new music in M-E
think about famous (or not so famous...) songs that you know. then try to figure out if it would fit in the events of LotR or some other Tolkiens story.
(it would be nice, if you could find a link where to hear that song) for example: in Helm's deep Legolas doubts their changes to survive over the night. Aragorn starts to sing Madonna's 'Die Another Day'( listen here - windows media ) i hope you guys understood my confusing explanation, so happy posting!

Well this is an interesting idea. The song that popped into my head right away would have to be Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen. It was featured in the movie Higlander which is very good. To me this song relates to Aragorn and Arwen's relationship. It kind of represents how Arwen gives up her immortality. I guess you could play it when Arwen passes on the Evenstar pendant to Aragorn in FOTR. You can go to fye.com and search for this song to hear a portion of it. I tried to link it here but when I checked it the link didn't work. *shrugs*
Here are the lyrics to the song. Quote:

Hahaha fun stuff.
In FOTR in Bree, Frodo & Strider are getting aquainted in the upstairs room Frodo: Who are you? Cue music: "Who are you" by the Who (Sorry I couldn't get a link [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )

Every song by the band Summoning (read their lyrics and you'll know why: http://www.darklyrics.com/s/summoning.html
Any battle sequence i always think of Manowar's Blood of My Enemies: Three sons have I,and they Ride by my side.-The fierce, The black, and the wicked are their names-we ride down my enemies on their half-hearted flight. No voice of mercy-no evangels of light. Mighty messengers-heathens rage Witness our coming-gods of the dead. I ride through the air- I laugh as I die-with powers of evel Dark knowledge is mine. The 1st sin was trust.- Kill without warning-for blood now I lust Strong wind-magic mist To Asgard the Valkries fly High overhead-they carry the dead Where blood of my enemies lies. Three sons have I,and they Ride by my side.-The fierce, The black,and the wicked are their names-we ride down my enemies on their half-hearted flight. No voice of mercy-no evangels of light. Strong wind-magic mist To Asgard the Valkries fly High overhead-they carry the dead Where blood of my enemies lies. I know its more Viking themed but it still fits the mood for me...Come to think of it, pretty much any Viking Metal goes well with Tolkein for me (Ancient Rites, Enslaved, Bathory, etc) When I think of a tale in the Silmarillion, where some elf guy (i'm sorry, i've read it twice and i still can't keep track of ANY of the names) slays Glaurung and he himself is slain because of Glaurungs poisoned blood, and his lover comes to grieve for him i think of this song by My Dying Bride 9. For My Fallen Angel As I draw up my breath, And silver fills my eyes. I kiss her still, For she will never rise. On my weak body, Lays her dying hand. Through those meadows of Heaven, Where we ran. Like a thief in the night, The wind blows so light. It wars with my tears, That won't dry for many years. Loves golden arrow At her should have fled, And not Deaths ebon dart To strike her dead. When Merry's looking in the Palantiri-Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath For various episodes of The Silmarillion And I Lust... By Anathema (more for the atmosphere of the song than for the specific lyrics) 1. ...And I lust Stately columns standing in solemn rows Such empty honours are suitable for those Whose death erases all renown and fame And vanquishes their glory with their name Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields Rewards are just, who knows what absence yields? By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I. Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams I see a face stare back at me... oh, so serene. By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I. Those whispering shades... sad, silent glades But not for those whose superior worth After death extols them to the earth I would even venture to assume That one need not build for them a tomb By human art, since glory heaven sent Serves them as a living monument Pain is a far away land, Misery, a lifetime's journey... ...and I lust for death (judgement). King Crimson goes well with Tolkein as well thats all for now folks (more later maybe)

