Oh, misty eye of the mountain below

Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls

And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke

Keep watching over Durin's sons



If this is to end in fire

Then we should all burn together

Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling our father

Stand by and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side



And if we should die tonight

We should all die together

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father

Prepare as we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side



Desolation comes upon the sky



Now I see fire

Inside the mountains

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me



Oh, should my people fall in

Surely I'll do the same

Come finding mountain holes

We got too close to the flame

Calling out father

Hold fast and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side



Desolation comes upon the sky



Now I see fire

Inside the mountains

I see fire

Burning the trees

And I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze

And I hope that you remember me



And if the night is burning

I will cover my eyes

For if the dark returns then

My brothers will die

And as the sky's falling down

It crashed into this lonely town

And with that shadow upon the ground

I hear my people screaming out



And I see fire

Inside the mountains

I see fire

Burning the trees

I see fire

Hollowing souls

I see fire

Blood in the breeze



I see fire

Oh, you know I saw a city burning out (fire)

And I see fire

Feel the heat upon my skin (fire)

And I see fire

Uhhhhhhhhh (fire)

And I see fire

Burn auburn on the mountain side
