The Deathless Crown

Hallowed lake, Kheled-zaram, the Deathless spied, reflecting stars,
A gilded crown, above his head, omen that his kingdom there he'd found.
Durin King, dwarven lord, first of seven, he was born,
Six more times, he'd rise again, Khazad-Dum his realm, Longbeard's throne.
In mansions made of stone, the dwarven masters toiled.
Artisans and smiths, shaping Middle-Earth
Growing might, as ages passed, a gifted ring, alliances undone.
By, third age, seclusion, and thirst, for, Mithril lead
Durin's, folk to, delve deeper still. Stirring, the nameless horror.
Dwarves fled, their king was slain.
Expelled, by dread of Morgoth's stain.
Displaced, and led by Thrain
Their new, kingdom Erebor
As foul things, infested halls, The Black Pit, to Sauron falls.
Moria, a poisoned land, corrupted in the grasp of his black hand
Durin King, dwarven lord, first of seven, he was born,
Six more times, he'd rise again, Khazad-Dum the realm of the Deathless

Bow before the white hand... all hail Saruman
Drain the life's blood of these lands.
Curunir the White demands.
Fangorn scorched he'd salt the land.
Uruk banners bear his hand.
Raze... fuel for war forges... Ablaze
Raise... from the birthing pits... March
Seizing land for Saruman
Uruk Hai by wizard spawned
Raven murders fly
Black spies choke the sky
The fellowship must die
Under Sauron's watchful eye
…watchful eye
The Man of Skill. Istari lord, forsaken by the Valar
Feigning allegiance to Gorthaur's battle cry
Drain the life's blood of these lands.
Curunir the White demands.
Fangorn scorched he'd salt the land.
Uruk banners bear his hand.
Fear... Lord of Isengard's … Wrath
Will... the White Messenger's... Craft
The Man of Skill, Istari lord, forsaken by the Valar
By power consumed, the Maiaran sorcerer
Saruman, Lord of Isengard, betrayer, of those he deemed weak
His serving, the master Sauron, a notion. that he found bleak
The One Ring, unrivaled prize, ensuring, mastery of fate
Through fire, and industry, Middle Earth, his for the take

War
Uruk-hai, the orc-folk, of Isengard
bore the mark, of Saruman the Wise
By his white, hand branded, the half breeds marred
Born in pits, the man-eaters arise
Leigons spreading blight,
Insatiable blood lust
Imposing their might,
Tyranny unjust
Fearless of sunlight
Merciless butchery
Harbingers of night
Into battle thrust
Leigons spreading blight
Insatiable blood lust
Imposing their might
Tyranny unjust
Fearless of sunlight
Merciless butchery
Harbingers of night
Into battle thrust
Embattled at Helm's Deep,
King of the Golden Hall
Against the ravenous horde
Embattled at Helm's Deep
behind it's mighty walls
beset was Theoden Lord
Rohirrim, at Battle of the Hornburg
Faced grave odds
Breaching, rushing, gnashing
Invading demons seizing hold
Gateway destroyed by blasting-fire
Out from the threshold charged the bold
Riding headfirst into the mire
Slashing, into the, vile throng
Assault, perilous, head strong
Retreat, villainy's, swansong
Flanked by, the Riders of, Rohan
Gandalf, Shadowfax, lead force
The White, Wizard and, his horse
Pinning, Isengard's legion
Freeing, Aglarond, region

Nine rings, for Mortal Men, doomed to die
Forged by, Celebrimbor, for Kings on high
Gifted, to them, betrayed by Sauron's lie
The power, within, coerced to codify
Gifted, to them, betrayed by Sauron's lie
The power, within, coerced to codify
Binding the Kings to serving The Great Eye
Enslaved by The One Ring to his battle cry
Binding the Kings to serving The Great Eye
Enslaved by The One Ring to his battle cry
Potency wealth and might,
sought by them in life
Debased corrupted knights,
devoted to his blight
Spectral shielded sight,
agents of the night
Into damnation's plight,
they minions of spite
All for one, bound to the ring,
Guided by, the foul Witch King
As Sauron broke, falling to man,
The Nine Kings, would too disband
Much like him, this putrid slime,
gathered might, while biding time
Corrupted filth, amassing strength,
shadows reach, was gaining length
Taking shape, conjured forms,
Middle Earth's, coming...
storms
The Nazgul, reemerged,
in third-age, and converged
Storming the, realm of man,
searing their, cursed brand
Minas Morgul, their command,
Palantir in his Black Hand
… His Black Hand
A plague on Arda, The Nine ride
The ring from them, the Hobbits hide
Their Dark Master's, wicked lead
The Ring Wraiths, all cursed though greed
Corrupted though, their lust for rule
Fated to, existence cruel `

