Far over the misty mountains cold gis Fis gis
To dungeons deep and caverns old gis Fis gis
We must away ere break of day gis Fis
To seek the pale enchanted gold. E dis gis
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, gis Fis gis
While hammers fell like ringing bells gis Fis dis (H)
In places deep, where dark things sleep, gis Fis
In hollow halls beneath the fells. E dis gis
For ancient king and elvish lord gis Fis gis
There many a gleaming golden hoard gis Fis gis
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught gis Fis
To hide in gems on hilt of sword. E dis gis
On silver necklaces they strung gis Fis gis
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung gis Fis dis (H)
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire gis Fis
They meshed the light of moon and sun. E dis gis
Far over the misty mountains cold gis Fis gis
To dungeons deep and caverns old gis Fis gis
We must away, ere break of day, gis Fis
To claim our long-forgotten gold. E dis gis
Goblets they carved there for themselves gis Fis gis
And harps of gold; where no man delves gis Fis dis (H)
There lay they long, and many a song gis Fis
Was sung unheard by men or elves. E dis gis
The pines were roaring on the height, gis Fis gis
The winds were moaning in the night. gis Fis gis
The fire was red, it flaming spread; gis Fis
The trees like torches blazed with light. E dis gis
The bells were ringing in the dale gis Fis gis
And men looked up with faces pale; gis Fis dis (H)
Then dragon’s ire more fierce than fire gis Fis
Laid low their towers and houses frail. E dis gis
The mountain smoked beneath the moon; gis Fis gis
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom. gis Fis gis
They fled their hall, to dying fall gis Fis
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon. E dis gis
Far over the misty mountains grim gis Fis gis
To dungeons deep and caverns dim gis Fis dis (H)
We must away, ere break of day, gis Fis
To win our harps and gold from him! E dis gis
