Dirge of 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
- When he would asked that his Lords be withdrawn
- And Numenor gave thanks
- As the Elven ranks held back
- The Trolls and the Orcs 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.
