Such a burden no one should have
That is deserved by no man
Like a noose around my neck
Only to be loosened by a thousand steps
I't whispers to me at night
I can see the fire burning when I close my eyes
From this land you must flee
Past the kingdoms where the men roam free
Such a burden that I must hold
My body grows old and my breath cold
The dark Lord speaks in tongues
Bring back the ring lest my reign be undone
Temptations so hard to deny
But their cries are one thing I can't justify
To the black lands where the darkness nests
The only way I can put my weary soul to rest
Grows heavier everyday
My spirit and my hope withers away
To the black lands to be consumed
Baptized in the fires of Mt. Doom
His death brings about his cries
There will be peace until new evil arise
To the shire I must return
What happens next is no longer my concern
