I am born of stone and ancient fire, Of broken crowns and dragon’s ire. Exiled king, yet blood runs true, The mountain calls — I answer too. I walked in ash, I slept in snow, With iron will and oath below. They took my home, they took my name, But not my right, not Durin’s flame. Pre-Chorus Hear the drums beneath the ground, Hear my fathers’ voices sound. Every scar, every loss endured Has forged a king that stands assured. Chorus I am Thorin Oakenshield, Son of kings, my fate is sealed. By crown and steel, by grief and flame, I will reclaim my rightful name. Let gold be curse or gold be crown— I stand. I fall. I take my ground. Verse 2 I’ve seen the price of stubborn pride, Watched brothers bleed and warriors die. The gold whispers, cold and sweet, A serpent’s voice beneath my feet. Yet deeper still than hoarded gleam Runs loyalty, oath, and dream. For hearth and kin, for those who stand, I’ll bare my soul, I’ll bare my hand. Pre-Chorus If madness comes, then let it break, Against the love I choose to take. No throne is worth a heart turned stone, No king stands tall who stands alone. Chorus I am Thorin Oakenshield, Hammered hard, but never kneeled. Through shadowed halls and battle’s cry, I lift my sword — I will not hide. Let legends judge what I have been, I fight for those who stand within. Bridge If this road ends in blood and night, Then let my fall still serve the light. Remember me not for gold or grave, But for the mercy that I gave. Final Chorus I am Thorin Oakenshield, Last to bow, last to yield. If death should come, then let it see A king who chose his family. My story carved in stone and flame— I am my choice. I am my name. Outro (spoken or whispered) Under mountain, sky, or sod… I go to my fathers — unashamed. my love Erich my love. Du jetzt langt’s mir langsam ich geh’ ne tschüss!
