about

Of the rings forged by Sauron in Mordor, there were "Nine for the mortal men doomed to die"

lyrics

MORTAL MEN

Long the night and cold the day and hard the road we travel
Evil's hold upon the land is strong
Duty calls and on we march to join the final battle
To stand our ground, defending right from wrong

Chorus:
Some of us may be heroes, some of us may be fools
We can't know when or where or how we'll fall
We face our foes with honor, a thousand separate duels
We've heard, and we are answering the call
We are the mortal men, doomed to die
The mortal men, doomed to die


Behind us lies the land we love, our homes and precious families
Before us lies the clash of sword and shield
Our blood may run from hot to cold, but our resolve is granite
To hold our ground, and never once to yield

Chorus
 
Bridge:
What is life without Valhalla? Or Elysium, or Heaven to pursue?
The grave is dark and cold, and eternity too long
And in the end, there's nothing we can do
But to live our lives, and to fight our fights
And to love, the best way we know how ...
Will they greet us in Valinor, or send us to the Timeless Halls?
No matter -- for the time that counts is now ...
