Far over the Misty Mountains rise

Far over the Misty Mountains rise 

 Leave us standing upon the height 

 What was before, we see once more

 Is our kingdom, a distant light 

 Fiery mountain beneath the moon

 The words aren't spoken, 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 lies on the hidden door 

To the Lonely Mountain bourne 

 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 

 Until this day our hearts have yearned

 A fate unknown; the Arkenstone 

 What was stolen must be returned 

 We must awake, and make the day

 To find our 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 lies on the hidden door 

To the Lonely Mountain bourne

 We'll ride in the gathering storm

 Till we get our long forgotten gold 

 Far away the Misty Mountains cold.

Song of the Lonely Mountain

Because The Hobbit is coming. And you know, I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.
