Hallelujahs

by teirrah

Song parodies, mostly to the tune of Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright, but some are of songs such as 'Be a Man' from Disney's Mulan. They are based on characters in the books and films: The Lord of the Rings. I wrote them with my friend Tia.

10. Hallelujah: Gimli's Song

Gimli; Flame and Shadow (Hallelujah)

I heard there was a sacred hall,

In Moria beneath the ancient wall,

The one you say 'Mellon' to be admitted.

The walls are lined with Ithildin,

We delved to deep and woke the sin,

And Moria was felled by flame and shadow.

Flame and Shadow Flame and Shadow

I see the dead but I need some proof,

That Balin's dead or I will not move,

From Moria the dwelling of my cousins.

They held the gates but the orcs they slew,

The dwarves they died before they flew,

And Khazad-Dum was engulfed by flame and shadow.

Flame and Shadow Flame and Shadow

I have never been here before,

I've never crossed the magic door,

But I feel that already I could live here.

It seems so strange and yet so real

I do not know, now, what I feel,

I feel so afraid of flame and shadow.

The journey to the bridge is nearly down,

And all we hear are the sound of drums,

The orcs they are coming to defeat us.

They're all around there is no way,

We're doomed for sure, no more to say,

I close my eyes, and I see flame and shadow.

Flame and Shadow Flame and Shadow

Flame and Shadow Flame and Shadow

The orcs have fled, now I'm confused,

But something in the darkness moves,

It seems that now ours lives are near ending.

We ran so fast, we crossed the bridge,

But surely Gandalf will not give in,

And no, Gandalf is dead in flame and shadow.