I've only got dozens of songs that would work here. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
One good one is "Crawling in the Dark" by Hoobastank. I think it works for Frodo mostly, and a bit for Aragorn... I will dedicate And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth Of how my story's ending And I wish I could know if the directions that I take And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing <chorus> Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what I've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Help me carry on Assure me it's okay to use my heart and not my eyes to navigate the darkness Will the ending be ever coming suddenly? Will I ever get to see the ending to my story? <chorus> How much further do I have to go? And how much longer 'til I finally know? 'Cause I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me In front of me <chorus> Another good one is "Only the Strong" by Flaw. I'm putting the lyrics for the acoustic version here, so... What makes you think that it'll all work out it the end? Afraid to feel bad. Better off to try and pretend. I'm immortal, immune to all that is wrong. Just keep on wishing.Crossing my fingers, so long. Is this helping? I'm growing weaker each day. Can't stop whining. Still afraid of what I might say or reactions, that control us one and all. <chorus> It's mine, it's pure and as decent as I can make myself Inside, we all know, only the strong survive. So now I'm bleeding on myself yes once again. Seems I trusted another deceitful friend. My fault. Should've known the deal. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer, for real. Seems easy, but nothing could be so hard. Trying to guess life's dealing. What's the next card? I'm surely folding. I don't like this had at all. <chorus> Maybe things happen for a reason and wherein lies the answer To overcome the grieving of life's unruly lessons. I'm handed in sucession. It builds my pain which makes me strong. <chorus>(3x) I will survive You will survive We will survive That's all I've got now, but I'll be back with more! Abedithon le, ~*~Aranel~*~

Hah, I don't know what's up with this but I keep thinking of songs by The Who that could go with Tolkien's works...
"Boris the Spider" (by The Who) for any part with a gigantic spider, ie: Ungoliant, Shelob, the spiders in Mirkwood. It goes like this: Look, he's crawling up my wall Black and hairy, very small Now he's up above my head Hanging by a little thread Boris the spider Boris the spider Now he's dropped on to the floor Heading for the bedroom door Maybe he's as scared as me Where's he gone now, I can't see Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly There he is wrapped in a ball Doesn't seem to move at all Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure Pick this book up off the floor Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly He's come to a sticky end Don't think he will ever mend Never more will he crawl 'round He's embedded in the ground Boris the spider Boris the spider [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] I know it says very small in the beginning, but we could think of it sarcasticly, har har har.

In Les Miserables there is a song that makes me think of Helm's Deep. I don't know the title but here are some of the words:
Did you see them going off to fight? Children of the barricades who didn't last the night Did you see them lying where they died? Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried Did you see them lying side by side? Who will wake them? No one ever will No one ever told them that a summer's day can kill They were schoolboys, never held a gun fighting for a new world that would rise up like the sun Where's the new world now the fighting's done?

Part of "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence applies to Frodo while he's in Mordor, especially when captured Cirith Ungol & the like: how can you see into my eyes like open doors leading you down into my core where Ive become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home (Wake me up) Wake me up inside (I cant wake up) Wake me up inside (Save me) call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) bid my blood to run (I cant wake up) before I come undone (Save me) save me from the nothing Ive become I've a song for Sam as well- a part out of "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling: If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go And maybe, I'll find out The way to make it back someday To watch you, to guide you Through the darkest of your days If a great wave should fall It would fall upon us all Well I hope there's someone out there Who can bring me back to you Quote:
Forget the light, skate and destroy Pass the jogger, skate and destroy Snap it back, skate and destroy Kick that bike, skate and destroy It's not a cause or political belief, it's something in my thinking If you agree it's cool by me, at least I'm not a robot I'm not afraid of things I read, I won't divide my friends up Dictatorship of people's minds is not what I will strive for The cops are coming after me, their sons are BMXers They always try to stop me but urethane is faster than boots You may be in a parking lot throwing up your contents So what who cares I know I don't Be a hood, don't be good. Haha, I think "Skater Boy" goes better though. [ July 16, 2003: Message edited by: Aredhel Ar Feiniel ]

maybe in Rivendell (like described in the Hobbit)the elves could sing: "Don't worry, Be happy" you can find it here. here are the lyrics: Here's a little song I wrote, You might want to sing it note-for-note Don't worry, be happy In every life we have some trouble, But when you worry, you make it double, Don't worry, be happy Don't worry be happy now.

Good one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And I've got another song too- it goes out too all the little hobbit children of Middle-Earth:
"Bless the Beasts & Children" by The Carpenters Bless the beasts and the children For in this world they have no voice They have no choice Bless the beasts an the children For the world can never be The world they see Light their way When the darkness surrounds them Give them love Let it shine all around them Bless the beasts and the children Give them shelter from a storm Keep them safe Keep them warm [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (by the way, "Bless the Beasts & Children" is a most wonderful book- this song is from the movie version.)

