Smaug the Magnificent
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
Sights made only for the brave and bold
A landscape as beautiful as it can be
Mountains extend as far and wide as the eye can see
Durin sitting in his mighty throne
And the craftsmen chatting in their halls of stone
But things would soon take a different course
And the kingdom would be stricken with a dangerous curse
The Necromancer had been slain in the mountain of fire
The Rings had been lost but things were still dire
For a cloud of smoke suddenly emerged from the sky
And the dwarves held on for dear life
Smaug the Magnificent came riding down
Wings spread wide open he came riding down
The trembling of the ground, the rise of seas
Fire and foulness tinted the serene summer breeze
Smaug was no friend, he was a threat
The face of evil, the master of dread
Scales bursting blood, eyes flashing fire
As smoke and foulness spread across the night sky
Smaug the Magnificent came riding down
Wings spread wide open he came riding down
The spread of death and the burning of trees
Fire and foulness tinted the serene summer breeze
Smaug was no friend, he was a threat
The face of evil, the master of dread
Mountains of gold and a bed of feldspars
As doom and blackness obscure an endless sea of stars
The Ballad of Strider and Evenstar
Aragorn, son of Arathorn, son of Arador
Descendant of kings and the heir to Arnor
Most people talk about how far he’ll get
While the Steward of Gondor only sees him as a threat
But a secret that few people know
Is that his background is not all that matters, no
For, deep down in his soul, there’s room for love
There’s a very fair soul which he loves
Arwen Undómiel, Half-Elven, the kind you only see in movies
Long black hair and blue eyes, a being of unprecendented beauty
But deep inside, she feels torn
She runs to the corner and lets her maiden soul mourn
She’s trying so hard so that her family can be pleased
But what she wants is a heart filled with love and peace
Her father wants her to take the ship
Should she listen to her heart or let her happiness slip?
Her father wants her to leave these shores
He fears for her mortality, but what for?
Who cares about mortality, when you’ve got love?
And the blessing of your ancestors from above?
Will this story have a happy finish?
Or will the Evenstar’s grace and happiness diminish?
