At the end of the Quest we're another year older
And we find ourselves once again at our doors
It was a struggle, it was a war
And there's nothing that anyone's saying,
What are we so different about,
What was it for?
One year less to spend on living
At the end of the Quest we're another year colder
The fact that Sauron's gone doesn't keep out the chill
Other hobbits hurry past
They can never understand the pain inside
And the winter is coming on fast,
Ready to kill
One year closer to dying
At the end of all things it's another life dawning
And the sun of our hope is waiting to rise
And the waves still crash on the sand
Just as if nothing had changed
There's a hunger in our hearts
And there is hell to pay
At the end of all things
At the end of the quest, we get nothing but nothing
Sitting flat on our butts eating our old familiar bread
And there are children now at home
And sometimes we look into their eyes
And we cry, for they'll never understand
And we're lucky to be back at home
In our own beds
And we're counting our blessings
Have you seen how Frodo is in pain today
With his gasping breath and the wound in his chest
It's because it's the anniversary of that horrible day
Try and give him some comfort
Hold onto his hands
At the end of the quest it's another year over
And enough in our souls now to last us a life
And the wizard still visits
And there's plenty of bread on the table
And everything comes in your way
At the end of all things
And what have we here, poor innocent Samwise?
Why is your heart so torn in two?
Now your Master has left you, you will be behind here
For years to come
You must stay as one!
What was the fighting all about?
Why are our hearts so torn apart?
What was the point in the end?
Now come on back and settle down, this is a town of repute
You'll be the mayor of the town
In your heart you can sort this out
And be as patient as you can
It will not end where it began
At the end of the day, He's the one who began it
The Ring was hiding in Gollum's dark cave
There was a great price he had to pay
Now he is dead!
And Frodo lost a finger
Yes, it's true, the Ring's gone and Frodo destroyed it
Though he had to have help from the Stinker
Then he lived in Bag End all alone
And wrote depressive poetry, what's the matter with that?
At the end of the day, it was nothing but trouble
There was trouble for all if there was trouble for one
While they lived on lembas bread, Gollum preferred the butter
Frodo was sent away to live with the elves
And Sam's heart had Hell to pay
At the end of the day
I might have known that Sting could bite
I might have known Gollum had teeth
I might have guessed His little secret
Ah, yes, the foolish Sauron
Who never has his trousers on
Oh, yes, I surely had no doubt
He was a giant eyeball, looking about
But when you are a giant eye
It is quite easy then to die
He was laughing at Frodo while He had His fun
He'll never ever laugh again
Frodo blew up his world
Blew up his world real bad!
Right, Dark Lord.
On your way.
