Is it safe on the ring,
In the cusp of an unmade king,
And the violence that it brings?
But, his pride ruins everything.
Every time in the light it seems
His victim's heart arises from the sink.
Ooh, the moon shines the way.
Settle down and trust our time will come again.
One day, my brothers, we'll storm the gates.
I've seen the signs attesting fate
Straining to dawn my throne.
Are you coming my brothers? I cannot wait.
The path that hides implies estate,
And all the world wants to take what I'm owed.
Turn this flow.
Burn your way back home.
Is it safe in the fold?
Come alive on the winding road
'Tween the violence and the gold.
In stride everything is slowed.
A bit tired of butchering their legions in tow,
But I'll have a tale to tell when I'm old.
This time I'll sever his dull mind
Straight from his wicked dream.
The weary noise of his army's voice
Like a song to set me agleam.
Ooh, and the moon still shines the way.
Turn it to the unseen rune and
Seek the setting sun another day.
One day our sisters will sing again,
The splendid verse of the plight it’s been
Straining to dawn my throne.
In the day when my city will see my kin,
And we can't confide outside our friends
'Cause all the world wants to take what I'm owed.
Turn this flow
Home.
Ooh, I tried.
His lust for gold is too much to fight.
This life will cost you more than I.
Ooh, I decry
Against the fear against the light.
Gold, you lied.
Your warmth is wry
With its toll.
Take my soul,
But in time,
I'll take the fight.
Ooh, stay behind
As the shapes of your friends disappear into the fight.
Choose your wealth or choose the light, Thorin.
Wake the blood and hold us through this night.
(Through this night)
This day is the day, my brothers and friends,
To embrace this life for the ride it's been
Awaiting to come back home.
This time, when the walls came closing in,
And the mountainside replied covered in grins
'Cause all the world fought to rescue my throne.
At last I've made it back, but I cannot stay.
The path leads straight through home and on.
