The first eight lines belong to Tolkien. I wrote the rest.Summary:
A continuation of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" poem.Authoress' Note:
Sucky title, I know. But I like how this turned out.______
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
-
The shadows will fall over sea, over sky
There is naught you can do as they pass you by
Though you will journey so far and wide
To the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
-
Watch as they fall, watch as they die
Under rock, under stone, under forests so high
Their armies will lose, so hard must they try
To free themselves from the shadowy sky
-
There is no escape; you cannot deny
The powers that grow as you wander at night
They rule over all, you'll hear the cries
From the Land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie
-
Run while you can, let your feet fly
Run fast before you run out of time
Listen well, and you'll hear the cry
Stop the ones from Mordor; may their Shadows die
