Lyrics
The anthem does have lyrics, but are not well known and not normally sung. The lyrics are as follow
Far up where the eagles cry
Mountains high
Touch the sky
Wintry winds with dreary voices
Sighing all night long
Peak to peak the echoes ring
Carrying
Tarrying
All the sadness of the past
Recalled in lonely song
Far above the reach of sight
Towers white
Show their might
Reigning kings of all they see
Kneeling below
In the chasm waters pour
Evermore
Rush and roar
Dropping from the chilly height
Crowned with white snow
Bright and shining eyes appear
Drawing near
Pointed ear
Listening for the cheerful call
To start the revelry
Turned up shoes that pitter pat
Like a cat
Knowing that
Merry music weaves a spell
Of merriment and glee
Haughty chatter, twinkling light
Burning bright
What a sight
Kingdoms in the dark below
Never know day
Darkness gone from rocky hall
Smokey wall
Column tall
Shadows playing to and fro
Make it so gay
Tiny voices shout and sing
With the king
Entering
Robed in royal cloth of mountain green
Merrily he greets his band
Waves his hand
In command
Now the noise of laughter
Fill the scene
High fiddly, fiddly, fiddly
Hear the elven fiddlers play
High fiddly, fiddly, fiddly
Round the revelers swing and sway
High fiddly, fiddly, fiddly
High up the mountain wall
High fiddly, fiddly, fiddly
Rumbling, tumbling one and all
High, high
Now the mountain opens wide
High, high
Tumbling out, a goblin tide
High, high
They hurry, helter skelter
High!
