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

The Dwarfs, like the Elves, are fading from Middle Earth. An analogy of how mystisicm, frontiers and the "unknown" magical places are fading from the earth.

The Elves, take their fate with grace and choose to migrate to the old lands (where none other may go but gods and elves). That or die and fade in Middle Earth. 

The Dwarfs, however, are a much prouder species. They take their fate in a much more melancholy but heroic way. They continue like old, they always seek to regain their lost glory and power, even if they know they never can. They always look for caverns old, lost gold and glory, lost homes and lost legacies. 

The great tragedy here is that they know it's futile, but why do they do it? Easy. Why not? It's who they are, they are dwarfs. As they sing this old song in the movie, this is shown, because even though it reminds them of a lost capitol and a lost eon of dwarf supremacy: They all stand up. They're stout, but melancholy at the song. They all show their honour and pride of who they were, who they are. Dwarfs. 

It's a weird thing really, their dungeons and caverns will in due time be their mausoleum as they fade. As the last dwarfs die out in their magnificent halls and prodigious caverns. They're in fact seeking back not to lost glory, but to rest, to be forgotten with their gold, to remember and be remembered for their glory days. 

I guess that's just how badass dwarfs are. As long as the last one draws breath, there'll be a proud, stout, angry, alcoholic, pipe-smoking, goblin-slaughtering dwarf. Humming this song in memory of old, regretting nothing but still strangely sad and proud at his legacy left. 

All things fade. Dwarfs just do it much better than any other ever could. 

Great work on the song.

lyrics:
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.

For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword.

On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.

Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves.

The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night.
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.

The bells were ringing in the dale
And men they looked up with faces pale;
The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail.

The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom.
They fled their hall to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.

Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
We must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!

The intensity of the lyrics, the meaning of the words could only be resonated by this piece of work. It's one gorgeous effort and I'm sure you've given Tolkien's work some appreciation through this. Very grateful. 💖💖💖
