Poem parodies

[Galadriel55]

The original (by The Beatles) - Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night...
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird, fly! Blackbird, fly! Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night...
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird, fly! Blackbird, fly! Into the light of the dark black night.



I made two versions:

Gandalf to Saruman

Orthanc's standing in a puddle of mud...
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see:
There's no way
You will solve your problem by yourself - without me.
Saruman, Saruman, your voice lost it's power, so don't play, please!

Orthanc's standing in a puddle of mud...
Use your once wise brain and learn to think!
Come down here,
I will save your skin and I swear I will let you free!
Think again, Saruman. You are not as clever as you sure hope to be.


Morgoth to Hurin Thalion

Hurin, look! Your fate is in my hands!
Through my evil eyes I'll make you see
Everything!
Except for truth and goodness not a thing shall hide from thee!
Go one laugh, if you dare! Your silent suffering will amuse me.

There are no more sad and bad things that
With your laughing eyes you did not see;
Now, go on!
I bet you were waiting for this moment. Now you're free!
Hurin, leave, Hurin, go, into the darkness of Middle-Earth!
