[ Tolkien ] The Doom Of Man

              
Doooooom            
             
Dooom dooom            
             
Doooooom            
             
Dooom dooom            
             
Hear the drums beat            
ground shaking beneath feet;         
the very earth is coming alive!            
Pulse of ten-thousand strong            
marching swiftly along            
without break in rhythm            
or mistep in their stride            
             
Fueled by hatred            
Inhumanity crossbred            
---tormented existence        
wretched, despised            
Whips lashed against backs            
Rank and file tracks            
as they press onward            
in the chill of the night            
             
Cold rain            
steadily in deadfall            
Front lines come halt            
beyond the great stone wall            
Now the hour is here            
Succumb to every fear            
Make a final stand            
Death come for one and all            
       
Man and Elf together           
embrace the horror at hand            
fighting side by side;            
testament to dark days            
as volley after volley            
of flaming catapult shot            
shatters collapsing towers            
upon bodies left to rot            
Battlements overthrown            
fires raging hot            
           
and on through the maelstrom            
beat the war drums            
             
Doooooom              
             
Dooom dooom            
             
Doooooom            
             
Dooom dooom        
             
All the while the White Wizard laughs           
             
Doom doom doom doom            
             
as the Age of Men            
comes crashing down            
in miserable end            
---nowhere to hide            
Time has come now            
for Orc and Machine            
smashing legendary refuge              
into mountainside            
Fire undoing stone            
Helms Deep overthrown            
           
and on through the maelstrom            
beat the war drums            
             
Doooooom            
             
Dooom dooom            
             
Doooooom            
             
Dooom dooom            
             
Doooooooooooom
