Текст песни: The land of shadow + перевод

There were three rings cast in the distant past for the elven kings to own

Seven more were held by the dwarves who dwell in their havens made of stone

Mortal men had nine in the grand design by the dark one in his tower

The lord of darkness, cold and heartless, with the one great ring of power

In the land of shadow, the sun never shines

In the land of shadow, the skies are not kind

But the sands of time falling through the hourglass, ran for thousands of years

Empire became ashes became dust

And the lord of evil, his reign of power past, vows he will reappear

Conquer and master he must

In the mountain gorges and the river waters, I could feel the world was changing

In the rocks and trees, and the forest breeze, a wicked force was waking

There were odd sensations and strange vibrations, my mind was filled with doubt

I saw rain-clouds storming, and anger forming in the dark skies to the south

In the land of shadow, the warning is clear

In the land of shadow, there’s much to be feared

So prepare to bow to the shadow kingdom, and kiss your freedom goodbye

Surrender to the dark power sublime

There’s no hand of mercy, no guiding wisdom, and every one must comply

It’s only a matter of time

There were three rings cast in the distant past that the elf lords still retain

Seven more were made, but they appear mislaid by the dwarves who search in vain

Mortal men had nine till their fate was signed by the dark one in his tower

My lord and master who hungers after the one great ring of power

In the land of shadow, one ring decides

In the land of shadow, who will preside

In the land of shadow, there’s nowhere to hide

In the land of shadow, your freedom denied
