Come closer, and listen to me sing.
Hear the soft, sweet whispering
of your would-be lover, precious thing. Come closer.
.
Take me, love, and I will show
you secrets. You and I will go
and gather pretty things that glow,
and no one else will ever know. Take me, love.
.
Old traveller, let's not tarry here,
but let us venture far and near.
Relive the tales of yester-year.
Or would you simply disappear, old traveller?
.
Oh, wise one, would you win the war
against the future? Slam the door
on progress? Champion nature's law?
Revive the Golden Age before? Oh, wise one!
.
Warrior, perhaps it's strength you seek?
Have courage to wrest me from the weak.
Power is wasted on the meek warrior.
.
But love me, and know it was I that gave
you all the beauty that you crave,
and all the world will be your slave . . . but love me.
.
My captain, I am honour won.
Be worthy, victorious, second to none.
Be every father's favoured son, my captain!
.
Wed with me and, with this Ring,
rule Middle-Earth, and be its King,
heir of Isildur, and his kin.
Master of all and everything, wed with me.
.
Remember, I am all your dreams fulfilled,
And all I ask is all your will. Remember.
.
Beloved comrade? Who is he?
You need no other friend but me, beloved.
.
Forget them all. Forget your home.
All love and loyalty disown.
Simply take me, and claim me for you own.
Be free of all cares and duties you have known. Forget them.
.
Be assured, when you have no other friend,
I will stay with you 'til your end. Be assured.
.
Together, we will share one doom,
one fiery end, one molten tomb. Together.
.
My precious, why must you resist?
Let dust and ashes seal our tryst!
What is this writhing bitterness?
Did I not lead you where you wished?
It's your sweet self you wrestle with, my precious!
