They Are Coming

A/N: The poem applies to The Two Towers and before the battle at Helms Deep.

The noise of the battle comes to their ears, humming
The approaching army, they are coming

The soldiers wait in the gloomy and dark
Their heavy breaths are hushed, they are coming

The opposing force cares not for stealth
Their footsteps alert that they are coming

The forces are visible to each other
The defenders know that they are coming

The two sides prepare for a great battle
The land holds its breath, knowing they are coming
