[Verse 1:]
How does the empty echo strike you?
How does the void speak to your soul?
How does the vast expanse delight you?
How will you make it whole?

[Chorus 1:]
Build, with law and order!
Build, with earth and mortar!
Build, a stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!
Build, with law and order!
Build, with earth and mortar!
Build, a stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!

[Verse 2:]
There is redemption for the fallen
Fire and blows can make things new
There is deception in the small, and
There is a place for you!

[Chorus 2:]
Build, with law and order!
Build, with earth and mortar!
Build, a stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!
Build, with law and order!
Build, a people strong and skilled!
A brotherhood, a guild!
Build, a stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!
[Verse 3:]
So take up the hammer
The kingdom shall grow
Iron citadel, deep down below
So take up the calling
The kingdom shall rise!
Hammerdeep surging up beneath the skies!

[Verse 4:]
Enemies come and stones may crumble!
Chaos is born of death and fright!
Strengthen your brethren; raise the humble!
Kingdoms are born of light!

[Chorus 3:]
Build, with law and order!
Build, with earth and mortar!
Build, a stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!
Build, a way of life instilled
In minds and hearts fulfilled!
A stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!

Build, with law and order!
Build, with earth and mortar!
Build, a stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!
Build, a people strong and skilled!
A brotherhood, a guild!
A stone, upon a stone, upon a stone!
