Snow And Defeat

We must reach Lothlorien and find help of the lady fair
Where the golden trees grow tall, in need we now shall dare
And I know the mountain well, yes, the peril is so enormous
But the way of Moria, I will never suggest
Through Redhorn Gate we are to pass
Long is the journey and dangers are great
Fast we must be along this path
If we take long then it could be too late!
Caradhras Peak - Cruel is your fame
Caradhras Peak - Oh legend's name
Be an open gate for us, now the winter's close behind
Caradhras Peak - Give us a chance
Caradhras Peak - We face you hence
We don't know if Rohan serve, any master foul or fair...
Follow me over the mountain - it's safer
For many are the watchers indeed
Don't lit such fire any foe might see us
Until it is fire or death
But the wind came and snow fell and the storm
Bought the chill to our limbs and with rage
Flailed and flailed and flailed and flailed
And flailed so strong in the dark...
We heard evil voices laughing
Spells in the wind awaking
The terrible power of snow
Falling down at Redhorn Gate
When rage of the mountain was worst
The chill of the storm assailed us
When under the sky all was black
Winds of doom Caradhras blow
We must reach Lothlorien and find help of the lady fair
Where the golden trees grow tall, in need we now shall dare
And I know the mountain well, yes, the peril is so enormous
But the way of Moria, I will never suggest
The evil winds won't let us pass
Over the mountain through the Redhorn Gate
Soon we'll be death under the snow
We must lit fire before it's too late!
Caradhras Peak - Cruel is your fame
Caradhras Peak - Oh legend's name
Shall you be a bed for us, white and cold for evermore?
Caradhras Peak - Give us a chance
Caradhras Peak - We face you hence
Shall the fire we now lit, bring the eyes that carry death?
From Rivendell to Rohan - everywhere -
I have written, "Gandalf is here"
I've lit such fire every foe have seen us
So we can't stay here anymore
As we went back in defeat the snow ceased
To fall and the terrible storm
Flailed and flailed and flailed and flailed
And flailed no more in the dark...
We heard evil voices laughing
Spells in the wind awaking
The terrible power of snow
Falling down at Redhorn Gate
When rage of the mountain was worst
The chill of the storm assailed us
When under the sky all was black
Winds of doom Caradhras blew
