our hand!" [Chorus – doppelt, hymnisch, zum Mitsingen] ⛰️ We bind the ages, line by line, Through fire and shadow, the word will shine. From forge to future, the truth remains, The ink of dwarves runs in our veins! [Outro – Orgel + Folk-Flöte, Crowd-Chant] (Crowd (schreit, marschiert im Rhythmus):) "We bind the ages! We bind the ages!" Fade out mit Hämmern und Flötenmelodie.
