Oh, misty eye of the mountain below,
Keep careful watch of my brother’s souls.
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke,
Bb5
Keep watching over Durin’s sons.

Oh, should my people fall then
Surely I’ll do the same,
Confined in mountain halls,
We got too close to the flame.
Calling out for the rope,
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side.
Desolation comes upon the sky.
Chorus:
Now I see fire
Inside the mountain,
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.

I will cover my eyes,

For if the dark returns
DbAb
Then my brothers will die.

And as the sky is falling down
DbAb
It crashed into this lonely town
Ebm7
And with that shadow upon the ground,
Db/FGbmajAb
I hear my people screaming out.
