Far away
In a land caught between time and space
Where the books of life lay
Within this castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleep safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah

I say to one, no...

Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the mountain king calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge here
But I was forever on the run

Madness reigns, my friends...
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh yeah
In the hall of the mountain king
Oh Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
