[Verse 1]
Clenched teeth, no words
All this distance taking its toll
Speaking volumes, silence screaming over your words
[Pre-Chorus]
I never did you right, I know that
Too many sleepless nights, I own that
I said …
[Verse 1]
I’m scared I’m wasting my time
Scared I’m losing control of my life
I’m scared of commitment of calling anything mine
I would be lying if I told you, “I’m fine”
Serving these …

[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
The misty eye is the stone referred to as the Arkenstone, which the dwarves believe will unite their community, a community torn asunder by Smaug, a fire drake from the north. It is this stone that they ask to keep an eye on the souls of their brothers. The stone was dug from beneath the lonely mountain, home to Erebor and was also called the heart of the mountain.
The dwarfs’ expected war with the dragon, Smaug, who had taken over their home. The dragon in its last onslaught had visited fire and terror to the dwarves; dragons are known to guard their treasure jealously and will consume anyone foolish enough to dare take the treasure, with fire. It is this fire that the dwarves are asking for protection against, Durin’s son being a term used to describe all dwarves in Middle Earth but more specifically the line of Durin, who were considered the eldest and the greatest of all the seven clans of dwarves.
This is the journey in which Thorin Oakenshield leads his band of dwarves accompanied by Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit and Gandalf the Grey, a wizard of the same time, to reclaim their homeland as foretold. They expect to fight Smaug and are content to die trying even if its death by fire.
The Dwarves call to their ancestors to bless their mission and they will not fail in courage as long as they have their blessings. It is a task that they undertook in autumn and together with the fire from Smaug, the mountain will take on an auburn colour.
This mission is dangerous and they toast for the last time just in case they do not survive Smaug’s fire.
They keep calling for blessings as they face the terror that is Smaug. The second installation of the Hobbit is titled, ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
This starts once Smaug the dragon realizes that his treasure is under threat and he starts raining fire everywhere in a bid to destroy his attackers and in the fight blood flows. The dwarves also ask to be remembered should they not make it out alive.
Thorin asks for courage because he is thought to be the one that was prophesied about and he believes that if his dwarves are consumed by the fire of Smaug, within the mountain then he too will not survive. The mountain holes come about in their entrance to the mountain through a side entrance.
Thorin is afraid of failing his people and he will hide in shame if he is unsuccessful in his quest. The darkness in the Hobbit was first associated with Erebor when the king, Thror, continued to lust after gold, which drew the attention of Smaug.
Smaug is credited with destroying Dale and it allowed Bard, a descendent of Lord Dale who was against disturbing the dragon, to share in some of the treasure that was recovered from Smaug. Dale was one of the cities of men and it got destroyed when Smaug was destroying Erebor. The second town which Smaug destroyed is Laketown also known as Esgaroth, which is close to the Lonely mountain where the dwarves were headed, it was a town made of wood. These lines are therefore describing the second destruction of the town by the dragon, when he flies above the town.