Actually, there is a song by Rush that's actually called "Rivendell". Here's some of it:
<chorus> You feel there's something calling you You're wanting to return To where the Misty Mountains rise and friendly fires burn A place you can escape the world Where the Dark Lord cannot go Peace of mind and sanctuary by Loudwater's flow I've traveled now for many miles It feels so good to see the smiles of Friends who never left your mind When you were far away From golden light of coming dawn 'Til twilight where the sun is gone We treasure every season And ever passing day There's another one by Rush called "The Trees" which I think is kind of an Fangorn Forest song...: There is unrest in the forest, There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas. The trouble with the maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light. But the oaks can't help their feelings If the like the way they're made. And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade. There is trouble in the forest, And the creatures all have fled, As the maples scream "Oppresion!" And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights. "The oaks are just too greedy; We will make them give us light." Now there's no more oak oppresion, For they passed a noble law, And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw.

There's a Finnish band called Nightwish and they have made a song called the Elvenpath.I think it's just awesome.
Spoken, female: In the sheltering shade of the forest Calling calming silence Accompanied only by the full moon The howling of a night wolf And the path under my bare feet... ...The Elvenpath Sung, female: Hearing music from the deepest forest Songs as a seduction of sirens The elf-folk is calling me Tapio, Bear-king, Ruler of the forest Mielikki, Bluecloak, Healer of the ill and sad Open the gate and let me follow the uncarven path The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath The moonwitch took me to a ride on a broomstick Introduced me to her old friend home gnome Told me to keep the sauna warm for him At the grove I met the rest - the folk of my fantasies Bilbo, Sparhawk, goblins and pixies Snowman, Willow, trolls and the seven dwarves The path goes forever on The way to the lands Where as a hero I stand The path where Beauty met the Beast Elvenpath It's the honesty of these worlds Ruled by magic and mighty swords That makes my soul long for the past Elvenpath Spoken, male: Long ago, In the early years of the Second Age, Great elven smiths forged rings of power. Sung, female: As I return to my room And as sleep takes me by my hand Madrigals from the woods Carry me to neverland In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight In this spellbound night The world's an elvish sight Spoken, male: But then, the Dark Lord learned the craft of ringmaking and made the master ring. I wish i could get a link for you... You guys have brilliant posts to this thread, keep on!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sounds like a great song. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] This next one goes out to good ol' Strider:
"Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys" by Willie Nelson Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day And if you don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probly just ride away Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountian moringin's Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night And them that don't know him won't like him And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him He ain't wrong he's just different but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

As I mentioned in another thread, the song "My Immortal" by Evanescence reminds me of both Sam and Frodo.
I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all of my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave Because your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone [CHORUS] These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I've held you hand through all of these years But you still have all of me You used to captivate me By your resonating light But now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away my once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me [CHORUS] I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone And though you're still with me I've been alone all along ----------------------------------------- And then there's the song "Haunted" also by Evanescence, which can apply to either Frodo or Gollum. Long lost words whisper slowly to me Still can't find what keeps me here When all this time I've been so hollow inside I know you're still there Watching me wanting me I can feel you pull me down Fearing you loving you I won't let you pull me down Hunting you I can smell you - alive Your heart pounding in my head Watching me wanting me I can feel you pull me down Saving me raping me Watching me [ July 17, 2003: Message edited by: Brinniel ]

