HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING: music Edvard Grieg – words & arrangement: Douglas Coombes Unison 1. Living in a mountainside, Mountainside, mountainside, Living in a mountainside, There is a gruesome King. Living in a mountainside, Mountainside, mountainside, Living in a mountainside, A monstrous, ugly thing. He sits on a throne of skulls, Throne of skulls, throne of skulls, He sits on a throne of skulls, Full of black spite. He sits on a throne of skulls, throne of skulls, He sits on a throne of skulls, Ruler of night. On his face are warts and scars, Warts & scars, warts & scars, On his face are warts and scars, A boil grows ev’ry day. On his face are warts and scars, Warts and scars, warts and scars, In his face are warts and scars, A mess in disarray.

2. (gradually getting faster throughout this verse) In the mountain there’s a hall, There’s a hall, there’s a hall, In the mountain there’s a hall Where reigns this evil King. In the mountain there’s a hall, There’s a hall, there’s a hall, In the mountain there’s a hall Where Goblins have their fling. Whirling round with evil scowls, Evil scowls, evil scowls, Whirling round with evil scowls, Goblins hiss ‘Lord’. Whirling round with evil scowls, Evil scowls, evil scowls, Whirling round with evil scowls, Terror crazed horde. Mountain King beats out the time, Out the time, out the time, Mountain King beats out the time And no-one disobeys. Mountain King beats out the time, Out the time, out the time, Mountain King beats out the time, As Goblins snarl his praise.
