We Must Away
Dwarf: A lonely mountain beneath the moon
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom
The Dragon came, the Dragon took
He sleeps in their gold, but he’ll wake up soon
Dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell, like ringing bells
In dungeons deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
Goblets they carved for themselves.
Harps of gold; where no man delves
The Arkenstone and many a song.
Unseen, unheard by men or elves
Far over the misty mountains cold
Dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, yeah we must away
To seek the pale, enchanted gold
Far over the misty mountains cold
Spiderwebs, trolls and orcs
We must away, yeah we must away
To claim our long-forgotten gold
Pines are roaring on the height
Winds are moaning in the night
Dragon's ire, more fierce than fire
We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!
Pines are roaring on the height
Winds are moaning in the night
Dragon's ire, more fierce than fire
We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!
