Oakenshield Lyrics
Here he stands the last in line
King of dwarven kind
Bearer of the oaken shield
A trophy of the battlefield
Noble born son of Thraín
Inheritor of the mountain
Ending of the Durin kin
Rival of the dragon
On that dark day
He earned his name
Oakenshield destined to reign
A fallen branch
Would save his life
But for his fallen brothers
In pyres they burned bright
With King Nain dead on the battlefield, the kingship passed to Thorin’s father, Thrain II. But he too would suffer a dreadful fate, tormented and killed by the wicked orcs of Dol Guldur. Thus, Thorin Oakenshield, in his 95th year, became the heir of Durin, inheriting not just the crown, but his family’s vengeance upon the dragon
Another king put to the test
Thorin in battle faced his death
The fate of so many Khazad
A victory taken with mortal cost
Our king slew Bolg, son of Azog
Alas his life too was lost
Laid in stone to rest
The Arkenstone upon his breast
King of dwarven kind
Bearer of the oaken shield
A trophy of the battlefield
Inheritor of the mountain
Ending of the Durin kin
Rival of the dragon
He earned his name
Oakenshield destined to reign
Would save his life
But for his fallen brothers
In pyres they burned bright
Thorin in battle faced his death
The fate of so many Khazad
A victory taken with mortal cost
Alas his life too was lost
Laid in stone to rest
The Arkenstone upon his breast
