Gollum sneaked silently over the rocks, following the fat hobbit. He blocked the path to the Precious…must get the Precious..

Where once was light
Now darkness falls

Gollum was gaining on him..The deep rumbling of the mountain grew steadily louder as the Precious got closer.

Where once was love
Love is no more

Suddenly, a voice ahead cried out:
"I have come!" said the Master as Gollum rounded a corner in the dark passage. Master stood at the Crack of Doom, holding the Precious. "But I don't choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!"
And Master vanished.

Don't say – goodbye

Gollum hissed, crying "Precious!" and sprang forward. He knocked the fat hobbit's feet out from under him and rushed ahead.

Don't say – I didn't try…

The ground shook and trembled. Only feet ahead, a rock bounced and hit a wall. Gollum attacked the air where the stone had been, hitting the invisible Master. They wrestled on the brink of oblivion.

These tears we cry
Are falling rain

Gollum groped and pawed, searching wildly for Master's hand. He bit and scratched whatever he could find.

For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame!

For a moment, Sméagol paused. What have we done? Master..hurts the Master..the Precious... Sméagol flung himself to the ground, sobbing and choking, clawing at the dirt.

And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost!
And can never go home

Nothing moved. The Master was still. In those seconds, Gollum flung himself towards the air above the footprints in the sand. He grabbed the finger which held the Precious, brought it to his mouth and bit down as hard as he could.

So in the end

Gollum paused, crouching on the ground as Master appeared, writhing in agony. Gollum jumped up and began dancing around.

I'll be – what I will be

"My precious!" Gollum cried happily, waving the bloody, decapitated finger around. "Sméagol has the Preciouss, the Precious!"
And with that, even as his eyes were lifted to gloat on his prize, he stepped too far, toppled, wavered for a moment on the brink, and then with a shriek he fell.

No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

He fell, long and far he fell. The finger and the Precious slid out of his wet, sweaty hands as they neared the lava.
"PRECIOUS!"
With a crash, Sméagol landed on an island of rock. He could feel everyone bone in his body break. He moaned, writhing in the pain and the heat.

Now we say – goodbye

And even in the end, Gollum taunted Sméagol.

We say – you didn't try…

Sméagol began to weep. The Precious fell past him, spiraling into the depths. And explosion rang through his ears.

There's tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!

The very earth itself shook. The liquid fire shot in every direction, bubbling and hissing furiously. Sméagol realized he was going to die.

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost!
You can never go home

With a final sob, the world exploded around him.

You are lost!
You can never go home…
