“Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back and home to bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Neil Finn
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Far over the misty mountains rise
Lead us standing upon the height
What was before we see once more
Is our kingdom a distant lightFiery mountain beneath a moon
The words aren’t spoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tuneSome folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we liveAll eyes on the hidden door
To the lonely mountain
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten goldWe lay under the misty mountains cold
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we holdFrom long ago where lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
A fate unknown, the arkenstone
What was stolen must be returnedWe must away thee break of day
To find our song for heart and soulSome folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we liveAll eyes on the hidden door
To the lonely mountain
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long forgotten goldFar away the misty mountains cold