Evenecences has a lot of songs that remind me of LOTR. The chourus of the song Whisper by Evnescence kinda reminds me of Frodo:
don't turn away don't give in to the pain don't try to hide though they're screaming your name don't close your eyes God knows what lies behind them don't turn out the light never sleep never die listen here -Earwen P.S.: Brinniel: I love your sig [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I've come up with a couple of more, both are from Bathory's Blood, Fire, Death album released in 1989 (i think)
this one (again) makes me think of the Gondorians (?) and the Rohirrim gathering before the Black Gate, waiting for the battle to commence 1. A Fine Day To Die Orgy of silence Conspiracy of peace Only the sound Of the cold northern breeze Twinsun sink fading Behind the black lake Asleep is the mountains Yet the night is awake Strange is the night Now black stars rise And many moons circle Through silent the night Along the black mountainside scattered By the campfires awaiting the dawn Two times a hundred men in battles Tried by the steel in the arrow axe and the sword By battle worn hunger torn awaitening For the sun to break through the cold haze And for the banners of Ebal to appear On the hill in the suns first warm rays The elder among the men looked deep into The fire and spoke loud with pride Tomorrow is a fine day to die Now the morning advance from far east Now the sun breaks through dustclouds and haze Now a forest of spears appears on the hill And steel shines bright in the suns first rays Die Die Die Die this next one makes me think of the Nazgul: 6. Dies Irae (latin for Day of Wrath) [Secret message: first letters of each line compose phrase "CHRIST THE BASTARD SON OF HEAVEN] Creed of eternal life I swore Held my candle of life to the void Risen from the dead I deaths powers wed In the name of the one with horns on head Sleep of eternity withdrawn as dark upon The life of mine drew the very end so near The price another life the gospel of the Horned one to spread shore to shore Eternally his words let hear Be silent listen to the wind crying out the Answer to all mankind call from other Side speach of horned divine To end your search in hope to find As sure night divides the day and as sure day divides the night Raging flames is allthat awaits us on the other side Doomed the very moment he calls See his star ablaze his children On the night the flames reach for the sky Night is comed to enter the never ending burning fire Onto you all his word is given Fear not reach to take his hand Hear our master calling us his children Eternal life is given death withdrawn As wolves among sheep we have wandered Victory lies beyond their spit and scorn Even the heavens shall burn when we are gathered Now when the flames reach for the sky Dies Irae more to come later

I just thought of another one (so quickly this is a rarity LOL)
This is from Burzum's Filosofem album, doesn't this just strike you like an Elf contemplating his own immortality? (however i'm not sure if this is something original or something Tolkein himself wrote....) 5. Beholding The Daughters Of The Firmament [Musikk og tekst skrevet Januar 1993 a.y.p.s.] I wonder how winter will be with a spring that I shall never see I wonder how night will be with a day that I shall never see I wonder how life will be with a light I shall never see I wonder how life will be with a pain that lasts eternally In every night there's a different black in every night I wish that I was back to the time when I rode through the forests of old In every winter there's a different cold in every winter I feel so old so very old as the night so very old as the dreadful cold I wonder how life will be with a death that I shall never see I wonder why life must be a life that lasts eternally I wonder how life will be with a death that I shall never see I wonder why life must be a life that lasts eternally as well anything that has a medival atmosphere goes well with Tolkein like stuff by Die Verbantannen Kinder Eva's, Dargaard, Dead Can Dance, Braveheart soundtrack, Wagner (I know Tolkein himself would shudder at the suggestion but i find Wagner's music appropriate to Tolkein's writings), Ulver's Bergtatt and Kveldsjaner albums, as well as anything by In The Woods..., Opeth.... i think t hats enough from me [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

There's this song from The Last of the Mohicans called "I Will Find You". It reminds me of Frodo & Sam. I don't really know all the words by heart.
"I Stand Alone" by Godsmack makes me think of Frodo when Galadriel tells him "...to bear a ring of power is to be alone." "Going Under" by Evanescence makes me think of Frodo when he loses conciousness on the banks of Bruinen. Theses are the words to "Going Under": Now I will tell you what I've done for you 50 thousand tears I've cried Screaming, decieving and bleeding for you And you still won't hear me Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself Maybe I'll wake up for once Not tormented daily defeated by you Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom I'm dying again I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through I'm going under Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies So I don't know what's real And what's not Always confusing the thoughts in my head So I can't trust myself anymore I'm dying again I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through So go on and scream Scream at me I'm so far away I won't be broken again I've got to breath I can't keep going under

The Josh Groban song "To Where You Are" reminds me of Finwė after the death of Mķriel. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Forgive me if it seems sappy.
Who can say for certain Maybe you're still here I feel you all around me Your memories so clear Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak Your still an inspiration Can it be That you are my Forever love And you are watching over me from up above Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile To know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream And isn't faith believing All power can't be seen As my heart holds you Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me Everyday Cause you are my Forever love Watching me from up above And I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on and never leave Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile To know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are I know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are

this one goes to Aragorn and Arwen when they have their 'stupid' dream scene [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] ...ahem.
Sung by Celine Dion, My heart will go on Every night IN MY DREAMS I SEE YOU I FEEL YOU, that is how i know you go on. Far across the distance and spaces between us You have come to show you go on. Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on...(and so on.) well, maybe it's a bit too used [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I couldn't find that song you mentioned by evanecences, elven maiden Earwen but i heard two other songs from them and they were nice!And to Sapphire_Flame, I'm finnish so I know that band, i have one of their cd's.I'll keep on seeking the link for you!

