We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go to war!To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!
-- J. R. R. Tolkien |
