Lyrics

[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
The gods drew lots to share the world,
Mountains, meadows, seas unfurled.
But when no land for orcs was shown,
Gruumsh rose up to claim his own.

[Verse 2]
His spear split hills, cracked stone in rage,
The meadows burned, the plains laid waste.
“Here my people dwell and grow—
One day we’ll reap what you now sow!”

[Chorus]
When Corellon and Gruumsh did fight,
The skies grew dark, the seas took fright.
Blood and fire scarred the land,
The fate of elves and orcs was planned.

[Verse 3]
Corellon met him, swift and bright,
Blade of starlight against the night.
For days they clashed, the heavens roared,
Till Corellon’s blood fell—elves were born.

[Verse 4]
Gruumsh struck hard, yet victory turned,
Corellon’s blade with fury burned.
One eye lost, the orc god fled,
His blood scorched earth, the fields ran red.

[Bridge] (key change) (harmony)
The scars remain where gods once fought,
A price in blood the world has bought.
Elves and orcs in endless strife,
Echo that battle with every life.

[Verse 5]
Now every clash of bow and spear
Recalls that fight in ages drear.
A feud begun at dawn’s first breath,
Still marches on through life and death.

[Chorus] (harmony)
When Corellon and Gruumsh did fight,
The skies grew dark, the seas took fright.
Blood and fire scarred the land,
The fate of elves and orcs was planned.

[Instrumental outro]
