A Thousand Grudges - Thorgrim Grudgebearer Song

[Intro - 4 lines] I am Thorgrim Grudgebearer, High King upon the throne, Keeper of the Great Book, where every debt is known, The mountains keep their secrets, the dead still speak their names, And every oath unbroken shall rekindle ancient flames, [Verse 1 - 8 lines] I write the Greenskin plunder, the holds they tore apart, The burning of our strongholds carved deep within my heart, I mark the Skaven treachery, their tunnels and their lies, The theft of ancient relics beneath the mountain skies, The Elves still owe for bloodshed from the War of Vengeance days, For pride and broken kinship that set the world ablaze, I mark the Chaos raiders and the ruin that they spread, Each curse upon the Dawi is accounted for and read, [Pre-Chorus 1 - 2 lines] The years may bury kingdoms beneath the drifting snow, But grudges carved in runes are debts that never go, [Chorus 1 - 4 lines] A thousand grudges fill these pages, line by line, A thousand debts await repayment marked in ink and sign, Let oathbreakers remember, let every foe take heed, The Book remembers everything, and justice shall proceed, [Verse 2 - 8 lines] I write the men who promised and abandoned sworn accords, Who left the Dawi standing alone before their lords, I mark the Vampire tyrants who fed on dwarf and kin, Their castles and their graveyards all entered for their sin, The Beastmen burn the borderlands, their foul and twisted breed, Their names are etched in granite beside each savage deed, The servants of Dark Gods who shattered gate and wall, Have earned a place eternal where grudges never fall, [Pre-Chorus 2 - 2 lines] The Ancestors stand watching from halls of living stone, And every wrong unanswered weighs heavy on the throne, [Chorus 2 - 4 lines] A thousand grudges fill these pages, line by line, A thousand debts await repayment marked in ink and sign, Let oathbreakers remember, let every foe take heed, The Book remembers everything, and justice shall proceed, [Bridge - 8 lines] I've turned these ancient pages through winter, war, and flame, And kingdoms long forgotten still answer to their name, Some foes were ground to dust before their debt was paid, Yet still their crimes remain here where every mark is laid, The crown is forged of duty, the burden mine to bear, The voices of my fathers still thunder through the air, No king may cast aside what the Ancestors demand, For every grudge recorded shall face the reckoning's hand, [Pre-Chorus 3 - 2 lines] So raise the banners higher and sound the anvils clear, The hour of repayment draws ever, ever near, [EPIC Final Chorus - 8 lines] A thousand grudges fill these pages, line by line, A thousand debts await repayment marked in ink and sign, From Karaz-a-Karak's throne my judgment shall be heard, For Dawi oath and honor are stronger than the sword, A thousand grudges carried through every age and war, For every fallen hold and every shattered rune-carved door, Let mountains shake with fury, let all the world take heed, The Book remembers everything, and every debt shall bleed,
