Hollens, Peter - Song Of Durin Lyrics






The king he was on carven throne
In many-pillared halls of stone
With golden roof and silver floor
And runes of power upon the door

The light of sun and star and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
They shone for ever fair and wide

The world is grey, the mountains old
The forge's fire is ashen-cold
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls

The shadow lies upon his tomb
In Moria, in Khazad-dûm
But still the sunken stars appear
In dark and windless Mirrormere

There lies his crown in water deep
Till Durin wakes again from sleep

Hollens, Peter Song Of Durin Comments
  1. P.... H....

    I recently took off the end talk off this video so you could playlist it (without the talking at the end) AS REQUESTED!! Please enjoy!! Any other OLD videos you would like me to do that with let me know!!

  2. F.... H....

    Great mixed voice and super blend between it and head voice! :O

  3. P.... W....

    You have a very beautiful voice,but I don't think this style fits with the dwarves..The Misty Mountains one was much better in terms of giving that deep strong dwarves vibes

  4. P.... ....

    Please do the Clamavi De Profundis version!!

  5. R.... B....

    Dude! Your harmonies are fire! All your covers are magickal.

  6. A.... R....

    I couldn't think of a better person to sing these songs and bring them to life. It is a great honor to know that someone is willing to bring these songs to life. Thank you so much Peter Hollens, you have helped me to gain a new and higher respect for these iconic songs.

  7. P.... K....

    Please do THE HAMMER FALLS SONG.!!!

  8. r.... e....

    For Some Reason This Song Is So Catchy No Matter Who Sings It. Even If I Just​Read It Regularly It's Catchy.

  9. J.... D....

    I prefer the Profundis version because the melody of this is harder to remember.

  10. J.... M....

    You know, I have been a fan of Peter Hollens for years now. But I gotta say, Clamavi de Profundis's version is better.

  11. E.... B....

    I sing along with my chiken voice

  12. S.... G....

    Lovely but would have loved it without the backing vocalisations if I'm honest :)

  13. M.... N....

    I forgot how beautiful this song is, thanks for reminding us ❤️

  16. K.... K....

    What ever happened to this idea??

  17. B.... B....

    Does anyone know the sheet music for this

  18. L.... ....

    you are supposed to be singing about Durin, not about pederast shlt like conchita wurst

  19. D.... W....

    PLaying both versions from him and Eurielle together is... haunting..

  20. J.... V....

    This video. It is like Celeborn whan met Gimli singed this song. But in Elf way.
    Dwarwen song must be singing in Dwarwen way not Elfisch.
    This is great version, but i think so Peter Hollens should singing this song better, if he want.

  21. S.... ....

    Lovely.
    I'd love to hear you or Eurielle (or a duet!) sing the full version!

  22. K.... G....

    He kinda looks like an elf

  23. K.... G....

    Lord of the rings was never my favorite but the music is good

  24. K.... G....

    You should be in the Tolkien sountrack

  25. M.... S....

  29. M.... M....

    This song requires a deeper voice.

    M.... M....

    Clamavi De Profundis did it way better

    M.... M....

    @Foogi, Lord of Kitsunes A way beyond this world better :))

    M.... M....

  30. F.... ....

    Listening every time...like a magic coming alive...all this light sorrow and crystal voice...

  32. N.... C....

    A king he was on carven throne
    In many-pillared halls of stone
    With golden roof and silver floor,
    And runes of power upon the door.
    The light of sun and star and moon
    In shining lamps of crystal hewn
    Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
    There shone for ever fair and bright.

    The world is grey, the mountains old,
    The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
    No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
    The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;
    The shadow lies upon his tomb
    In Moria, in Khazad-dûm.
    But still the sunken stars appear
    In dark and windless Mirrormere;
    There lies his crown in water deep,
    Till Durin wakes again from sleep

  33. C.... I....

    I know this is a late come to this video .... I have a request for if you guys still wanna collab ! And if that is still ok to submit requests ..

  34. M.... R....

  35. M.... F....

    I absolutely love this song, and I love the way you've sung it. Is there any way i could get a simple chord progression (Not guitar tabs) for the background accompaniment so that I could sing it myself while playing on piano?

  36. N.... T....

    Honestly, I prefer the rich, melodic deep voices. In saying that, I still think this is fantastic!!!!

  37. R.... I....

    Great cover. Thanks to you I found Eurielle’s channel.

    OMG my heart... I'm crying... Awesome....

  39. O.... S....

  42. T.... C....

    DURIN: :"Not my octave."

