Far away In a land caught between time and space Where the books of life lay Within this castle of stone The mountain king roams All alone in here But he's not the only one Lost inside Forever hidden from the sun Madness reigns In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah His deep Dark eyes keep watch on his kingdom And the mysteries that sleep safe inside His hall His towers of stone Shall not be overthrown For eternity It is guarded by the king, yeah Insanity And the power that it brings Madness reigns In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ I say to one, no Come with me Stay close by my side As the darkness of night closes in Don't fear In the thunder, it roars When the mountain king calls all his children home To where I hid him we must run Refuge here But I was forever on the run Madness reigns, my friends In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
