The road goes ever on and on,
No rest for weary feet to find
Guided by evil, hither and yon
Hope has left my broken mind
I speak to the stars,
And beg for a sign
I stumble, the Ring mars
My soul, entangles my heart as a vine
Samwise beside me
Helps me to my feet
None is as faithful as he
In this final battle's deadly heat
The road goes ever on and on,
And I arise to follow
The Ring a stone to stumble upon
Over hill and under tree and through the misty hollow
I kneel, broken by its weight
Samwise helps me up again
We stumble on to face our fate
We must go on; lose or win
Shelob stings, the acid oblivion reigns
My soul is dark, my eyes blind
My body wracked by silent pains
The Orcs come to beat and bind
The road goes ever on and on,
And I will ever follow,
When Sam, of whom I am so fond,
Removes me from my darkness wallow.
