lyrics

He was a kind and wise ruler
With a heart that was made of gold
He wore a grey curly beard down to his belly
Blessed with the power of magic
The king of the dwarfs

Once upon a time, a woodmans son and his fellows
Were roaming through the forest
While climbing up the dwarfs king stones
He wanted to show his courage
Without listening to his friends warnings

He was a kind and wise ruler
With a heart that was made of gold
He wore a grey curly beard down to his belly
Blessed with the power of magic
The king of the dwarfs

It was bound to happen
The king was incensed
Noone ever was allowed to set foot on his rocks
So the woodmans son was banished
At the top of the stone forever
The fellows brought word to the widowed father
Words that broke his heart

He was a kind and wise ruler
With a heart that was made of gold
He wore a grey curly beard down to his belly
Blessed with the power of magic
The king of the dwarfs

The only thing he could do
Was to take the sons life
So the forester set out for his son
And wished he died with his wife
He met a little man and cried on his shoulder
The little man was noone else than the kindhearted dwarf king
Who felt sorry for him

The only way to free his son
Was shooting him with his gun
But the dwarfs gathered in the same place to protect the lost boy
So they pelted the forester with pine cones by themselves
They built a ladder to pave the way for the king
With an august eye and in a large voice
He gave him the last chance to safe his life
If he had regrets about what he did
And the lad did

Ever after the woodmans son promised
That no human being will ever touch the stones anymore

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train

supported by 17 fans who also own “09 The Dwarfs King”

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

Grand Tour
by Big Big Train

supported by 17 fans who also own “09 The Dwarfs King”

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips

Foreign Land
by The Far Meadow

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
