Under the mountains, deep in the world's core Hiding under ancient rock and stone There I have dwelt for a dark timeless age In a cruel world, cold, lost, alone
Within these caverns of grim shadows The rock surrounding me Hides me from the light, brings me comfort Caught underneath and yet as free as I could ever wish to be
...Under the mountain I can... Hide myself, hide my sorrow Hide my deepest pain and grievances of old All my days seem like endless nights So dark, not a single star above
Within these caverns of grim shadows The rock surrounding me Hides me from the light, brings me comfort Caught underneath and yet as free as I could ever wish to be
I can feel it, I feel it, it's near Now is the time to come to me
II: The Oath
Watching the world through corrupted eyes Piercing the shadow with their cruel sight Nothing escapes from the cunning hunter's gaze Nothing escapes in White-Face light
...And so I hunt down The thief - BAGGINS!! The traitor - BAGGINS, SHIRE!! The filthy liar that took away my one
I alone am the rightful owner of the One the precious, my precioussssss...
III: A Twist Of Fate
A bleak sun rises in the East Yet the night's reign is prolongued Blackest of clouds cast from Orodruin Darkness falls upon -
- The barren land I have to cross To aid the master in his quest Yet my goal remains unspoken I swear that I will find no rest
Until he holds his precious One Safe and tight in longing hands A baneful twist of fate spells chaos For all of Arda's lands
...For all of Arda's lands shall tremble and despair under my reign...
...They will call me The Great...
IV: Sorrow And The Dreamer
My sorrow now ablaze The call from the Darkland I shall not heed The eye of evil flames One part of me corrupted by greed One part still dreams of old forests of green And the beauty of all that remains to be seen Released from this curse, unbound and free
V: Of Reason And Lost Ones
In the Land of Shadows Under barren rock and ash The final change was made That set the final fate
Yet somewhere locked inside The creature's twisted mind A voice cries out in vain to him Unheard, ignored, forgotten by the Ring
The time has come for you to open up your eyes Time to awaken, see the truth obscured by lies
Leave now, go while you still can And find that better place you have been after Leave now, never come back (never to return) It is no longer your master!!
