This song (ending theme for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey always moves me. Thinking of the dwarves reclaiming the Lonely Mountain after being away for years and Thorin's death at the Battle of Five Armies near the end of the book... so sad. Plus the lyrics are beautiful. SONG OF THE LONELY MOUNTAIN (Neil Finn) 1. Far over the Misty Mountains rise, Leave us standing upon the height, What was before, we see once more, Our kingdom, a distant light. 2. Fiery mountain, beneath the moon, The words unspoken, we'll be there soon. For home a song that echoes on, And all who find us will know the tune. (Chorus. Instrumental with an anvil as accompaniment) (aye-aye-aye-aye) Some folk we never forget, (aye-aye-aye-aye) Some kind we never forgive, (aye-aye-aye-aye) Haven't seen the back of us yet, (aye-aye-aye-aye) We'll fight as long as we live, (aye-aye-aye-aye) All eyes on the hidden door, (aye-aye-aye-aye) To the Lonely Mountain borne, (aye-aye-aye-aye) We'll ride in the gathering storm, Till we get our long-forgotten gold. 3. We lay under the Misty Mountains cold, In slumbers deep and dreams of gold, We must awake, our lives to make, In the darkness a torch we hold. (Instrumental) 4. From long ago, when lanterns burned, Until this day, our hearts have yearned, Her fate unknown, the Arkenstone, What was stolen must be returned. (Instrumental) Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh We must away, ere break of day To find our song for heart and soul. (Chorus) (aye-aye-aye-aye) Some folk we never forget, (aye-aye-aye-aye) Some kind we never forgive, (aye-aye-aye-aye) Haven't seen the end of us yet, (aye-aye-aye-aye) We'll fight as long as we live, (aye-aye-aye-aye) All eyes on the hidden door, (aye-aye-aye-aye) To the Lonely Mountain borne, (aye-aye-aye-aye) We'll ride in the gathering storm, Till we get our long-forgotten gold Far away from Misty Mountains cold...
