Elrond's song...
Sung by a variety of people, not all of whom are Elrond! (originally Year 3000 by Busted - a proper modern anthem!)
The Scene: A sum up of all that is Rivendell Elvish in the whole of the tTT and the beginning of tRotK... Ish...
E: One day, when I came home, at lunchtime,
I heard a funny sound
Went out to the back yard to find out if Elladan
Had come 'round
Stood there was my daughter and Elessar
And a shiny Evenstar
She gave up her immortality
Because she's in love with him
Yeah, yeah... She said...
A: I love this Ranger, Strider
This will not change 'though he's going to Gondor
It won't be long til your fine daughter
Is getting wed (getting wed)
E: I looked to the future and I lost hope; I saw everything
Mortals and another one and another one... They're all dying now
Arwen, left alone, she's crying; I just can't stand it
I've got to prevent these things
They just can't be happening,
No, no... she said
A: I've seen the year three thousand
Not much is changed and I don't have a daughter
But you saw my son, you oughta-
Reforge the sword (-forge the sword)
E: I took a trip to the Elf sword makers
They were at lunch, came back later
They fixed the sword and I made my way to
Give it to you, Lord Elessar
I give you hope as you go to battle
This is a chance to prove your mettle
Isildur failed but you'll do better (you'll do better)
Ara: I take my sword and I go to war
I know what I'm fighting for
Yeah, yeah, I say
I have the sword; t'was broken
So much has changed, I go into the mountain
And I summon the dead to fight
To fight for me (fight for me)
They said...
D: You can't call us, you fraud
You're not the king and that isn't The Sword
And we don't think you're a Lord
A Lord of Men
Ara: I said
I'm off to the land of Gondor
This is my Sword, it has been reforged
And I call you now to help me
What say you? (G+L: What say you?)
We went...
We stormed onto the field
And Anduril, my sword I did yield
And lots of orcs, they got killed
Gondor, I'm home
