Editing Dirge of the Red Lions

Dirge for the Red Lions.

Sang to the Tune of "When the Tigers Broke Free" By Pink Floyd

;T’was just before dawn
;One hopeless dark morning in 3430
;When our King and Commander
;Gil’ Galad, went on to the Mountain
;And there asked that his Lords be withdrawn
;And Numenor gave thanks
;As the Elven ranks held back
;The Trolls from the banks for a while
;And the Towers of the Teeth
;Were held for the price
;Of a few extraordinary lives.
;

;And kind Isildur
;Sent Mother a note
;When he learned Caran-Rhaw’s Lord was gone.
;It was, I recall,
;In the form of a scroll,
;With gold leaf adorned,
;And I found it one day
;In the armories below, hidden away.
;And my eyes still grow damp to remember
;Elendil’s heir signed it
;With his own seal and stamp
;

;It was dark all around
;There was blood on the ground
;When the Black Orcs broke free
;No Lord there was saved
;From the Vanguard of troops from the Wood or the Sea.
;They all went to their graves
;Most of them dead,
;The rest of them dying
;Thus ends how the Dark Lord took
;All the Red Lions from me.
