lyrics

For four hundred years they lived in Watchful Peace
Until the Shadow of the Necromancer rose again
Over the fortress where the wood elves fear to tread
So the wizard rode into the darkened keep
And felt the specter flee, and but a dying dwarf remained
Pressing into the wizard's hand his map and key

Thrain, the dwarven king, in passing carried not
His ring, whose signet bore an awful sorcery within
And Gandalf knew the Lord of Dol Guldur was he
But the die is cast to split their forces and
To draw the Shadow south, far from the spiteful dragon's den
To crash upon his door with magicks primeval

Gaze beyond illusion, behold the heir of Morgoth
Accursed black crown, the master of the rings
Eastward malice grows, beyond the gates of Mordor
To ready Barad-Dûr for Sauron shall return

Through the Mirkwood's north the dwarves and hobbit must
Abscond, as Gandalf joins with the White Council solemn steeled
Whose ancient magicks still recall a grander age
Weakened, Sauron fled, now bested by a
Mighty song, the wizard's horse galloping to the battlefield
Upon the mountain being smote with dragon's fire

Charged to man the fortress come three riders yet
Again, to Dol Guldur whose magicks are not fully delved
To bear this curse upon the lords of Lórien
Second in command, Khamul the captain of
Two wraiths, who shall return in Sauron's stead tormenting elves
Forevermore, so long as their master shall live

Gaze beyond illusion, behold the heir of Morgoth
Accursed black crown, the master of the rings
Eastward malice grows, beyond the gates of Mordor
To ready Barad-Dûr for Sauron shall return

Bridge/Solo

Gaze beyond illusion, behold the heir of Morgoth
Accursed black crown, the master of the rings
Eastward malice grows, beyond the gates of Mordor
To ready Barad-Dûr for Sauron has returned
