Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold
Beneath the cloak of night so bold,
Across the realms where tales are told,
Far over the misty mountains cold,
In lands of legends, old and gold.
Where echoes dance in hollow halls,
And shadows shift on ancient walls,
There lies a path for those who dare,
Through mist and myth, through frosty air.
The peaks, they whisper secrets deep,
Of dragons’ hoard and giants’ keep,
A journey’s call to souls so brave,
To venture forth beyond the grave.
In the embrace of twilight's hold,
Under the stars, in shivers rolled,
Far over the misty mountains cold,
To find the truths the earth has scrolled.
