Somewhat outside my usual style, this song is. 'Tis called "Another twist of the blade," and is from a song by Flogging Molly. The style is folk rock with a heavy percussive beat in the background. It's sung by Grima Wormtongue when...well, you'll see.

T’was in the early evenin’
Near the presence of the moon
When you brought me to learn your cause.
Well, now I see too late -
This dagger I twist in your back
Is because me I never should
Have trusted you at all.
Now beggar and fool
I see your true face in this place -
A serpent with two arms
Devouring me while reigns the sun
With wanderings in foreign lands.
This cold dark tormented life
Is all I’ll ever know now.
So when you die at last
I’ll not mourn for you.

With another twist of the blade -

I scratch your name across these walls
And your blood runs red
Then drips upon a hard cold floor
Where I now call my bed.
No precious light to harbor
Like so many here before
I'm tormented ever more.

With another twist of the blade.

Temper filled with blindness
Leads this lost and lonely man.
Dragged around by your orders
An unhappy, trapped lost man.
So deafen me with silence
Drown me with your roar
Scowl me with your hollow eyes
Still burning to the core.
All doors will go unanswered
Like so many closed before.
No vagabond to knock upon -
This tired and beaten man
And I’ll return from exile
Free from you for once and all.
Decline and fall old Saruman
The truth will yet be found.

With another twist of the blade
With another twist of the blade
With another twist of the blade

This cold dark tormented life
Is all I’ll ever know now.
So when you die at last
I’ll not mourn for you.

Temper filled with blindness
Leads this lost and lonely man.
Dragged around by your orders
An unhappy, trapped lost man.
So deafen me with silence
Drown me with your roar
Scowl me with your hollow eyes
Still burning to the core.
All doors will go unanswered
Like so many closed before.
No vagabond to knock upon
This tired and beaten man
And I’ll return from exile
Free from you for once and all.

With another twist of the blade
With another twist of the blade
With another twist of the blade
With another twist of the blade

Okay, I've decided to depart from the Middle Earth theme and go with a 'Downs themed song this round. I shall be singing "All You People Are Werewolves" by the Helcaraxë Villagers.*

Imagine a fair bit of alt rock 'tude and that's all ya need to know.


I’ve read your posts as they fix on me
What is she doing what on earth is the plan has she got one?
Don't try to give me some pointers since you're all unknown villagers
And I'm just an ordinary one

I ain't got no Wolifsh plots on my mind
That might be a surprise but it's true
I suspect all of you and I don't want your lynch votes or your trust
Or to think in the ways you do

And I never will

Cause all you people are werewolves
And all your theories are stale
And though you pretend to help us
I know you're hoping we'll fail

Well, I've read your posts as they fix on me
Full of suspicion your snarl is just so condescending
Try to pretend that we're on to a win when the gifteds keep dying at night
While we're lynching each other every day

He said I can't believe that you let them lead you astray
Well how much did they fool ya how much did they fool ya
You'd have been better to stay out of their way
Thinking about things but not actually posting anything

Cause all you people are werewolves
And all your theories are stale
And though you pretend to help us
I know you're hoping we'll fail


[repeat]

[long guitar/drum section followed by a moment of silence]

*yells*
All you people are werewolves!

[instrumental fade till end]



* (Which resembles a song called "Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong, But..." by the Arctic Monkeys)
