    Here is our version of J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "One Ring to Rule Them All!" We hope you enjoy it:)
    Album Art: Our original work
    A note on our interpretation:
    The One Ring is the symbol of all evil. But there are so many forms that evil can take and so it was our challenge and adventure to try and give musical form to this all encompassing evil, (while still remembering that good will always triumph over any evil).
    The song begins with the legend of the forging of the rings, and our goal was to paint each of the races a little differently, including a literal interpretation of having 3, 7, 9, and 1 voices to speak for each of the rings. Then the song depicts the forging of the One Ring whilst Sauron speaks in the Black speech. The “One Ring theme” enters in, bare and minimal since no one yet knows the impact or power of this evil. The song returns to the original themes as a last glance before the one ring theme returns to overshadow them all. One by one, the themes are pulled into the vicious “ring cycle” as the music circles around, growing darker and more intense.
    Evil is often at first attractive (i.e. the ring), and a person who is enslaved by a bad habit/sin (e.g. Smeagol, Isildur, etc.) often does not realize their peril until they are already caught up in the vicious cycle of evil, which in the end, leaves them empty and possessed of nothing. These are the sentiments that color the “ring cycle” of the latter part of the song.
    We hope that you enjoy this song!
    We are unable to get permission to sell this song so we are posting it here free for your enjoyment. If you want a copy of the mp3, we are offering it to those who support us on Patreon!
    My brother composed and arranged the piece. My family sang it.
    Please no bad language in the comments. We want this to be family friendly:)
    Lyrics:
    Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
    Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
    Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
    One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
    One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

    I just heard and amazing part, the overlay on "Nine for mortal men doomed to die" links up with "To Find Them", making the line "Nine for mortal men, doomed to find them" which is really cool because the Nazgul are always searching for the Rings, and they cannot be truly killed, so they are "Doomed to find them".

    The presence of Black Speech in this was a nice touch. Reminded me of a fun fact about the Speech. In all words for Sauron's self-made tongue, the letter "E" is left out and is ignored. The reason? To pronounce "E," your mouth curves upward as if smiling and Sauron doesn't strike me as a smiler at all

    It all began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern over each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all. One by one, the free peoples of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the very slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth. Victory was near, but the power of the ring could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword. And Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the ring of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur, to his death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, the ring ensnared a new bearer. The ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels under the Misty Mountains, and there it consumed him. The ring gave to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind; and in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But then something happened that the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, of the Shire. For the time will soon come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all...

    "Cold be hand and heart and bone,
    and cold be sleep under stone:
    never more to wake on stony bed,
    never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
    In the black wind the stars shall die,
    and still on gold here let them lie,
    till the dark lord lifts his hand
    over dead sea and withered land."

    This doesn’t sound grim, ominous, or evil - it sounds beautiful, like the Ring.
    Is it significant that the Ring is called “the One”, just like Eru, “the One” ? Maybe this means that Sauron, who rejected Eru, is now dependent on a ring that is his own craftsmanship. Quite a come-down.

    These Lyrics From the Silmarillion PLEASE!
    He chanted a song of wizardry,
    Of piercing, opening, of treachery,
    Revealing, uncovering, betraying.
    Then sudden Felagund there swaying
    sang in answer a song of staying,
    Resisting, battling against power,
    Of secrets kept, strength like a tower,
    And trust unbroken, freedom, escape;
    Of changing and of shifting shape,
    Of snares eluded, broken traps,
    The prison opening, the chain that snaps,
    Backwards and forwards swayed their song.
    Reeling and foundering, as ever more strong
    The chanting swelled, Felagund fought,
    And all the magic and might he brought,
    Of Elvenesse into his words.
    Softly in the gloom they heard the birds
    Singing afar in Nargothrond,
    The sighing of the sea beyond,
    Beyond the western world, on sand,
    On sand of pearls in Elvenland.
    Then the gloom gathered; darkness growing
    In Valinor, the red blood flowing
    Beside the sea, where the Noldor slew
    The Foamriders, and stealing drew
    Their white ships with their white sails
    From lamplit havens. The wind wails,
    The wolf howls. The ravens flee.
    The ice mutters in the mouths of the sea.
    The captives sad in Angband mourn,
    Thunder rumbles, the fires burn-
    And Finrod fell before the throne.

    The wavering high and low of the 9 doomed men.
    And the almost mournful and ominous tone for the Dark Lord on his dark throne.
    The low and echoing Black Speech was perfectly menacing.
    And that final hissing whisper of the last line, “In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie”.
