I walked towards Reykjavik as always alone

When a band of dwarves seized me pulling me through stone

Down into their underworld where birds have never been

Wickedness and wonders the weirdest things ever seen

A silver dwarf seated on his mighty dark throne

Held up his wand and spoke to me in dire tone

"You come from way above and shall prove your worth

This ordeal has been waiting since before your birth

A victim of Destiny is what you claim to be

If you've been wronged then for sure you'll be free

But if your prove too weak to accept your fate

That means your freedom will forever have to wait

Only dwarves will know your all-too human shame

Only small men will speak your dishonoured name

You'll stay in the underworld where birds have never been

Among gold and silver the weirdest things ever seen

In the dim timelessness where only spiders mate

It might take you a thousand years to honour your fate

Thnk of Destiny for each rust-red drop that falls

On your brow while you stare at these stately walls

You must teach your stomach to let go of its greed

Your throat will learn to abate its strong need

You'll ask if life is an illness if you can be cured

In the end if you make it your story might be heard

The day you can bear the clothes Destiny gave to you

Then we can give you the powers see you stay true

You'll be free to leave this place deprived of life and light

Climb up towards the white sun to take up your great fight

You'll speak like a god before the cheering masses

You'll stand like a cliff in the stream of time that passes

Choose right over wrong there's nothing in between

Never be haughty or spiteful stay calm and serene

Drink the wine of winners live with pride in the sun

As a man of the sword and a master of the word

Not as a wild wolf forever on the run

Whose life's an illness that cannot be cured

Remember your friends where birds have never been

Wickedness and wonders the weirdest dwarves ever seen

We shall stay behind in this mine of wisdom and gold

When leaving the Underworld be strong and bold

As you climb through the stone you'll again be all alone"

Thus spake the silver dwarf from his mighty dark throne
