Isengard Unleashed
Howard Shore ft. Elizabeth Fraser & Ben Del Maestro Lyrics

The lyrics of Isengard Unleashed are in the Elvish language of Sindarin and they describe the unleashing of the power of Isengard, the tower of the wizard Saruman, upon the world. The first verse, "rithannen i geven thangen i harn na fennas i daur" translates to "ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul," which is a fragment of a different Elvish language, the Black Speech of Mordor, and it means "one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

The second verse, "ôl dûr ristannen Eryn echuiannen i ngelaidh dagrar ristar thynd, cúa tawar Dambedir enyd i ganed Si linna i waew trin ylf Iso i dur i chuiyl i ngelaidh dagrar" refers to the destruction caused by Isengard's power, which has turned the trees into ash and the land into a barren wasteland. The final line, "i ngelaidh dagrar," means "the world is trembling."

Overall, the song is a haunting and foreboding depiction of the power of evil, and the destruction it can wreak on the world.
