Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must awake, ere break of day
To find our long forgotten gold
[Verse 2]
The pines were roaring on the height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light
[Verse 3]
The wind was on the withered heath
But in the forest stirred no leaf
There shadows lay be night or day
And dark things silent crept beneath
[Verse 4]
The wind went on from West to East
All movement in the forest ceased
But shrill and harsh across the marsh
Its whistling voices were released
[Verse 5]
Farewell we call to hearth and hall
Though wind may blow and rain may fall
We must awake ere break of day
Far o'er the wood and mountain tall
