Silly Songs with Merry (and Pippin)

[Vladivos the Rider]

Not many people will know the song; it's called 'Crusader' by Chris de Burgh, but I tried with LotR lyrics...they're not accurate to the story, though [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

What do I do next? said the Nazgual to his king,
I have searched the whole world over, to find your precious ring,
Those centuries have disappeared,
Yet memories still remain,
Of that token of your greatness; could it be so great, again?

Then his Lord said oh you minion,
Why you really cause me pain,
With your talk of restoration;
I won't need your help again,
There is only greed and evil, in the Men who fight today,
The spirit of alliance has long since gone away.

High on his hill,
Near the tower that was his, too,
There stood Saruman,
The wizard of rainbow hues,
And snoring and sinking, and cawing and stinking,
Around him his army lay,
Secure in the knowledge, that he had won the day.

A messenger came,
With blood on his feet and a wound in his chest,
"The Free-men are coming!" he said,
"I have seen their force in the West."
In a rage Saruman struck him down with his staff, said 'I know that this man lies,
They quarrel too much-
Elves and men can never unite!"

They started the battle at dawn,
Ents taking Orthanc by storm,
With horsemen and bowmen and swordsmen of war,
They broke through the tower walls.
The orc-folk were crying and screaming and dying,
And the allies' swords were strong,
And Saruman ran when he heard their victory song.
