Sitting at work bored out of my mind as usual.
I do not own any of LotR, nor do I own the song American Pie. I did this purely for fun and self-amusement while the minutes of my life tick away in this stupid cubicle.
--------------------------------------------
A long, long time ago
Some can still remember the Alliance between Elves and Men
They had success at Dagorlad
They made the evil Sauron mad
But vanquished he was there and then
But still Isildur kept the Ring
He couldn't yield that evil thing
But it did betray him,
Some Orcs they came and slayed him
The Ring was lost, the memories fade
The path towards the future laid
And the Dark Lord, his time he bade
The Ring was not unmade.
Oh...
One Ring, how much grief it does bring
Brought a Fellowship together
But their strength is failing
If they succeed, then Middle Earth will all sing
To the Age of Man and hail to the King
That will be the time of the King.
Now there lived in the lake town
A small creature with his hair all brown
Smeagol was the name he gave
He and his friend, they found a Ring
He killed his friend so he could take the thing
And went and lived deep in a mountain cave
Well along came Bilbo on a quest
He went to Gollum as a guest
He took the Ring and fled
Gollum went right out of his head
Bilbo went back home with all he'd gained
But when his years of life did wane
He gave to Frodo Isildur's Bane
The Ring still not unmade.
Bilbo was singin...
One Ring, how much joy it does bring
Still, I'm one hundred eleven
And my strength is failing
So I go live with all the Elves and I'll sing
To the Age of Man and hail to the King
Soon will be the time of the King.
Now for many years Frodo kept it hid
What Gandalf said to do he did
But that's not what the Ring did want
When the Wizard heard of the evil scheme
He put together a Hobbit team
But a voice filled Frodo's ears with a taunt
Oh and while the wraiths were looking round
For the Ring that wanted to be found
The Hobbits went to Bree
Then to Rivendell they flee'd
And while Elrond held the council wise
They met all of the other guys
And Elrond said amid the sighs
The Ring must be unmade.
They were singin...
One Ring, how much power it brings
All the faces of the races
Showed their inner failing
They all succumbed to the will of the Ring
Not listening to Elrond or the King
No they didn't heed the words of the King.
They sneered and jeered, but Frodo volunteered
Then around him eight more appeared
Eight more to form the Fellowship
And they traveled o'er the land
All tried so hard to withstand
The ring taking them into it's grip
There were Hobbits, Men, an Elf, a Dwarf
And a Wizard who guided them forth
All of them fought so hard
But with blood the land was scarred
Oh as the group broke into several parts
The Son of Gondor broke our hearts
The words he said as he departs
The Ring must be unmade.
The rest were cryin...
One Ring, how much pain it does bring
Brought a Fellowship together
But now we are dying
If Frodo fails, we can forget this whole thing
There will be no Age of Man and no King
Sauron will harm every living thing.
And no longer all in one place
The hunters started on the chase
After the Hobbits across the plains they ran
They fought the Uruks at Helms Deep
While Fangorn, no longer asleep
Took care of Isengard and Saruman
Oh and as Frodo and Sam pressed on,
They came across the creature Gollum,
He tried to be their friend
On him they had to depend
And as the Nazgul flew high in the air
Frodo and Sam were almost there
But of Gollum's scheme they were unaware
The Ring, it called to him.
He was singin...
One Ring, how much pleasure it brings
Hobbitses they stoles our precious
But we sees it glinting
It will be ours, and then for all time we'll sing
To the precious, to our precious, our Ring
It is certainly the most precious thing.
They met a girl who swung a sword
She killed the Witch King and saved her lord
But still he died anyway,
They all marched on the Black Gate
Chins held high, accepting Fate
Strength of Man would surely uphold on that day
And on Mount Doom the Hobbits cried
The Men fought hard, at last allied
But unless Frodo did well
They were all going to hell
And as Frodo could not let it go
Gollum bit his finger off, and lo
He fell into the fire below
The Ring had been unmade
And they were singin...
One Ring, how much grief it did bring
We are glad they have destroyed it
Aragorn is now King
But now all of the Elves are fast departing
Their own power being tied to the Ring
What a double-edged sword was this thing.
They were singin...
One Ring, how much pain it did bring
But the Elves are headed westward
Every one is leaving
And with them Dwarves and Hobbits they sometimes bring
Leaving Middle Earth to Men and the King.
