The Tolkien Song

Far over the Misty Mountains cold

Lived peoples proud and heroes bold,

From a Hobbit's door to the land of Mordor,

Together they fought against evils old…

Twice there came, in history

A Halfling's help to bring victory,

"The road goes ever on" was their song,

With every telling comes a grander story.

An elf prince, a dwarf warrior, and a grey mage

With four Shire-folk and two men of the Third Age

Come together to destroy The Deceiver's precious joy,

Their many journeys etched in a red book's page:

One ring to rule them all,

Two towers dark and tall,

Nine heroes unite, making wrong right,

Grey to white and the Evenstar's light,

A forest's fight and nation's might,

Bring forth a Dark Lord's fall.

All far over the Misty Mountains cold…
