Lyrics
As performed in the official recording.
Brothers gather near
And grab a pint of beer
And reminisce 'bout that and this
We've done over the years
(Quests!) They've been completed
(Foes!) They've been defeated
Even when faced with hopeless odds
We've not retreated
Ten years together we have roamed
So let's give three cheers to living on the road
But our skin's made of iron, still there's steel in our bones
Come on brothers, follow me, the dwarves are coming home
{Chorus}
We're coming home to dig another hole
Back to the mountain, the earth, and the stone
Coming home to diamonds and to gold
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
We feel alive here down in the mine
With a pickaxe and our brothers by our side
It's been so long but now it's time to go
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
We're coming home
We said we'd never return
When we left the mine
We'd grown so sick of swinging the pick
And longed for a new life
But now we've travelled the land
Lending an axe or a helping hand
Drunk so much we couldn't stand
Feels like a sign
That the quest is over, the adventure is done
And the mem'ry of the mountain shines brighter than the sun
And our hearts beat like a steel metronome
I am a dwarf and I'm going back home
{Chorus}
We're digging a hole
(Hole, diggy diggy hole) [repeat 8x]
{Chorus}
We're coming home
(I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole)
We're coming home
(Diggy diggy hole, diggy hole)
We're coming home
(I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole)
We're coming home
(Diggy diggy hole, diggy hole)
We're digging a hole, hole, diggy diggy hole
