(©Osculum Infame 1996)</p>

In the malignant spirit of Sauron the Damned<br>
Were born the sabulous Rings of Power<br>
Their work of domination started when Ancient Kings,<br>
Warriors and Wizards –<br>
Perverted by glory and power<br>
Became the slave of the Lord of the Ring:<br>
Spectral were their appearances<br>
As though mere shadows in darkness…</p>

Nazgūl, damned souls of the tenebrous Lord…<br>
The Night walks with them:<br>
Death howls from their mouths<br>
Knights of Chaos, riding obscure dragons…<br>
Horrifying apparitions led by the madness<br>
Of the Prince of Barad-Dūr</p>

With a blind devotion<br>
The Army of Mordor gathered about<br>
The sinister towers of Minas Morgul<br>
A cursed fortress for the Black Ghosts;<br>
Where forbidden sorcery is practiced.<br>
The beginning of War, marching<br>
To an epic battle against golden armour:<br>
The Chronicle of the Infinite Quest</p>
