Swearing the Oath they paid the price,
And toiled across the Grinding Ice,
To fall in battle in the Middle-land,
The legacy of death from Feanor's Hand.
The Mouse's answer.
***
He arose in Might to rule the world,
And on the field his banner unfurled,
Brought pain and death to those it found,
He made the North their burial mound.
He spawned the wars which shaped the land,
His orcs as countless grains of sand,
But now he troubles the land no more,
We still remember the long bitter war.
Those of us who remain removed, apart,
We long for the Havens, and to depart.
The Mouse's answer.
***
Glowing silver, glowing gold,
Their tale of Ages has been told,
Their strength was taken, their life was drained,
And around their hill, the grass was stained.
But still they shine it has been said,
When Arien and Tilion fly over head.
The
Mouse's answer.
***
He brought them gifts, he brought them lore,
And from his plans had death in store,
And though they learned his secret desire,
Their land of Eregion still felt his fire.
The Mouse's answer.
***
Bringer of death and consumer of Light,
The hand of Beren he did bite,
The jewel it burned his innards deep,
Until he slept the long dark sleep.
The Mouse's answer.
***
Devourer of Light, and drainer of Wells,
She fed on the sap and now she swells,
Her evil great, her hunger eternal,
Her corruption complete, her deeds infernal.
The Mouse's answer.
***
His Iron Crown, his realm of pain,
His hammer Grond, Fingolfin's bane,
His prison of terror his stronghold of might,
His minions stalking the endless night.
The Mouse's answer.
