Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons
 
If this is to end in fire
Then we shall all burn together
Calling out father, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Watch the flames climb high into the night
 
And if we should die tonight
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
 
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me
And I see fire, hollowing souls
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
 
Desolation comes upon the sky
We got too close to the flame
Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Calling out father hold fast and we will
Confined in mountain halls
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
 
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I hope that you'll remember me
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I see fire, hollowing souls
 
And with that shadow upon the ground
I will cover my eyes
I hear my people screaming out
My brothers will die
And as the sky's falling down
And if the night is burning
It crashed into this lonely town
For if the dark returns then
 
I see fire, blood in the breeze
Now I see fire, inside the mountains
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
 
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
