[Acoustic Guitar and mandolin intro]
[Chorus]
In the shadow of Mount Doom, I stand
The Ring it burns deep within my hand
In the land where the dark power spans
I'm the bearer with a fate unplanned
[Post-Chorus]
Winds of Mordor, breath so cruel
Echos of the past, in this quest I rule
[Verse 1]
Through the Mines where shadows dwell
With silent whispers casting spells
Lost in thought, in Rivendell's embrace
An Elven song fills the empty space
[Bridge]
On Caradhras, the snow it blinds
While bonds of fellowship, in us entwines
[Heavy Buildup Electric Guitar solo]
Over Rohan's plains, the horses race
Glimmering light in Éowyn's grace
In the Golden Hall, our fates, they speak
Of a king restored, and a victory we seek
[Chorus]
I'm just a man with a ring to destroy
Bearing the weight of the world's looming ploy
[Verse 2]
Through the Dead Marshes, specters lead
Beneath the gaze of the Eye, our secret we keep
Dodging orcs, in Gondor's fray
With the White Wizard guiding the way
[Pre-Chorus]
Dark Sauron's bane, it's in my hold
A quest that's written in prophecies of old
[Electric Guitar Solo]
Down to Shelob's lair, we chance our fate
Threads of darkness weave our cloth of hate
Star of Earendil, guide me through
To the fires where this evil we'll undo
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm just a hobbit, not a hero or a king
Carrying the world on a chain, a perilous ring
[Guitar Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
To my Rose
and to my garden