  43. f.... ....

    Have you done the Lament for Gandalf from Fellowship of the Ring?

  65. R.... ....

    Your range is goals

  66. M.... R....

    I don't know what to say....you have a good voice but I listen to three of your songs and I'm just wondering do you do like any songs or is there a some you can't or won't do?

  67. T.... L....

    I want to hear you singing ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I find it so frustrating that EVERY song has a chorus of singers. I don't understand why you don't sing solo...???

  68. J.... W....

    Wow, just Wow! I was in my church choir years ago as an alto, no way could I hit the notes u do lol not only is ur version of this song beautiful, but that scenery ur in is gorgeous!

  69. D.... ....

    I prefer the Clamavi de Profundis version, but this is good, too!

  70. O.... Z....

    sorry but you voice is to high for that legendary song

  71. C.... S....

    Peter, you have got an amazing and versatile voice I’m only sorry I didn’t know of you before now. My 20 year old son shared your talent with me and I’m so glad he did

  72. A.... D....

    Hey Peter,could you make a version of this song using only human voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFNRh26TPmM would be awesome!!!

  73. S.... K....

    Peter Hollens covering EURIELLE. My life is complete.

  74. R.... F....

    Of course you pulled it off Peter. 🌷

  75. R.... ....

    Yeah.. You killed it.

  76. A.... B....

    This takes me to a heaven <3 <3 <3 :O |).
    I always rewind AT LEAST twice.

  77. B.... H....

    I started with the original Greyhawk pamphlets, and I wish I had your music then. Am I showing my age here?

  78. B.... H....

    May he sit in the hall of the Great Spirit forevermore.

  79. M.... L....

    You are very talented

  80. J.... F....

    Wow... J.R.R. Tolkien sure knows how to write songs.

  81. I.... M....

    Do the full version

  82. N.... A....

    I actually reached out to the original artist of this song. 02:44

    So...you picked up a ouija board and performed a seance to commune with J.R.R. Tolkien’s ghost. That must have been a fun night.

  83. J.... L....

    Better Clamavi des Profundis's editon of Durin's song.

    J.... L....

    Nah. Their version is definitely more Tolkien-like. It actually sounds like Dwarves are singing it.

    J.... L....

    T C That's why it's better, but still both version are amazing!!

  84. V.... W....

    Would you mind letting me know where you obtained the instrumental for this? I would greatly appreciate it.

  85. C.... O....

    OMG THAT FALSETTO PETTER!!!!!!!! I never knew you could go that high!!!! 9What are you? Soprano? I find it unlikely you are an Alto...)

  86. J.... P....

    Meilleure reprise que j'ai jamais entendu c'est absolument magnifique.
    The best cover i've ever heard it's really wonderful

  87. E.... S....

    Dude, you need to sing Scarborough Fair... You do Middle Earth Justice.

    E.... S....

    Peter already has! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPIefnvgEic

  88. Z.... N....

    Peter, could you do the Lament for Boromir from the Fellowship of the Ring? Because that would be so awesome

  89. V.... V....

    Could you do the song from into the woods together- mothers not around?

  90. D.... P....

    I love your work Pete but this song doesn't suit your style. This is a deep voiced dwarven song. But as I said love ya work

  91. L.... P....

    Where do you film your videos? The scenery is beautiful, very fitting. This is amazing, it's like a punch to the gut, but in a good way.

  92. D.... B....

    Can I just say that, as someone who hears with a Cochlear Implant, I LOVE love love that you have captions on your songs?! So many times I miss lyrics because I don't know the words.. not yours! :)

  93. S.... ....

    A king he was on carven throne
    In many-pillared halls of stone
    With golden roof and silver floor,
    And runes of power upon the door.
    The light of sun and star and moon
    In shining lamps of crystal hewn
    Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
    There shone for ever fair and bright.

    The world is grey, the mountains old,
    The forge's fire is ashen-cold;
    No harp is wrung, no hammer falls:
    The darkness dwells in Durin's halls;

    There lies his crown in water deep,
    Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

  94. S.... K....

    This is simply amazing!

  95. S.... ....

    Listening to this from autoplay - this is one of your best works Peter. The dynamics, lifts, trails off, and of course the phrasing of the words. Gorgeous.

  96. K.... B....

    You should do Tom bombadill's songs from the fellowship of the ring!

  97. m.... ....

    City of the Dead!!!!!!!!!! +Peter Hollins

  98. C.... M....

    That was beautiful!

  99. C.... G....
