[Verse] In the mountain's mouth The shadows crept A secret buried A vow not kept Gold gleamed cold in the firelight haze Echoes whispered through the cavern’s maze [Chorus] Gimli's guilty He won’t confess Heart weighed down in the treasure's press Oh the gold Oh the greed It burns so bright Gimli’s guilty Can’t sleep at night [Verse 2] He swung his axe But his heart did pause The coin sang louder than the dwarven cause The stone it wept The halls did groan Gimli stood but felt alone [Prechorus] Was it pride or was it shame The mountain whispers his name [Chorus] Gimli's guilty He won’t confess Heart weighed down in the treasure's press Oh the gold Oh the greed It burns so bright Gimli’s guilty Can’t sleep at night [Bridge] The silver spills like tears from the sky The mountain moans The spirits sigh He built his walls His fortress high But the weight of gold It won’t let him fly
