Far over the misty mountains cold

[Verse 1 - Raw rap verse, acoustic blues guitar + tight kick/snare, intimate & storytelling] Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep where the old tales are told We must away ere the break of day Chasing the fire that the ancients betrayed Hammers once rang like thunder in stone Now silence hangs where the mighty have gone Gold in the dark, curses carved in the bone Whispers of dragons that claim it their own [Pre-Chorus - Building tension, slow blues slide guitar] The wind moans low through the withered heath Shadows creep where the forest won’t breathe Ancient kings sleep in their halls of grief Waiting for footsteps that bring back belief [Chorus - Emotional powerful baritone male vocals, cinematic swell with acoustic + subtle strings feel, full but warm] Far over the misty mountains grim To caverns old where the lost treasures dim We ride through the storm, we carry the sin For the pale enchanted gold within Oh the wonder, the fire, the call in the wind Far over the mountains… we must away again [Verse 2 - Rap-rock burst, heavier distorted guitars enter, aggressive but controlled flow] They strung the stars on silver chains Caught dragon-fire in twisted veins Carved goblets deep for the feasts of old While harps of gold played songs untold Now the pines are roaring, the night is alive The mountain smokes where the worms still thrive One wrong step and the darkness awakes But the blood of the dwarves still burns for the take [Pre-Chorus - Same as before, slightly louder] The wind moans low through the withered heath Shadows creep where the forest won’t breathe Ancient kings sleep in their halls of grief Waiting for footsteps that bring back belief [Chorus - Bigger, more emotional baritone] Far over the misty mountains grim To caverns old where the lost treasures dim We ride through the storm, we carry the sin For the pale enchanted gold within Oh the wonder, the fire, the call in the wind Far over the mountains… we must away again [Bridge - Quiet cinematic drop, almost spoken bluesy rap over minimal acoustic] Under the mountain dark and tall The king returns to his empty hall The worm is slain but the scars remain And the road goes ever on through the rain… [Final Chorus - Full dynamic lift, emotional baritone with raw blues-rock backing, no screaming] Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To claim our long-forgotten gold Oh the wonder, the fire, the blood we’ve spilt Far over the mountains… it’s the call that we built [Outro - Slow fade with acoustic guitar + distant distorted riff, intimate blues feel] We must away… Far over the misty mountains… We must away…
