Helm's Deep

Between the White Mountains in Rohan you sleep
Named for Helm Hammerhand, known as Helm's Deep
Haven for its people, harbour for its Kings
Defence against foes your towering wall brings.

Mighty fortress of stone, now Rohan's last stand
For a blight has come to taint this fair land
Your walls must defend all of those held within
While warriors fight to protect their kin.

In your Glittering Caves are found precious stones
And women with children, torn from their homes
Fearful and terrified, they tremble with fright
Will they and their loved ones survive this night ?

A host of foul creatures of Saruman's make
Bear fire and dew stone, your wall they shall break
This dark wave of violence shall batter your gate
The men battle on, unsure of their fate.

Rohan's blood has been spilled, your wall it is breached
Evil moves on till the Hornburg is reached
Theoden King and his men, muster to charge
But what chance have they with a foe so large ?

Yet look ye to the east, to the rising sun
With Gandalf and Éomer, hope has come
Evil is pushed back, the filth washed away
Rohan endures and shall see one more day.

Your purpose is served and your duty is done
The price was high but the battle is won
Your wall will be mended along with your Keep
Within the Grate Coomb, once more shall you sleep.
