[Verse 1] Beyond the blackened mountain, where the winter ravens fly, A crown of old oak gathers beneath a weathered sky. He carries no bright banner, just a promise forged in flame, And every road grows louder when the tavern speaks his name. [Pre-Chorus] Raise the cup and bar the door, We have trembled long enough; Hear the boots upon the floor— The mountain king is coming back! [Chorus] Thorin Oakenshield, come across the stone, Take the dragon’s treasure, claim what is your own! Fear shall lose its teeth tonight, sorrow shall depart, Lake-town, lift your lanterns high—there’s courage in your heart! [Verse 2] The dragon keeps the golden halls, the bells have ceased to ring, But ash cannot bury every song the old folk sing. The fishermen remember fields beneath the water’s gleam, And children draw a rising sun beside the broken quay. [Pre-Chorus] Raise the cup and bar the door, Let the old bells find their tongue; When the oak returns once more, Every weary heart grows young! [Chorus] Thorin Oakenshield, come across the stone, Take the dragon’s treasure, claim what is your own! Fear shall lose its teeth tonight, sorrow shall depart, Lake-town, lift your lanterns high—there’s courage in your heart! [Bridge] If the mountain shakes, let it shake, If the red wings darken the dawn, We will stand beside the lake Till the final fear is gone. Not for gold alone we cheer, Not for crowns or halls restored— We are calling back the year When our home shall bloom once more! [Final Chorus] Thorin Oakenshield, come across the stone, Take the dragon’s treasure, claim what is your own! Fear has lost its teeth tonight, the long dark days depart, Lake-town, lift your lanterns high—there’s courage in your heart! [Outro] Pour the ale and strike the board, Sing until the night is bright; Oak and lake and mountain roar— Hope has come home tonight!
