Shadow and Stone Lyrics by Gatekeeper

From Western Shores

2023

[Verse 1]
Hark, the haunted hills doth sing this night
A tale of foul treachery and woe
Alliance sworn to stave the dark one's might
Broken and abandoned, we bemoan

[Chorus]
Join us now, for the hour has come
Stand and hear a horn in the hills ringing
A place of shadow and stone
Where oaths were sworn

[Verse 2]
Men of the mountain called to serve, called to fight
The shadow looms at our walls
Moon-tower has fallen and the white tree hath burned
Raise your arms and join us, 'ere the Southron kingdom falls
Into the hands of the dark one

[Bridge]
Heed the call
Stand for all
Heed the call
Destiny beholdens you
Heed the call
The horn cries, do you hear?
Stand for all
The doom of men is near
Heed the call
Stand with your brethren, true
Destiny beholdens you

[Chorus]
Rise up, for now the hour has come
Stand and hear a horn in the hills ringing
A place of shadow and stone
Where oaths were sworn and broken

[Verse 3]
Where do you hide, you cowards?
You will pay penance for this betrayal
Flee my wrath to your hills
Where you shall not know peace
Forever cursed be, oathbreakers
Till your pact is fulfilled

[Chorus]
Awaken, now the hour has come
Stand and hear a horn in the hills ringing
A place of shadow and stone
Where oaths were sworn and broken

[Verse 4]
Heed to the call of the one true heir to Isildur's line
Lend him your arms and peace you will find
Till then we will curse your name
Till then you rot, guarding the pass of the dead
Mockery of men, you will suffer eternally

[Chorus]
Awaken, now the hour has come
Stand and hear a horn in these hills ringing for you

[Verse 5]
Beneath shadow and stone
The oath of men was sworn
In the hills to the south of mountains white
By axe and sword they swore
I curse their names to the stone's black pass
A soul's price to slay
The mountain's tomb shall seal their doom
Till the age has come to pay
Till the age has come to pay
