[ENSEMBLE]

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, niiiine!

[THORIN]

There are ten things you need to know.

[ENSEMBLE]

Number one!

[THORIN]

We broke across the barriers at dawn.

My kin rode out with me, Dwalin served as my

[ALL]

Number two!

[THORIN]

Azog was there with his crew.

His son Bolg, and some Warg-Scouts that he knew

[ENSEMBLE]

Number three!

[THORIN]

I watched as he examined the terrain.

I don’t want to tell you what was happening in his brain.

The end of my line, this beast has pursued!

[ALL]

The end of his blade, you must elude!

Number four!

[THORIN]

Azog hid, maintained his position

We went up the hills, his death our mission

This is an Orc with a general’s ability

Even with his kind, he’s regarded with infamy.

[ENSEMBLE]

Five!

[THORIN]

Our allies were running out of time

So I passed the same spot where Fili died

And that’s why-

[ENSEMBLE]

Six!

[THORIN]

I examined my sword with such rigour

Fire in my soul and vengeance tasting bitter.

[ENSEMBLE]

Seven!

[THORIN]

Confession time? Here’s what I got:

My kinsmen and the burglar, in my hate I forgot.

[ENSEMBLE]

Eight!

[THORIN]

My last chance, don’t negotiate.

Kill or be killed, see if hell or Mahal’s Halls await.

They won’t say this part when this tale’s told

But here it is: I let my pride and fury run cold.

Why? So I could take deadly aim.

It’s him or me, the world will never be the same!

I had only one thought before the slaughter:

This Orc will not take the last son of Thrain’s daughter.

[ENSEMBLE]

Number nine!

[THORIN]

Look him in the eye, aim no higher!

Summon all the courage you require!

Then count!

[ENSEMBLE]

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine!

Number ten paces, fire!
