Rain pours down upon Helms Deep on a night

The orcs roar loudly at their enemy

I string an arrow on my bow to fight

Creatures fighting and dying to be free

An arrow shoots past me, thus begins war

Ladders filled with orcs connect to the wall

I look at the dead, their faces are poor

I heard an explosion then a great fall

Men surround the wall defending their home

A dwarf and a man charge into the mob

They keep safe by blocking the door with stone

King Theoden says, "Of our lives, they rob."

The sun rises as Gandalf rides forth here

The war for Helms Deep has passed, but in heart-fear
