The Secret Entrance to Lonely Mountain

Thorin opens the secret entrance to the Lonely Mountain. (Side 2, 17:17).

"Then Thorin stepped up and drew the key on its chain from round his neck. He put it to the hole. It fitted
and it turned! Snap! The gleam went out, the sun sank, the moon was gone, and the evening sprang into the sky.
Now they all pushed together, and slowly a part of the rock-wall gave way. Long straight cracks appeared and
widened. A door five feet high and three broad was outlined, and slowly without a sound swung inwards. It seemed
as if darkness flowed out like a vapour from the hole in the mountain-side, and deep darkness in which nothing
could be seen lay before their eyes, a yawning mouth leading in and down."
