(Verse 1) Three rings for the Elven-kings, one for the Dark Lord’s hand, A shadow starts to stretch across the green and pleasant land. Frodo’s got the burden, Samwise holds the light, Nine companions marching on into the gathering night. They reached the bridge of Khazad-dûm where fire meets the cold, And Gandalf found a famous phrase for stories to be told! (Chorus) Oh, you shall not pass the doorway! You shall not pass the gate! One does not simply walk to where the Orcs and shadows wait! The road goes ever onward, through the rain and through the snow, With a fellowship of legends and a ring they have to throw! (Verse 2) Legolas is counting heads, Gimli’s swinging high, While Aragorn is looking for a kingly way to die. But even in the darkness, there is humor to be found, Like "Salted pork is particularly good," when friends are all around. And if you’re feeling hungry on the path that you must tread, Don't forget the second breakfast or the lembas bread! (Chorus) Oh, you shall not pass the doorway! You shall not pass the gate! One does not simply walk to where the Orcs and shadows wait! The road goes ever onward, through the rain and through the snow, With a fellowship of legends and a ring they have to throw! (Bridge) "Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew!" That’s what Samwise Gamgee says is the proper thing to do. "My precious," whispers Gollum, lurking in the cave, But even the smallest person can be the most brave! (Guitar Solo / Epic Folk Breakdown) (Outro) They climbed the Cracks of Doom at last, the fire burning red, "I’m glad to be with you, Samwise," is what the hobbit said. The Eye is gone, the King is crowned, the eagles fly so high, Beneath the silver starlight of a Middle-earth sky! (One does not simply... walk... away!)
