Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold - Dwarrowdelf.mp3

[00:51.420]Far over the misty mountains cold
[00:57.630]To dungeons deep and caverns old
[01:03.540]We must away ere break of day
[01:09.570]To seek the pale enchanted gold.
[01:16.090]
[01:16.170]The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
[01:21.810]While hammers fell like ringing bells
[01:27.830]In places deep, where dark things sleep,
[01:34.180]In hollow halls beneath the fells.
[01:40.330]
[01:40.450]For ancient king and elvish lord
[01:46.310]There many a gleaming golden hoard
[01:52.340]They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
[01:58.730]To hide in gems on hilt of sword.
[02:04.820]
[02:04.950]On silver necklaces they strung
[02:10.760]The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
[02:16.850]The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
[02:23.120]They meshed the light of moon and sun.
[02:29.710]
[02:33.850]Far over the misty mountains cold
[02:36.770]To dungeons deep and caverns old
[02:39.820]We must away, ere break of day,
[02:42.680]To claim our long-forgotten gold.
[02:45.850]
[02:46.040]Goblets they carved there for themselves
[02:49.030]And harps of gold; where no man delves
[02:52.130]There lay they long, and many a song
[02:54.870]Was sung unheard by men or elves.
[03:00.350]
[03:00.470]The pines were roaring on the height,
[03:06.750]The winds were moaning in the night.
[03:12.620]The fire was red, it flaming spread;
[03:18.680]The trees like torches blazed with light.
[03:24.810]
[03:25.000]The bells were ringing in the dale
[03:31.040]And men they looked up with faces pale;
[03:37.000]The dragon's ire more fierce than fire
[03:43.270]Laid low their towers and houses frail.
[03:49.670]
[03:49.860]The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
[03:55.510]The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom.
[04:01.360]They fled their hall to dying fall
[04:07.570]Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.
[04:14.220]
[04:14.470]Far over the misty mountains grim
[04:19.950]To dungeons deep and caverns dim
[04:25.910]We must away, ere break of day,
[04:32.070]To win our harps and gold from him!
[04:39.540]
[04:39.720]The wind was on the withered heath,
[04:42.470]but in the forest stirred no leaf:
[04:45.390]there shadows lay be night or day,
[04:48.440]and dark things silent crept beneath.
[04:51.490]
[04:51.680]The wind came down from mountains cold,
[04:54.660]and like a tide it roared and rolled;
[04:57.640]the branches groaned, the forest moaned,
[05:00.630]and leaves were laid upon the mould.
[05:04.170]
[06:05.270]The wind went on from West to East;
[06:10.860]all movement in the forest ceased,
[06:17.200]but shrill and harsh across the marsh
[06:23.430]its whistling voices were released.
[06:29.580]
[06:29.770]The grasses hissed, their tassels bent,
[06:35.600]the reeds were rattling--on it went
[06:41.680]o'er shaken pool under heavens cool
[06:47.900]where racing clouds were torn and rent.
[06:54.110]
[06:54.300]It passed the Lonely Mountain bare
[07:00.000]and swept above the dragon's lair:
[07:06.150]there black and dark lay boulders stark
[07:12.640]and flying smoke was in the air.
[07:18.680]
[07:18.930]It left the world and took its flight
[07:24.770]over the wide seas of the night.
[07:30.940]The moon set sail upon the gale,
[07:36.970]and stars were fanned to leaping light.
[07:43.500]
[07:43.690]Under the Mountain dark and tall
[07:49.530]The King has come unto his hall!
[07:55.690]His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread,
[08:01.530]And ever so his foes shall fall.
[08:07.980]
[08:08.170]The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
[08:13.820]The arrow swift, the Gate is strong;
[08:19.970]The heart is bold that looks on gold;
[08:25.950]The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong
