Can You Dig It?
(based "Can You Dig It?" by the Monkees; original words and music by Peter Tork)
Two days before Rauros, Boromir drifts into an uneasy slumber, tormented by temptation to take the Ring from Frodo. As he dozes, exotic, otherworldly music begins to echo through his mind. A strangely soothing voice begins to sing:
One Ring doesn't change,
There is only one,
Changing men from inside.
What do they become?
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
Those who know it use it;
Those who scorn it die.
To sing that you can dig it
Is to make your soul to fly
To Val'nor!
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
(an instrumental break follows)
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
There is only power
In this world of life and death.
I sing the praise of never-change
With every single breath.
Can you dig it?
Do you know?
Would you care to let it show?
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Literally entranced by the music, Boromir determines to get the Ring at all costs and drifts into deep, dreamless sleep. The temptation is complete, and Boromir has fallen.