Thank you, dancing spawn! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
For everyone else, I have just two words: Blind Guardian. Nearly all of their songs are actually based on LotR and the Silm. I definitely recommend them. Abedithon le, ~*~Aranel~*~

Oh my God Sapphire Flame, I thought I was the only person in the world who knew that rush song Rivendell. I dont know any songs that remind me of LotR but I have found a few sounds that are about LotR: (my playlist)
Radiohead:Ballad of Bilbo Baggins (very funny) Nickle Creek: House of tom bombadil (celtic like music) Blind Guardian: Lord of the Rings Stratovarius: Lord of the Rings (instrumnetal) Styx: lord of the rings (very embarasing)

the onyl problem with Blind Guardian (and this is symtomatic of all power metal methinks) is that they're too cheesy by ME standards [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] and at best nothing more than 4th rate Iron Maiden ripoffs. I need only reitirate my praise for Summoning, a band whose entire artistic existence is centered around Tolkein and Middle-Earth and do it sounding very original and not cheesy at all [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No the song is not good at all, it has nothing to do with LotR, but they named it lord of the rings FROM THE PIECES OF 8 ALBUM IT GOES
(sorry for caps) All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the music in their story All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the lands of ancient glory In the year of the Lords The message came from above The heavens opened with their mighty sound that shook the people in the town And so we came from everywhere The young and old the rich and poor To hear the legend of the magic ring and of the powers it could bring, they sing All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the music in their story All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery it brings May we someday wear its glory And now the message is clear For I became a Lord this year And though the legend was pure fantasy We still need the hope that it brings, so let's sing All hail to the Lords of the Ring To believe is a wonderous thing May we always sing their glory All hail to the Lords of the Ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the promise of their story

The 1st line of the Beatles song "Taxman" goes "Let me tell you how it will be/There's one for you, nineteen for me." My little brother and I realized that it was like Celebrimbor singing to Sauron about the Rings of Power. We wrote a whole parody of "Taxman" entitled "Sauron." I'll post it later (gotta go now).

I'm back! Here's our song.
Sauron, by Orominuialwen & Balėsirion (to the tune of "Taxman," by The Beatles) Let me tell you how it will be There's One for you, nineteen for me 'Cause you are Sauron, yes you are Sauron If you take our rings, we'll kill your orcs If you wreck Hollin, we'll kick your butt [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] As long as Imladris will shelter us 'Cause you are Sauron, yes you are Sauron Annatar you are not And Orodruin is not too hot 'Cause you are Sauron, yes you are Sauron You made One Ring to rule them all Now Lindon we must call 'Cause you are Sauron, yes you are Sauron We have others, but they are all to the tune of commercials on the radio and I doubt anyone would recognize them. P.S.Will someone please rate me? Thanks.

I found the perfect song for the Isengard Orcs. Its by Graveland from the Following the Voice of Blood album.
1. White Hand's Power The white hand, proud and strong by ruling the realm of Isengard, White as consciousness of illuminated mind spirit became flesh, symbolized by the hand. That's true cleanness, being able to raise the world out of its hinges and create it new: Behold the banner's flying, it calls to join, because the white hand prevails... White Hand's Power to the realm of Isengard, White Hand's Elegance to the Kings of Isengard White Hand's Supremacy to the ancestors of middle-earth White Hand's Dominion to the end of the world...and to universe at next!!! Marching southwards, orkish battlecries in air, heavy boots crush down weakness in dust. Warriors executing inferior lifes by fireword: Submit or die. Creatures of odd... Creatures of ill... Creatures of mud... Degenerated by mixed blood! Submission, Submission, Submission To the splendid kings of Isengard, to the race born of ice and flames! White Hand's Power to the realm of Isengard, White Hand's Elegance to the Kings of Isengard White Hand's Supremacy to the ancestors of middle-earth White Hand's Dominion to the end of the world...and to universe at next!!!
