Lyrics
Deep beneath the mountain
In the days of long ago
Heroes three did brave the lonely dark
A minstrel and a warrior and
A servant of the gods
Did join in quest
To find the mountain’s heart
A treasure said to hold the pow’r
To grant a man’s desires
Glittered in the mountain’s
Stony breast
Sorcerers and kings had sought
The secret of its fire
But none of them had ever
Passed the test
Seek ye low or seek ye high
You’ll never find the heart
The gods have hidden it away
From mortal hands of men
Many souls have entered here
To seek it in the dark
But only one will see the light again
Only one will see the light again
The priest there sought the answers
To the questions in his soul
A soothing balm
To ease his troubled sleep
He found his path to heaven
At the bottom of a hole
And now his bones lie
Peaceful in the deep
Seek ye low or seek ye high
You’ll never find the heart
The gods have hidden it away
From mortal hands of men
Many souls have entered here
To seek it in the dark
But only one will see the light again
Only one will see the light again
The warrior meant to carve his name
Into the stones of time
And though he should have run
He chose to stay
The eyeless things that buried him
Neath mountains of their dead
Will sing his name until
The end of days
Seek ye low or seek ye high
You’ll never find the heart
The gods have hidden it away
From mortal hands of men
Many souls have entered here
To seek it in the dark
But only one will see the light again
Only one will see the light again
A lost and lonely minstrel
Sat a cryin’ in the dark
A woman’s voice did whisper
In his ear
“Oh, why is it a boy like you
Would seek the mountain’s heart?
Now speak the truth, for this
I have to hear “
“I have no love of glory”
Did the minstrel answer back
“And I care not if the gods
Recall my name
To learn a song no man has
Heard and lay it on the strings
This alone can be a singer’s fame”
And so it was a minstrel boy
Did steal the mountain’s heart
As two souls lay together
In the shadows of the deep
And though he may have
Won his song
And lived to see the light
Somewhere in the the dark
His heart she keeps
Oh, somewhere in the dark
His heart she keeps
