Oh, misty eye of the mountain below,
Keep careful watch of my brother’s souls.
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke,
Bb5
Keep watching over Durin’s sons.

Now I see fire

I see fire

Blood in the breeze.
And I hope that you remember me.

Oh, should my people fall then
Surely I’ll do the same,
Confined in mountain halls,
We got too close to the flame.
Calling out for the rope,
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side.
Desolation comes upon the sky.
Chorus:
Now I see fire
Inside the mountain,
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls,
I see fire,
Blood in the breeze.
And I hope that you remember me.

And if the night is burning,
Db Ab
I will cover my eyes,
Ebm7 Bbm
For if the dark returns
Db Ab
Then my brothers will die.
Ebm7 Bbm
And as the sky is falling down
Db Ab
It crashed into this lonely town
Ebm7
And with that shadow upon the ground,
Db/F Gbmaj Ab
I hear my people screaming out.

And I see fire

Inside the mountain,

I see fire,
Ab Bbm
Blood in the breeze.

Burn auburn on

The mountain side.
