Story behind the song
The Fellowship of the Ring Scene at Rivendell
Lyrics
We were attacked at Weathertop, it was dark and we had stopped
The Nazgul’s stabbed and chopped, till Strider saved the day
Frodo took a deadly slash, a poisoned blade made a gash
To Rivendell we did dash, lest he fade away
Chorus
The ring cannot be used for good
It’s not a Hobbits toy
Cast it into Mt Doom's fire
The ring must be destroyed
For Frodo’s sake we did need, a way past the black riders speed
Asfaloth was Arwen’s steed, and got us to the ford
The wraith ranks were quickly hewn, halfway cross the River Bruinen
Water caused a soggy ruin, all from Arwen’s word
The folly of an ancient king had led to Gollum’s precious thing,
When Bilbo found the magic ring, its true source wasn’t known
Isildur had made a stand and cut the thing from Sauron’s hand
Refusing Elrond’s better plan, he kept it as his own
Strider revealed as the Kings heir, joined by Gondor’s Boromir
They will lead the ring bearer, to Mordor and Mount Doom
Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, said they would brave the mountain pass
Sauron’s might it could not last, if they acted soon
I’m just a gardener, Sam’s my name, Merry and Pippin came
The world at stake is not a game we Hobbits do enjoy
Now we set forth from Rivendell, nine against a great evil
The ring that powers Saurons will, has to be destroyed