Foul Gorthaur the Cruel
Reigned from Barad-Dur... Burzum
Power, through horror
Stronghold, in Mordor
Sauron, sought order
Once known, as Lord of Gifts,
Subjugating Arda as his hordes conquer man
Deify
The Great Eye
Ever nigh... War cry
Shadow in wait
One ring to rule them all
Black hand of Fate
One ring to rule them all
Never abait
One ring to rule them all
Suffer his hate
Before the dark one fall
Corrupter of great kings, bound the Nazgul .
Melkor's lieutenant, a dominion, forged in fire.
Aule's progeny, perverted, Maiar disgraced.
The Lord of Werewolves engulfs Arda's light.
Power, through horror
Stronghold, in Mordor
Sauron, sought order
Once known, as Lord of Gifts,
Propagating darkness as his hordes conquer man
Shadow in wait
One ring to rule them all
Black hand of Fate
One ring to rule them all
Never abait
One ring to rule them all
Suffer his hate
Before the dark one fall

South of Gondor, from land of Harad
Desperate people, aligned with a dark god
Ruled from Umbar, scarcity their fate
Desert dwellers, slaves to Melkor great
Melkor the great
From a land of toil and strain, the Haradrim knew of only pain
They sought deliverance from their strife, swearing fealty to Sauron
Descending from Antani, known as Black Men
Southrons lead by warlord, clans of nomads
Following the Witch King, clash on Pelennor Fields
Mûmakil masters, taming warbeasts
South of Gondor, from land of Harad
Desperate people, aligned with a dark god
Corrupted by Gorthaur, his wayfaring horde
Facing Rohirrim, Minas Tirith their goal
By despots lead, the Haradrim bands
Casting a shadow, on Gondorian lands

Shelob the Great

All who wander nigh,
ensnared, meeting their fate
All creatures are food,
I am Shelob the Great
My webs of shadow lie
above Minas Morgul,
Primordial my scorn,
on the pass of Cirith Ungol
Ungoliant sired
archaic primogenitor
From the land of terror,
I hail from Ered Gorgoroth
No allegiance honored,
to none quarter given
For millennia I feast,
by my hunger driven
Millennia I feast
Eater of my kin,
All beings are food
Cannibalized young
Devouring my brood
Creatures grab for power,
holds no interest here
Indifferent to the Ring
I enliven fear
Ungoliant sired
archaic primogenitor
From the land of terror,
I hail from Ered Gorgoroth
I am the Shadow Spider
Enter if you dare,
Welcome in, outsider
To my grievous lair
Outsider enter my lair
A Hate from the first age,
From Beleriand driven
My eternal rage
To my victims given
Before the first stone
of Barad-Dur was placed
The land of Mordor home,
I am Shelob the Great

Oathbreaker's Curse
05:22
|
|||
Men of The White Mountains
Swore their fealty to Gondor
Oath breakers of Dwimorberg
Betrayed their vow to Isildur
For this treason cursed were they
Till their vow, to heir repaid
Apparitions haunting life
In perdition's baneful strife
Isildur, the mighty king
Gathered forces to crush the ring
A showdown in the Second Age
Sauron's wrath could not be caged
A pledge secured from Mountain King
Debt owed to Osgiliath's throne.
As The Last Allegiance stormed, into battle against evil
Oath Breakers forsook their vow, proving them to be deceitful
High King, swore that day, as he fought the Necromancer
Their debt, the Dead will pay, to his heir. For crimes they'd answer.
Cursed were they
as Sauron fell.
Hexed, shadows, the Sleepless Dead bewitched
Seer, Malbeth, his prophecy affixed
Ages, crawling, as apparitions writhed
Cost, mounting, for treachery they tithed
Heir, foretold, sought The King of the Dead
Wraiths, obeyed, beset his foes with dread
They, lead by brave Aragorn, crushed the Haradrim and Corsairs
Having, at last fulfilled their vow, by the rightful king they were freed
