Lyrics:
The Ways Long Past
What do you seek, young mind of ignorance,
On this book hoard gaze with reverence,
Honor these pages
Honor the sages
Honor in mind all the ways long past
Kept in this vault is creation’s history
Kept in this vault are Dwarven secrets
How wilt thou measure them?
How wilt thou treasure them?
How wilt thou live all the ways long past?
Told in these tomes are tales of Tormingar
Binder of book and scribe of saga
Tales of far history
Tales of marred mystery
Tales of the dark in the ways long past.
Tales of the blood spilt to build our kingdom
Tales of the heroes strong in courage,
Stains on the garment
Stains on the parchment
Stains red and black of the ways long past.
Scrolls of the Dwarven forge and armory
Scrolls of the stone road, vast and glowing
Cities of symmetry
Cities of industry
Cities of stone wind in ways long past
Myth of the golden pool of Oron,
Smith of the diamond, Boic Bravesoul,
Days of antiquity
Days of iniquity
Days good and ill forged the ways long past
Search for the runes of rites and rituals
Search for the rooms now safe and secret
Knowledge is binding
Knowledge worth finding
Knowledge of life and the ways long past.

[@eliasvernieri]

i love it, and i would love to have a "wiki" with all the lore of your wonderfull world

[@ravensmythe1]

Thank you for such incredible music! There aren't enough dwarven songs out there and your works honor the archetypes of the children of stone perfectly! Keep up the glorious work!

[@seanrea550]

We need a hammerdeep Playlist

[@benjamingrimm6110]

We would like to see all the dwarven music grouped into a single album. Even the kids are singing the lyrics to Honor and Might!

[@martydom666]

Thank y'all. If I wasn't a 6'1 and looking like a Viking who missed all the food halls. 😅 Id be a dwarf.

Just like the way it should be

Yep🫡

[@mandalorianexecute66]

This is the way.😁

[@embersofavalon395]

I love the different style of this song compared to your other Dwarven songs of the Hammerdeep collection, really makes you feel as if you're in an ancient library. Also, gotta love the callbacks to your previous songs.

[@colombanharel9156]

Yes the others one we are in the mines !!!

[@josephamendolea3431]

Me: Hast thou books on the Ways Long Past? Dwarven Librarian: Knowest not though the Dewey Decimal System?!?!?! 😛

[@techpriest6962]

The long way home... through mountain and stone. I dig through dirt... to find the place of my birth. For the legends tell... of a fortress that fell. Our old home... of marble and stone. - Words of an ancient Dwarf digging not for treasure or gold.

[@darthvadersith514]

As someone who works in History museums and archives, who thoroughly enjoys doing research, and whose favorite smell is that of old books, this really resonates with me. Love it!

[@arieljacobsegal]

Me too; I work at the library of congress and I have digitized Hebrew manuscripts that are centuries old. Thanks Clamavi de Profundis!

[@darthvadersith514]

@@arieljacobsegal Ooooh! Sounds like my kind of work!

[@widgren87]

I must my favorite part is the final one and each lines brings forth it's own image in my head. "Search for the runes of rites and rituals" especially bring forth the image of a Dwarven smith chanting runes into existence before hammering them into the objects he is making. The last 3 lines makes me think of Dwarves having reclaimed a lost city of theirs and trying to find every scrap and shard of lost writing they can. "Knowledge is binding Knowledge worth finding Knowledge of life and the ways long past." I really like this one, thank you for making it.

[@BartTheBardOfficial]

Came for Misty Mountains Extended, stayed for original Dwarven Songs

[@CPForte]

Well, can´t say no to more dwarven songs. I really love how this one emphasizes tradition and the very long history of the dwarves over some of the more obvious concepts such as mining, forging or even hard work and protecting your clan or keep.

[@Tinnesa]

Lots of dwarven songs lately - I like it!

[@j.leerling2.057]

It's great that celebrities like CDP are encouraging young people to read!😅

[@765987000]

This is really cool. Love that you folks are just expanding your own dwarven fantasy world through lore in songs.

[@ghrosenb]

I love how these feel like Tolkien without being Tolkien. That's the hardest art.

[@bradydonovan6180]

DnD character idea. Dwarf lore bard, old, even by dwarf standards, out adventuring to find lost knowledge of his people and record the deeds of the hero’s he travels with.

[@Rhae_of_Sun]

Let no one claim that Dwarves are only good for killing orks and striking metal. Read a book or two and you'll find that chisels can carve magic runes just as easily as pillars of stone. At least I imagine the gentlemen in the Hammerdeep library would say something to that effect.

[@JunkedUpKitten]

I listened to this after shaving my beard and now I need to shave again.

[@vitekjaxjilecek2641]

Thats the way how keep past immortal! Your music is really breathtaking and amazing! Warm greetings from Erebor! ⚒️✊

A fellow Ereborian, may your beard grow long and your name forever scribed in history !

New D&D session ideas obtained.

[@JTB_1020]

Simply fantastic. I am glad I got to listen to this after Mass. Thank you!

[@dawnfox6291]

Such a beautiful song. While dwarves are known for their smithing and masonry skills, it is oft overlooked that that knowledge is passed down and is amongst their greatest treasures, Well done Clamavi, I look forward to your next song!

[@thatguyfromrezero5846]

I'm adding this Dwarven song to my ever-growing Collection! Thank you!

[@timothyosborn637]

I love how you are referencing other songs and even hinting at some of their motifs.

[@GraemeFaber-ls5wp]

Nobody else could make a library sound so epic

This is going in the book! But not the book of grudges. No, this goes in the book of praises!

