"When Bilbo found that shiny ring
:05:07
"In Gollum's cave of gloom
:05:11
"He never thought
:05:13
"That it would turn into a ring of doom
:05:19
"The dragon Smaug
The spiders too
:05:23
"The Goblins, the Elven-king
:05:27
"They came to know the power
:05:30
"Of the Hobbit and his ring
:05:43
"Frodo of the nine fingers
:05:48
"And the Ring of Doom
:05:51
"It started with a Hobbit
:05:55
"In Gollum's cave of gloom
:06:01
"The power of the Ring, it grew
:06:05
"And Gandalf sat in thought
:06:09
"He knew that it must be destroyed
:06:13
"In fires where it was wrought
:06:17
"For if in evil hands it fell
:06:21
"The Earth would know its end
:06:25
"No force of arms would win the day
:06:29
"No army could contend"
:06:37
For evil flourished everywhere...
:06:41
...and lay on the land
like a festering malignancy.
:06:44
There was one hope, though:
:06:47
In a distant land, the noble Aragorn...
:06:49
...heir to the empty throne of Gondor...
:06:52
...awaited with a small band
to return and become king.
:06:57
But he could not triumph
until the Ring was destroyed.
