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 mysteries that sleep safe inside

His hall

His towers of stone

Shall not be overthrown

For eternity

They are guarded by the king

Insanity and the power that it brings



Madness reigns

In the hall of the mountain king

Oh yeah



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
