Ed Sheeran – I See Fire Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls ¹
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin’s sons ²

[Verse 1]
If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb higher, into the night ³
Calling out father oh, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side ⁴

[Verse 2]
And if we should die tonight, we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time ⁵
Calling out father oh, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountainside
Desolation comes upon the sky ⁶

[Chorus]
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you’ll remember me ⁷

[Verse 3]
Oh should my people fall then surely I’ll do the same
Confined in mountain holes we got too close to the flame ⁸
Calling out father oh, hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And if the night is burning, I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns then my brothers will die ⁹
And as the sky’s falling down it crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out ¹⁰

[Outro]
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning)
I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin)
I see fire
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountainside
