Stand by the Grey Stone Lyrics
It's a strange song to sing
In the mid-summer wind
Under the stars
And over mountain-streams
Rare moonlight beams
On runes bizarre
And now the path is known
On the map it shone
It's not very far
From the eagle's home
And the Carrock stone
To where the golden hoards are
Stand by the grey stone (last)
When the thrush knocks (light)
Stand by the grey stone (of Durin's Day)
Will shine upon the key-hole
Stand by the grey stone (last )
When the thrush knocks (light)
Stand by the grey stone (of Durin's Day)
Will shine upon the key-hole
Under the dragon's wing
Sickness and the ring
Of war that greed brings
And though the Worm is dead
And the Black Arrow sped
His fire still burns red
For a gleaming golden hoard
Fly banners and the sword
The carrion bird sings
But with sparks of rainbow light
Comes the thief in the night
Child of the kindly West
In the mid-summer wind
Under the stars
Rare moonlight beams
On runes bizarre
On the map it shone
It's not very far
And the Carrock stone
To where the golden hoards are
When the thrush knocks (light)
Stand by the grey stone (of Durin's Day)
Will shine upon the key-hole
When the thrush knocks (light)
Stand by the grey stone (of Durin's Day)
Will shine upon the key-hole
Sickness and the ring
Of war that greed brings
And the Black Arrow sped
His fire still burns red
Fly banners and the sword
The carrion bird sings
Comes the thief in the night
Child of the kindly West
