Elempi comes on stage, slouch-strutting his way to the spotlight.
"Wassup. Be cool. I gots a good'un for you all. This song be from the philezzz of one Finarfin Gaye an' it be called 'I heard it through the Elfvine". I hope y'all take to it kindly like."
A rhythmic backbeat sets it up an' Elempi starts snappin' his fingers, shufflin' along the floor in a sauntering dance step, smooth as a cat with mike in hand.
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I c'n sing
'bout your plans to take my bling
With that nasty ol' Rulin' Ring.
Between you an' me I think you know
My ring ain't been touched by you.
It took me by surprise I must say,
When I learned you'd made the One.
Don't you know that...
I heard it through the Elfvine
That ol' ever lovin' osanwë line.
Oh I heard it through the Elfvine,
Oh and I'm just about to close my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
I know that a Elf ain't supposed to cry,
But these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' Arda would end my life you see,
Cause it means that much to me.
You would have told me yourself
That you made a Ring to capture mine.
But Saury...
I heard it through the Elfvine
That ol' ever lovin' osanwë line.
Oh I heard it through the Elfvine,
Oh and I'm just about to close my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
I know you tryin' to confuse us
With all that stuff from the palantirs-
Do you plan to lure me in
With that Ring just like with those nine Men?
Don't you know...
I heard it through the Elfvine
That ol' ever lovin' osanwë line.
Oh I heard it through the Elfvine,
Oh and I'm just about to close my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
Elempi breaks off the song but the backbeat continues as he starts shouting into the mike to the beat:
Ain' no way!
you gonna win heah!
'Cause we Free People!
gonna stand firm heah!
We gonna stand!
and not back down now!
Can I hear it!
from the crowd now! Yeah!
Put 'em togetha!
Hold back the Dark Lord!
High above you head now!
Hold back the Dark Lord!
Ain' no way!
you gonna win heah!
etc. etc. until the crowd's roaring, drowning out Elempi and the backbeat; Elempi bows and leaves the stage.