[@jackthedragon612]

Great work as always. I'd like to hear more about the "Golden Poll of Oron" as it sounds interesting.

[@aarakasi]

This one have such a personality, such a different savor I love it Another masterpiece

[@joshualane1417]

Beneath the mountain father's gaze. We made our home in halls of gray In vaults of steel and hearths of stone. The dwarves of yore would build alone Ne're seen the pale moon's eyes. Nor the golden ray's of the sun in the sky The squall of the sea knows not our name The cold wind's chill we can not claim. For beneath the mountain father's gaze, We made our home in halls of grey In vaults of steel and hearths of stone, The dwarves of yore would sing their song. With bones of steel and hearts of stone We craft and build our mountain home From the roots of the earth to the pale windy peaks A watchful eye forever we keep

[@reikoyukawa4873]

Is this another song? What is this one?

[@joshualane1417]

@@reikoyukawa4873 Nah, just something I came up with Decided to share it here

[@spyrofrost9158]

Surprised how often you guys put these songs out. The world always needs more dwarf music.

[@scalyvaporeon2232]

All of these original dwarven songs are AMAZING and epic :D

Im a histroical linguistics weirdo, and all i could think is how cool it would be to pour over thoughs scrolls and brake apart the language to discipher them😂

[@ericlambert6011]

Did they hint at new songs with some of those names in the songs?

[@CarolineFlynn-bp4ns]

Hammerdeep audiobooks please!!!!

[@ImperialKnight770]

Wouldn't be surprised if one of those tomes is a Book of Grudges

[@murihadd_5017]

After hard work, time for a great song. Thank you, Clamavi!

[@Benjamin-kh4mj]

Absolutely amazing. I listen to these while doing hard labor. Nothing feels hard when you feel like a dwarf💪

[@MilitaryHistory1]

Ahhhh brings back good memories, I'm still hoping to see a book Based in your world of Hammer Deep CDP let me know

[@RONdomTheology]

Church History moment

[@marcelgrabowski5939]

I love how you prompt to lore, and, by extension, other of your songs; Smith of the Diamond, Boic Bravesoul on example.

[@Thanaeon]

I think this is one of your best original compositions. I really dig the atmosphere here. (Pun not intended.)

[@lordheklsmosh9490]

I love this, I think Build is still my favorite song but this song is up there!!

[@bobrdakurwa]

I've been listening to your dwarven/Tolkien songs for 2+ years now, it's great. It pushed me to play M2TW DaC for the dwarven campainght, Balin's march to Khazad-Dum. It was the most difficult and authentic roleplaying.

[@ymir36896]

Simply incredible, keep up the great work lads!

[@filosofiamultiversal]

Mais uma obra prima desta família mais talentosa do século XXI! É incrível como vocês não param de surpreender! Um sonho é ver um show ao vivo 😍

[@insceldaron]

A message from the Dryads: What you dwarves lack in interdisciplinarity, you well make up for in sheer skill. The libraries of Hammerdeep are ones almost to rival Kedros. Impressive.

[@ajthegreat3329]

And into the playlist it goes. I do wonder does the Hammerdeep collection have an official order?

[@valleyscharping]

I have personally translated and added a few verses and a chorus to the oldest English hymn (Cædmon's Hymn), and written a tune for it. I would be honored if you would consider recording a version of it. Your vocal and mixing skills are perfect for ny happy, medieval sounding hymn. How could I send it to you to consider?

[@branedeadzero]

Another masterpiece! You have yet again made this dwarf very happy!❤

[@wyattbanfield2725]

Any skyrim players here? Feels like I'm in a dwarven version of the arcaneum in the college of winterhold

Awesome. Another song to get stuck in my head.

[@jrpgnation6375]

ROCK AND STONE!

[@robeagleR]

This style and tone is much much different ,in all the good ways of course Its like a more magical chronical compared to the more.. Dwarves Working and Singing as they hammer.

[@archimedesfort1650]

Great dwarven song with connection to your other dwarven songs. I love elves more, but your dwarven song are absolutely amazing.

[@emperorwasabi3038]

I thought for sure I saw that Geoff Castellucci was a part of this group but now I can't find who the singers are at all. Does anyone else know?

[@shireling5410]

Perfect thing to wake up to!❤

[@laurasaxon694]

Lovely original work. I can imagine that Hammerdeep has an extensive library, with books on every subject, including healing.

[@MementiMori]

I think i saw somewhere that at least the Negankerdak saga was getting it's own novel series? Is that true, if so are there any updates? I love your lore and want more!

[@davish7864]

Great as always my friends!

[@RONdomTheology]

If we keep letting the chuch become cowo, then in 200 years, people will be perplexed by these "strange" rites that we do and this song will totally apply to them searching for true meaning in the Divine Service

[@RexKochanski]

Are you talking about the same Church built on an Apostle Christ renamed Rock, to which Church and to whom Peter's successors in his chair of office He promised would be a rock against which the hordes of Hades would not prevail? (ex-Shady Tax Collector's Memoir*, Chapter 16, cf. Isaiah, Chapter 22) *"...the memoirs of the Apostles, called 'Gospels'. . ." explanation of the 'Divine Service' and the Real Presence of Christ in the Sacrament/Sacrifice, written to Emperor Antoninus Pius and his adopted heir Marcus Aurelius in 155 A.D., by St. Justin Martyr. Courage, there is a "great cloud of martyrs" cheering on the great race down the Way with the Truth to the Life!

Is there going to be a Hammerdeep specific playlist? I can't tell which songs are part of it and which aren't lol

I know this channel has a history of making dwarven songs, but I'd love to hear a dragon song, lol
