(©Rusty Reid 2000)</p>

We left our home far behind us.<br>
We are alone... all of us.<br>
The adventure of the ages<br>
draws us onward through the dust.<br>
We are afraid, we are weary.<br>
We have lost the trail of light.<br>
As the darkness folds around us,<br>
we dance with doubt throughout the night...</p>

But the sun will rise again.<br>
For at this journey's end<br>
we'll pierce the mist and gloom<br>
and face at last...the Cracks of Doom.</p>

We have come through the valley.<br>
We have run through the trees.<br>
But a shadow is among us,<br>
and it knows our every need.<br>
The way ahead is filled with danger.<br>
If we knew our final fate<br>
would we abandon these pretensions<br>
to pass through Mordor's gate.</p>

We don't know the true strength of our hearts.<br>
But faithless are they who would turn away in the dark.<br>
The end is near, for good or ill it will bring the close to our quest,<br>
the ultimate test of the Ring.</p>

Aurė entuluva! (Day will come again!)</p>
