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