Song of the Lonely Mountain Songtext
von Peter Hollens

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 unspoken, we′ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune
Yah yah yah yah

Some folk we never forget yah yah yah yah
Some kind we never forgive yah yah yah yah
Haven't seen the back of us yet yah yah yah yah
We will fight as long as we live yah yah yah yah

All eyes on the hidden door yah yah yah yah
To the Lonely Mountain born yah yah yah yah
We′ll ride in the gathering storm yah yah yah yah
Until we get our long forgotten gold yah yah yah yah


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
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
Yah yah yah yah

Some folk we never forget yah yah yah yah
Some kind we never forgive yah yah yah yah
Haven't seen the end of it yet yah yah yah yah
We will fight as long as we live yah yah yah yah

All eyes on the hidden door yah yah yah yah
To the Lonely Mountain born yah yah yah yah
We'll ride in the gathering storm yah yah yah yah
Until we get our long forgotten gold yah yah yah yah

Far away from Misty Mountain′s cold
