The Mouth of Sauron
[INTRO] (The Black Gate groans open.) (Low horns.) (A single rider emerges.) MOUTH OF SAURON: Well... Who's come to bury hope? --- [VERSE 1 – MOUTH OF SAURON] Look at your faces. Dust. Blood. Prayer. Marchin' all this way just to die out here. Thought you had a plan? Thought you had a king? Funny... How every desperate story need a desperate thing. Your little thief? Gone. Your little quest? Done. Everything you built ended under my sun. See this mail? Recognize the shine? Small enough for somebody you left behind. He screamed. He begged. He broke. Just like you will. --- [HOOK – BOTH] One will rule them all. One will make the call. One heart stands... The rest will fall. Who wears the weight? Who bears the flame? History remembers... Only one name. --- [VERSE 2 – MOUTH OF SAURON] Go home. If you've got one left. Bury your banners. Save your breath. Your hope walked in... Never walked out. Now all you've got is fear and doubt. Tell me, King— Can a crown stop grief? Can a sword bring back your favorite thief? Didn't think so. Drop your steel. I'll make surrender the best bargain you ever feel. --- [VERSE 3 – ARAGORN] You mistake silence for surrender. You mistake mercy for fear. You mistake friendship for weakness. That's why you're standing here. Maybe he's fallen. Maybe he hasn't. That changes nothing. Hear me. We didn't march because victory was promised. We marched because some things are worth every heartbeat. You wear another's mouth. I speak with my own. That's the difference between a servant and a king. --- [HOOK – BOTH] One will rule them all. One will make the call. One heart stands... The rest will fall. Who bears the weight? Who keeps the flame? History remembers... Only one name. --- [VERSE 4 – ARAGORN] Look behind me. Not soldiers. Brothers. A rider who buried his king. A gardener who'd cross the world for one friend. A dwarf. An elf. A wizard. Men who chose each other when fear said run. That's a kingdom. Not walls. Not crowns. Not thrones. If this is our last sunrise... Then let it witness what free people look like. Your master taught the world to kneel. We'll teach it how to stand. (Beat drop) FOR FRODO!
