I was born among rolling meadows,<br>
Hole in the ground in the peaceful Shire.<br>
Now I walk through a land of shadows,<br>
Taking the Ring to the Fire:</p>

I see the Mountain; the Mountain calls to me.<br>
I see the Mountain, and that is all I see.</p>

Some poor creature comes, some show mercy,<br>
Some make him promise with words that kill.<br>
One may love me, the other curse me,<br>
But all of us are walking uphill...</p>

Up to the Mountain; the Mountain calls to me.<br>
I see the Mountain, and that is all I see.</p>

One to rule me, and One to find me,<br>
Where in the world can I hope to hide?<br>
I'm so small that you might not mind me,<br>
Until I am standing inside...</p>

Inside the Mountain; the Mountain calls to me.<br>
I see the Mountain, and that is all I see.</p>

Eye to eye for one awful moment,<br>
Here in Mordor where shadows fall.<br>
Now I know, and I've always known it:<br>
The Ring will be mine after all!</p>

Ash nazg durbatulūk<br>
Ash nazg gimbatul<br>
Ash nazg thrakatulūk<br>
Agh burzum-ishi krimpatul</p>

But I see the Mountain; the Mountain calls to me.<br>
I see the Mountain, and that is all I see.</p>
