The Morannon Carol

by Aerlinnel

Inspired by the LotR Holiday Carols challenge at HASA: a different rendering of "The Coventry Carol".

Lully, lullay, thou tiny perian,
By, by, lully, lully,
Lullay, thou tiny perian,
By, by, lully, lullay.

O Elves and Men, well do ye ken:
Fall to the Dark ye may.
Distract the Eye, e'en though ye die,
By, by, lully, lullay.

Sauron Abhorred, foul foe, dark Lord,
Chargèd he hath this day
His armies fell, with fear their knell,
Free Folk to seize and slay.

"Then woe are we, Ring-bearer, for thee,
Held by our foes at bay.
Still, fight we shall,
'Spite low morale.
By, by, lully, lullay."
