Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep
And caverns old
We must away
Ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold
[Verse 2]
The dwarves of yore
Made mighty spells
While hammers fell
Like ringing bells
In places deep
Where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells
[Verse 3]
For ancient king
And elvish lord
Their many a gleaming
Golden hoard
They shaped and wrought
And light they caught
To hide the gems on hilt of sword
[Verse 4]
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars
On crowns they hung
The dragon fire
In twisted wire
They meshed the light
Of moon and sun
[Verse 5]
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep
And caverns old
We must away
Ere break of day
To find our long forgotten gold
[Verse 6]
Goblets they carved
There for themselves
And harps of gold
Where no man delves
There lay they long
And many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves
[Verse 7]
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 8]
The bells were ringing
In the dale
And men looked up
With faces pale
The dragon's ire
More fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail
[Verse 9]
The mountain smoked
Beneath the moon
The dwarves they heard
The tramp of doom
They fled their hall
To dying fall
Beneath his feet
Beneath the moon
[Verse 10]
Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep
And caverns dim
We must away
Ere break of day
To win our harps and gold from him
[Verse 11]
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep
And caverns old
