Neil Finn
Song of the Lonely Mountain - Extended Version
[Verse 1]
Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the height
What was before we see once more
Is our kingdom, a distant light
[Verse 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
[Chorus]
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long-forgotten gold
[Verse 3]
We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold
[Verse 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
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We must awake ere break of day
To find our song for heart and soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
[Chorus]
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long-forgotten gold
[Outro]
Far away the Misty Mountains cold
