The speaker sings about the destruction of his own town, and the destruction of the neighboring kingdom of Erebor, a dwarf kingdom under a mountain. The audience would be outsiders of the town, those who did not witness the town’s destruction. The speaker of this song is a human, from Lake-town, a town on a lake. He soars into the sky, seeking to destroy all his enemies with fire. As they enter the mountain once again, the dragon wakes, and vows to destroy both the dwarfs and the villagers for helping them. In exchange for their help, the dwarfs promise a large portion of the treasure to the town. Now, as the dwarfs venture to the mountain, they are assisted by the human villagers of Lake-town, a neighbouring town. Smaug attacked their kingdom years ago, driving the dwarfs out and claiming the vast treasures collected in the mountain as his. A band of dwarfs goes on a quest to reclaim their homeland, the mountain kingdom of Erebor, from a dragon, Smaug. This song is based on a particular event in the film. OST from ‘The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug’ film Watch the flames burn over and on the mountain sideĪnd if the night is burning i will cover my eyesįor if the dark returns then my brothers will dieĪnd as the sky is falling down it crashed into this lonely townĪnd with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out Watch the flames burn over and on the mountain side, high And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
