Oh, misty eye of the mountain below

Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls

Keep watching over Durin's son

If this is to end in fire

Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

Now I see fire, inside the mountain

And I see fire, hollowing souls

Am Em
And if the night is burning
G D
I will cover my eyes
Am Em
For if the dark returns then
G D
My brothers will die
Am Em
And as the sky's falling down
G D
It crashed into this lonely town
Am7
And with that shadow upon the ground
G/B C D
I hear my people screaming out
[Chorus]
Em C D Em
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
Em C D Em
I see fire, burning the trees
Em C D Em
And I see fire, hollowing souls
Em C D Em
I see fire, blood in the breeze
Em C D Em
I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
Em C D Em
I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
Em C D Em
And I see fire, oooooo (fire)
Em C D Em
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
