Oh, misty eye of the mountain below Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke Keep watching over Durin's son If this is to end in fire Then we should all burn together Watch the flames climb high into the night Calling out father, stand by and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side And if we should die tonight Then we should all die together Raise a glass of wine for the last time Calling out father, prepare as we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees And I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me Oh, should my people fall Then surely I'll do the same Confined in mountain halls We got too close to the flame Calling out father hold fast and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side Desolation comes upon the sky Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze And I hope that you'll remember me And if the night is burning I will cover my eyes For if the dark returns then My brothers will die And as the sky's falling down It crashed into this lonely town And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out Now I see fire, inside the mountain I see fire, burning the trees I see fire, hollowing souls I see fire, blood in the breeze I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire) I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire) And I see fire (fire) And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side Ed Sheeran- I See Fire Lyric Analysis

Oh, misty eye of the mountain belowKeep careful watch of my brothers' soulsAnd should the sky be filled with fire and smokeKeep watching over Durin's son

If this is to end in fireThen we should all burn togetherWatch the flames climb high into the nightCalling out father, stand by and we willWatch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

And if we should die tonightThen we should all die togetherRaise a glass of wine for the last timeCalling out father, prepare as we willWatch the flames burn auburn on the mountain sideDesolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire, inside the mountainI see fire, burning the treesAnd I see fire, hollowing soulsI see fire, blood in the breezeAnd I hope that you'll remember me

Oh, should my people fallThen surely I'll do the sameConfined in mountain hallsWe got too close to the flameCalling out father hold fast and we willWatch the flames burn auburn on the mountain sideDesolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire, inside the mountainI see fire, burning the treesI see fire, hollowing soulsI see fire, blood in the breezeAnd I hope that you'll remember me

And if the night is burningI will cover my eyesFor if the dark returns thenMy brothers will dieAnd as the sky's falling downIt crashed into this lonely townAnd with that shadow upon the groundI hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire, inside the mountainI see fire, burning the treesI see fire, hollowing soulsI see fire, blood in the breeze

I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)And I see fire (fire)And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

And if the night is burningI will cover my eyesFor if the dark returns thenMy brothers will dieAnd as the sky's falling downIt crashed into this lonely townAnd with that shadow upon the groundI hear my people screaming out

Shot of flame cracking in darkSound effects of fire engine Connotes she has burned herself to death
