From The Dark<\/strong>
\nBy Valiril Erquentien<\/em><\/p>\n

The moon and sky is ever dark and leaf and stone create the marks
\nUpon the shadowed face as the call comes from the grave
\nBut fear and horror take their holds, and forgotten is hope like dust in wind
\nThe horn blows and all is silenced, when heavy footsteps tread the path<\/p>\n

To Mordor, Sauron\u2019s forge glimmering like a poisoned spear amongst the clouds
\nWhen broken bones and the bleeding dead is left a wandering road to rot
\nAnd to carpet the Dark Lord\u2019s footsteps, as death and screams echo round
\nHis evil crown shining dark and tattered cloak billowing in the foul wind<\/p>\n

But forgotten hope comes riding in, shining bright amongst darkness dim
\nAnd the sword is broken and the Ring is dropped into dust shining gold
\nIt should have ended that very day, to drop in molten rock bubbling with red
\nBut no it lived to this day, to bring little folk from out the secret place<\/p>\n

When smallest things make the change
\nFrom the dark evil looms menacing
\nBut brave hearts and shining souls
\nMake the wandering path fair<\/p>\n
