  • Far over the Misty Mountains rise
    Leave us standing upon the heights
    What was before, we see once more
    Is our kingdom a distant light

    Fiery mountain beneath the moon
    The words unspoken, we'll be there soon
    For home a song that echoes on
    And all who find us will know the tune

    Some folk we never forget
    Some kind we never forgive
    Haven't seen the back of us yet
    We'll fight as long as we live
    All eyes on the hidden door
    To the Lonely Mountain borne
    We'll ride in the gathering storm
    Until we get our long-forgotten gold

    We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
    In slumbers deep and dreams of gold
    We must awake, our lives to make
    And in the darkness a torch we hold

    From long ago when lanterns burned
    Till this day our hearts have yearned
    Her fate unknown the Arkenstone
    What was stolen must be returned

    We must awake and make the day
    To find a song for heart and soul

    Some folk we never forget
    Some kind we never forgive
    Haven't seen the end of it yet
    We'll fight as long as we live
    All eyes on the hidden door
    To the Lonely Mountain borne
    We'll ride in the gathering storm
    Until we get our long-forgotten gold
    Far away from Misty Mountains cold Writer/s: DAVID DONALDSON, DAVID LONG, JANET RODDICK, NEIL FINN, STEVE ROCHE
