The Last Alliance
Golden sun glimmering
Weak and resolute in the darkness
Shining on steel and on helm;
Cold blades gleam
Bringing hope in the darkness
To those who refuse to despair.
There were some, who resisted!
They were figures from legend
Brought from myth into life
Standing firm against the cold darkness.
Death standing before them
Their eyes bright and firm
Grim faces unshaken by evil.
There were some, who resisted!
Mortals and elven-kind
Brothers lost now united once more
Facing death side by side and by friend.
A great host shone in the sun
Beneath cloud and shadow and dark
Spreading from Mordor to stifle and slaughter.
There were some, who resisted!
Seduction of evil calling
Whispering thoughts of darkness
An echo of power twisted into defeat.
The world had not fallen
But stood poised on the fragile and sharp
Blade of a knife, balanced oer darkness.
There were some, who resisted!
Their spirits were strong, their gaze did not flicker
These heroes of legend and myth of the ages
Fighting the last battle, alliance
The Dark Lord would fall
Or all of the world would;
They were the ones who stood firm.
There were some, who resisted!
The shadow was creeping, covering
Quenching all that it touch within Arda
As before Morgoths echo is quailed helpless.
Fair faces grim and severe
Unsmiling and unflinching
As they stared back into Shadow.
There were some, who resisted!
Gil-galad, Elendil;
Heroes they were and heroes to be
That stood firm against darkness.
The alliance was forged
Out of steel strong as mithril
Good uniting firm at last against evil.
There were some, who resisted!
Death whispered on black wings
Chilling hearts and dimming the skies
Above the unflinching heads.
The Shadow creeping, smothering
All the lands with is will of evil
Pausing but once at the battleground.
There were some, who resisted!
The light shone there true
Unwilling to falter though darkness should press
With all of its might wishing to smother them.
Hope frail and flickering, never extinguished;
When all hope did seem lost, that was the chance
Darkest hour arising, offering a moment of light.
There were some...who resisted...
