Lonely Mountain Lullaby

by Anfloga

Inspired by the mentions in the film of Fili and Kili's childhood, and the 'starlight' conversation. A lullaby from Dis to either or both of Fili and Kili.

Dwarfling prince, lay down your head,

There's a song for you in the stars

They shine as bright as did the gems

In those ancient halls of ours

For those bright stars which shine for you

Will shine forever more

On Durin's lonely mountain,

And the land of Erebor

Dwarfling prince, the time will come,

Says the song of the stars,

When Durin's line will rule again

In those ancient halls of ours

There gems will glow like earthen stars

In halls of carven stone

And you will see them shine for you

When the mountain king comes home

Dwarfling prince, your mother's here

To sing you the song of the stars

Their light is cold, but you're safe and warm

In this cottage home of ours

And I'll watch o'er you while you sleep,

Guard you while you dream

Of the lonely mountain beneath the moon

And the halls where earth-stars gleam.
