A stone's throw after midnight
Standing in the rain Just echoes of a heartbeat As lonely as the grave The silence rules the half-light With deafening resound As the iridescent moonlight Falls softly to the ground If only for a moment There's peace on middle earth Till stepping from shadows They arrived without a word Don't make a sound We're all out of miracles I shake with fear And watch the wraiths of the ring appear They're reaching out They're tireless and cynical I smell the death And know the wraiths of the ring are here They know that the ring is near A locked door should be airtight Pull the shutters down Better pray that in the daylight We can turn this world around We tip-toe in the footsteps Of those who went before The weary and the breathless Deny what fate befalls A few souls in the darkness Are faithful to the cause So we gather 'round the embers Of a dream worth fighting for Don't make a sound We're all out of miracles I shake with fear And watch the wraiths of the ring appear They're reaching out They're tireless and cynical I smell the death And know the wraiths of the ring are here They know that the ring is near A wrong move from a graveside And no one dares to breathe We would die than ever question The paths of true belief Don't make a sound We're all out of miracles I shake with fear And watch the wraiths of the ring appear They're reaching out They're tireless and cynical I smell the death And know the wraiths of the ring are here They know that the ring is near Don't make a sound We're all out of miracles I shake with fear And watch the wraiths of the ring appear They're reaching out They're tireless and cynical I smell the death And know the wraiths of the ring are here They know that the ring is near Don't make a sound We're all out of miracles I shake with fear And watch the wraiths of the ring appear They're reaching out They're tireless and cynical I smell the death And know the wraiths of the ring are here They know that the ring is near |

The lights go down
To the deafening sound Thunder clouds rolling in through the night My heartbeat pounds As the heavens resound In the wide invincible sky The lightning strikes From celestial heights Goes to ground and testifies Its broken chains Like symmetrical veins Crack the black terrestrial night The fortress walls Face the numberless hordes Will they stand the test of time? The hourglass stands Almost empty of sand Live or die on destiny's shrine The cruel wind cries It incessantly whines In the face of the battle to come In strength and size This colossal divide Is a vast immeasurable one The horns that sound Strike fear in the proud But we're snared and there's nowhere to run We'll live or die With heads held high Till the mighty victory's won The skyline cloaked By the blackening smoke That defies the naked eye We stand our ground Inextricably bound By the ties of friendship and pride We flight the bow And wait for the archer's drum We strike the blow That's straight to the heart, our shields to the hun We fight as we try to keep our dreams alive That history might recall Those who braved the kingdom's rise and fall Fought from the city walls Retreat or stand Is the law of this land In the cold hearted thick of the fight And death's reign damned My superlative plans Making pyres of dreams and old times For Isengard Cast flames through the heart Like the fireball crossing the sky The Helms Deep walls Lie breached in the dark As we stand defenceless inside The brave and pure For a moment stand sure Then to sanctuary we fly The hordes can't reach Our impregnable keep Till the light of dawn when we ride We flight the bow And wait for the archer's drum We strike the blow That's straight to the heart, our shields to the hun We fight as we try to keep our dreams alive That history might recall Those who braved the kingdom's rise and fall Fought from the city walls We flight the bow And wait for the archer's drum We strike the blow That's straight to the heart, our shields to the hun We fight as we try to keep our dreams alive That history might recall Those who braved the kingdom's rise and fall Fought from the city walls We flight the bow And wait for the archer's drum We strike the blow That's straight to the heart, our shields to the hun We fight as we try to keep our dreams alive That history might recall Those who braved the kingdom's rise and fall Fought from the city walls Fought from the city walls |

Old friends never clandestine
Bold destinies, hearts entwined One voice that was lost in time Walking tall against the wind First wave of a turning tide One bastion, truth and pride Strikes out for the last in line As we claw against the wind Go, valiant talon kind In your heart the fearless goal Old and young enough to die We must hide the precious gift From hands the light betrayed Go For we must return it to The fire from whence it came Nine came from forsaken lands Cloaked travellers, half-ling band Free souls with the truth in hand Try to forge against the wind We shadows of Moria Shaped light from Lothlorien Take flight, gentle warriors As we soar against the wind Go, valiant talon kind In your heart the fearless goal Old and young enough to die We must hide the precious gift From hands the light betrayed Go For we must return it to The fire from whence it came Go, valiant talon kind In your heart the fearless goal Old and young enough to die We must hide the precious gift From hands the light betrayed Go For we must return it to The fire from whence it came Go, valiant talon kind In your heart the fearless goal Old and young enough to die We must hide the precious gift From hands the light betrayed Go For we must return it to The fire from whence it came Go, valiant talon kind In your heart the fearless goal Old and young enough to die We must hide the precious gift From hands the light betrayed Go For we must return it to The fire from whence it came |

The setting sunlight fades
And it's only for you, only for you The twilight masquerades And it's only for you, only for you This timeless mood is strangely lyrical Hear the glory as the rhyme unfurls The finite sense we're at the pinnacle In a story where the lines are paved with pearl This shroud of midnight waits And it's only for you, only for you The crescent moon cast shapes And it's only for you, only for you Anticipation reaching critical Not a sound to split the night is heard In silence waiting on a miracle For a voice beyond the light to say the word The mystic halls tonight Resound and canonise From ashes to dust This nightmare might just be over The ancient prophecies Become reality Our prayers will not stay Unanswered this day Now we await the return of the mountain king This crown of daylight breaks And it's only for you, only for you On towers through palisades And it's only for you, only for you To caverns deep and inhospitable Raise a glass and toast this, our rebirth Through canyons dauntingly formidable We are those who risked our lives to save the earth The mystic halls tonight Resound and canonise From ashes to dust This nightmare might just be over The ancient prophecies Become reality Our prayers will not stay Unanswered this day Now we await the return of the mountain king To caverns deep and inhospitable Raise a glass and toast this, our rebirth Through canyons dauntingly formidable We are those who risked our lives to save the earth The mystic halls tonight Resound and canonise From ashes to dust This nightmare might just be over The ancient prophecies Become reality Our prayers will not stay Unanswered this day Now we await the return of the mountain king The mystic halls tonight Resound and canonise From ashes to dust This nightmare might just be over The ancient prophecies Become reality Our prayers will not stay Unanswered this day Now we await the return of the mountain king The mystic halls tonight Resound and canonise From ashes to dust This nightmare might just be over The ancient prophecies Become reality Our prayers will not stay Unanswered this day Now we await the return of the mountain king The ancient prophecies Become reality Our prayers will not stay Unanswered this day Now we await the return of the mountain king |

We, the fellowship, the voice of reason
Cross the waters, climb the highest peak In our hearts we carry hope of freedom Precious cargo on the road we tread to thee So lead us on Across the raging rivers Caves to mountain range We're never apart So stay till the dark is day Less than a breath away We, the fellowship, the faithful legion Shadow walkers on the twilight trail Treading softly through the lifeless regions Never faltering that goodness will prevail We must return Unto the fire that made you Back from whence you came Those slain in the darkness Stain every heart this day They never passed in vain We, the fellowship, have fought together Held a candle to the wildest wind Say goodbye, my friend, but not forever I will answer if you ever call to me So as we leave To make our homebound journeys Go our separate ways This tear we impart is Here in our hearts to stay Till we return someday |
