Denethor's Song
I woke up in the morning
To this pain and this burning
Of the loss of my pride
I am alone, no one's by my side
I watched the sun go down
Upon my city, upon my town
Nothing is left in this life
Except war hate and strife
This is why we must learn
That in the end everything must burn
My country and my city
Neither will have my pity
My sons have gone into the west
I will not be content with their rest
Should a man experience such pain?
Did my children die in vain?
No sounds of laughter to fill the hall
My heart was gone with their fall
All that is left is a barren land
That is why we must strike out with all we can
This is why we must learn
That in the end everything must burn
My country and my city
Neither will have my pity
We must burn Minas Tirith to the ground
No room for Mordor anywhere around
We will start first with my son
Oh, yes I will have some fun
He will burn into the night
And we will burn without a fight
The land of Gondor will be gold
No land of Gondor for Mordor to hold
Those ignorant fools, what a surprise
When they come to their senses and open their eyes
The land of Gondor will be gone
In a raging fire, before the dew-filled dawn
This the end there is no more
Destroy the city, no victory for Mordor!
