The Final Battle
Barroquejon Lyrics

We heard the horns in the hills ringing
The sound of war is upon us, as the horns signal the beginning of conflict

The swords shinning in the South Kingdom
The armies of Gondor are preparing for battle, with their swords gleaming in the sunlight

Steeds went striding to the Stoninland
The horses of Rohan are marching towards the battlefield with great purpose

As winds in the morning
The armies move forward with great speed and energy, like the winds at the break of dawn

Long now they sleep
The soldiers who have fallen in previous battles now rest eternally

Under Gondor´s greenful grass
Their burial place is the lush and vibrant countryside of Gondor

They left in kindled war
Their lives were lost in the fire of battle

Towards the Great Eye of Mordor
They fought valiantly against the evil forces of Sauron, who had his watchful eye upon them

Grey now as tears gleaming silver
The survivors of the battle weep for their fallen comrades, with tears that glisten like silver in the fading light

We cry for the renowned or nameless
They grieve both for the heroes who have died, as well as those who fought bravely but will be forgotten by history

At sunset foam dyed with blood flamed
The battlefield is stained red with the blood of the fallen in the dying light of the sun

Red fell the dew in Rammas Echor
Even in the early morning, there is blood to be found on the grassy fields near the city of Gondor

In the outskirts, near Minas Tirith
The battle takes place on the outskirts of the city, near the towering fortress of Minas Tirith

The strikers prepare up for departure
The strike force is getting ready to depart, armed and ready for the final confrontation

Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn and Gandalf,
The four great warriors of Middle-earth are joining the battle: Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn, and Gandalf

The brave sons of Elrond and Dúnedain...
They are joined by the brave sons of Elrond and Dúnedain, fierce fighters and loyal allies

...They ride by the valley of the Anduin
Their path takes them through the winding valley of the Anduin river

Passing Osgiliath after green Ithilien
They pass the ruined city of Osgiliath and the lush forests of Ithilien

Until reaching the Black Door
Their destination is the imposing Black Door that leads into the heart of Mordor

Hoping that the Bearer and Sam
They hope that Frodo, the Ring-bearer, and his loyal companion Sam have completed their mission and destroyed the Ring

Fulfil the Mission
Their hope is that Frodo has succeeded in destroying the One Ring, bringing an end to Sauron's reign of terror

The Éphel Duath at the front now they are
The armies of Mordor are now visible on the Ephel Duath, a range of mountains that separates Mordor from the rest of Middle-earth

In the Crossroads they deliberate
The heroes pause at a crossroads to consider their next move

To Minas Morgul or to Morannon?
They must choose between two paths: one that leads to the city of Minas Morgul, and another that leads to the gates of Morannon

Gandalf firmly advised
Gandalf is adamant that they choose the path that leads to the Black Door of Morannon

Next to the third day from the departure
Three days after setting out, they are getting closer to their destination

A hundred miles separates from the Shadow
They are now only 100 miles away from the heart of Mordor, the Shadow in the east

Save forever King Elessar
Their goal is to defeat Sauron and save the kingdom of Gondor, under the leadership of the rightful king, Aragorn (Elessar)

Three times at the day they shout
They cry out three times each day, hoping to give Frodo and Sam courage and hope even from a distance

The long march continued, Nâzgul following
The armies of Mordor continue to follow them, with the terrifying Nazgul leading the charge

At the sixth day from leaving Minas Tirith
Six days have passed since they left Minas Tirith, and the battle draws near

Before Kirith Gorgor
They are now standing before the Black Gate, Kirith Gorgor, where they will face the might of Mordor

The forces are diminished by horror!
The armies of Gondor and Rohan are struck with fear as they face the full might of Sauron's army

At the morning they get prepared
The final preparations are made as the morning of the final battle dawns

(Gandalf:) "Show yourself Dark Lord of Mordor!!!"
Gandalf challenges Sauron to face them in battle, calling him out as the Dark Lord of Mordor

The door's fold loud roared
The Black Gate opens with a deafening roar, as the armies of evil pour out onto the battlefield

Before the Black Liutenant
They are confronted by a powerful lieutenant of Sauron's army, draped in a black cloak

The Emissary of Barad-dûr
The emissary of Sauron arrives, sent from the dark tower of Barad-dûr

Shows up the elfic grey cape
The emissary is wearing a grey elven cloak, a sign of their corruption and alliance with the enemy

It was from Frodo
They are shocked to see that the emissary is holding Frodo's elven cloak, meaning that he has been captured by the enemy

The horror surrounds now to all
The realization that Frodo has been captured fills them with a sense of despair and horror

Gandalf takes it from him
Gandalf snatches the cloak away from the emissary, determined to rescue Frodo and continue the fight

Any covenant is denied!
They refuse to be swayed by any offer of compromise or truce from their enemy

The total ruin embraced to all
As the battle rages on, they are surrounded by desolation and destruction

Frodo and Sam were now captured
Their worst fears are confirmed, as both Frodo and Sam have been taken prisoner by the enemy

At that dark moment one worse came
As if things could not get any worse, a new threat emerges on the battlefield

Orquish helmets sounded everywhere!
The sound of orcish helmets echoes across the battlefield, heralding the arrival of more enemy troops

Mordor followers!
The armies of Mordor renew their attack with even greater ferocity

Started their announce!
The enemy announces their presence, as they fight with a renewed sense of purpose

From the Elrod Lithui
A troop of orcs pours forth from the entrance to the dark tower, Elrod Lithui

The troops were lowered
The armies of Mordor descend upon their enemies, determined to crush them once and for all

Nâzgul watching out, darkening the light
The Nazgul continue to captivate and terrify their foes, plunging the battlefield into darkness

In an infected mist the Faith...
The mist that shrouds the battlefield seems to infect their spirits and sap their resolve

...went away!!!
Their faith and courage dissipates, leaving them alone and vulnerable on the battlefield

A stormful proclaim emerged from incoming Trolls
The trolls, huge and lumbering, make their way towards the battlefield, ready to wreak havoc

The blood ran through the Morannon field
The field is awash in blood, as the two sides engage in mortal combat

Pippin managed revenge for Beregond...!
Pippin manages to exact revenge on behalf of his fallen comrade, Beregond

...Killing the Great Lord Troll!
Pippin kills the most powerful of the enemy trolls, bringing hope to his comrades on the battlefield

Arranging himself to DIE!
Pippin is prepared to give his life for the sake of his friends and allies

A signal comes, arrives from the upper skies:
A sign from the heavens appears, offering them a glimmer of hope in the midst of the chaos and despair

Gwaihir the Eagle aids but the Destiny wants more!
The giant eagle, Gwaihir, arrives to lend his aid, but they know that destiny demands more of them yet

The Ring faces the Orodruin in flames!!!
The One Ring is finally destroyed, throwing the armies of Mordor into chaos as the volcano Orodruin erupts in flames
