This is one of my all time favorite songs about the master storyteller Tolkien’s epic Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately I could not find the acoustic version being performed by the band so I attached the Wacken festival performance from 2011. Still an excellent version but the acoustic is my favorite. Check it out.

“Lord of The Rings”

There are signs on the Ring
Which make me feel so down
There’s one to enslave all Rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they’ll be bound
Three for the Kings
Of the elves high in light
Nine to the mortals
Which cry

I’ll keep the Ring full of sorrow
I’ll keep the Ring till I die
I’ll keep the Ring full of sorrow
I’ll keep the Ring till I die

Ref.:

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

And there’s no way out

Mordor
Mordor
Mordor

Dark land under Sauron’s spell
Threatened a long time
Threatened a long time

Seven rings to the dwarfes
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley
I feel down (I feel down)
One ring to the dark lord’s hand
Sitting on his throne
In a land so dark
Where I have to go

I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
I’ll keep the Ring
Till I die

Ref. (2x):

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill

Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and I walk to the hill
