In The Land of Lorien
In The House of Elrond
At The Gulf of Lune
Setting of With Cirdan
Traveling With Olorin
By the speed of Shadowfax
Warring on the Dark Lord
In his seat in Mordor
Through the Mines of Moria
and the Waste of Emyn Muil
To the Cracks of Doom
with heavy burdendened Frodo
To the seat of Denethor
In the Land of Gondor
To see brave Aragorn
Justly take his power
Ash Nazg Durbatuluk No More
Ash Nazg Gimbatul No More

Fighting darkness everywhere
Making room for light
Helping people everywhere
Help the cause of right
And helping people everywhere
Find the joy they’ve longed for
by helping people everywhere
Keep that joy in sight
