One mug filled with mead til the morning
Too much for an elf
Two more mugs full of mead til the morning
Add more from the shelf
There's three mugs filled with mead til the morning
Long since I was born
Four more mugs full of mead til the morning
Worthy of a dwarf
Nobody is welcome
In a tavern full of drunken dwarves
No respect for humans
Dragons, trolls, or pointy ears!
If you want to die, stay as long as you're alive
We'll bring chaos to the tavern
Til the dawn has come
Nobody is welcome
In a tavern full of drunken dwarves
No respect for humans
Dragons, trolls, and pointy ears!
If you want to run, do it faster than my axe
Don't you dare mess with a hall
Full of drunken dwarves!
May you hear us sing along, from the forest
To the tavern's hall, until we fall
Alchemy and magic forge the night
Into a hearth of stone
In the tavern's hall, until we fall
With five mugs full of mead til the morning
Someone starts to crawl
Six more mugs full of mead til the morning
Everybody falls
Seven mugs full of mead til the morning
Right or even wrong
With eight more mugs of mead til the morning
We will start the brawl!
May you hear us sing along, from the forest
To the tavern's hall, until we fall
Our blood is boiling fast
Like mead poured on the table
In the tavern's hall, until we fall
Nobody is welcome
In a tavern full of drunken dwarves
No respect for humans
Dragons, trolls, or pointy ears!
If you want to die, stay as long as you're alive
We'll bring chaos to the tavern
Til the dawn has come
Nobody is welcome
In a tavern full of drunken dwarves
No respect for humans
Dragons, trolls, and pointy ears!
If you want to run, do it faster than my axe
Don't you dare mess with a hall
Full of drunken dwarves!

Группа, которая в своё время перевернула моё представление о пауэр-метал. В принципе, после этого альбома я наконец понял, что такое американский пауэр.
