Speed running Two Towers

V4.5+

(The song starts with a fast, urgent guitar skank and a driving, breathless rhythm section. A high-pitched saxophone wails in the background.) (Verse 1 - The Three Hunters) Aragorn's runnin' hard, got no time for sleep, Legolas is lookin' far and his promises to keep! Gimli's keepin' up now, panting with a sweat, Chasin' after Uruk-hai, a-runnin' with regret! They're across the plains of Rohan, got no time to rest, Gotta find the hobbits, put their purpose to the test! Found the Rohan Riders, lookin' at the pyre, Gotta find the hobbits, or the quest will be dire! Viggo Mortensen LITERALLY broke his foot kicking the helmet! WHOA!! (Chorus) Woah-oh, we gotta move! Got no time for a break! Woah-oh, we gotta run, for goodness gracious sake! There's danger 'round the corner and there's evil on the way! Gotta make it to the end, gotta win this very day! (Verse 2 - Merry and Pippin) Got out of the Orcs' grasp, right into the green! Found the great big talking trees, a most peculiar scene! Treebeard's movin' slowly, goin' at a gentle pace, We're tryin' to tell him there's no time to take up space! He's got a big ol' beard, and he talks about the old days, But we just need to hurry up, get out of these long hallways! We showed him all the carnage, and he finally got mad! Now the Ents are off to war, and that's not half-bad! (Chorus) Woah-oh, we gotta move! Got no time for a break! Woah-oh, we gotta run, for goodness gracious sake! There's danger 'round the corner and there's evil on the way! Gotta make it to the end, gotta win this very day! (Verse 3 - Frodo and Sam) Got a ring around his neck, and a little map to go, Gollum's slitherin' with us, puttin' on a scary show! Past the dreaded Dead Marshes, gotta keep your wits about, Got the Nazgûl flying over, wanna hear a little shout! We're goin' to the Black Gate, but the door is shut and sealed, Gotta find another way, a new path is revealed! We're off to the dark tower, with the slithery, small friend, Gotta get the Ring in there, 'cause this is not the end! (Bridge) (The music becomes a chaotic, frantic instrumental break. The saxophones wail a frantic, off-key melody, as if multiple things are happening at once.) Aragorn's at Helm's Deep, fighting hard and long! The Ents are at Isengard, singing a loud song! Frodo's with Gollum, taking on the path, All this chaotic action is gonna bring God's wrath! (Outro) (The music speeds up even more, then abruptly stops with a final, cymbal crash and a loud, exaggerated shout.) WE GOTTA GO!
