Continuing from my last post...
I had a sudden burst of inspiration. Thanks to Hawk for supplying the chorus for "Pilgrim Wizard," which helped me to crack the filk. ;)
Onward!
13. PILGRIM WIZARD
(Outside Moria. The Fellowship, running, exhausted, and griefstricken, pauses to make sense of their situation.)
FRODO:
Ever since we took this journey,
Old Gandalf's been our guide.
From Rivendell through Moria,
We've travelled by his side,
And ever since we lost him
My mind's been in a fog
The dwarf-lords of Moria
Woke up a mean Balrog!
GIMLI:
Through the delvings of my kinsmen
He led us swift and true
When courage seemed to falter
He always brought us through
LEGOLAS:
He faced the ancient evil
Of fire and of smog
The dwarf-lords of Moria
Woke up a mean Balrog!
FELLOWSHIP:
He's the pilgrim wizard
It cannot be the end!
The pilgrim wizard --
We've lost our wisest friend!
PIPPIN (MERRY):
What do you think we'll do now? (I don't know!)
ARAGORN:
I must lead us now.
BOROMIR:
Just give them one brief moment
To weep about our grief!
ARAGORN:
The orcs will come by nightfall
And we'll find no relief
Although our hearts are breaking,
Onward we must slog --
The dwarf-lords of Moria
Woke up a mean Balrog!
FRODO:
He stood there fast
With Glamdring in his hand --
But now he's gone, and I don't understand...
SAM:
I never thought I'd see it
If I lived a thousand years
ARAGORN:
We may live to avenge him
But now's no time for tears
FRODO:
Without him here to guide us
I'm standing here agog
The dwarf-lords of Moria
Woke up a mean Balrog!
14. THERE'S A LADY
ARAGORN:
In the Golden Wood
The land is blest.
There's a Lady I know
Can bring us rest;
A Lady I know
Can bring us rest!
In Lothlorien
She will mend our sorrow;
My heart is glad
We'll see her tomorrow!
We'll see her tomorrow!
15. GOING TO MORDOR
FRODO:
The Lady said the Ring would bring temptation,
That in the end, we one by one would fall,
Then Boromir gave in to his frustration
And finally he answered to its call:
VOICE OF THE RING:
Take me, bear me, use me, wear me...
Take me, bear me, use me, wear me...
SAM:
I know the road is long but I can't leave him,
All hope lies with him and none with me.
It breaks my heart to think how it must grieve him --
There is something going on that I can't see.
VOICE OF THE RING:
Take me, bear me, use me, wear me...
Take me, bear me, use me, wear me...
SAM:
And now we've found that nasty creature Gollum
All the time he sneaks and slinks around
FRODO:
And yet I think that in the end we'll need him
If the way to Mordor can be found
FRODO AND SAM:
Going to Mordor, now...
Going to Mordor, now...
FRODO:
I wonder now if I could become him
If Smeagol still is here or if he's dead
I know the Ring took his reason from him
What is happening in his head?
GOLLUM (to the Ring):
Listening to you I hear you call me
FRODO (to the Ring):
Gazing at you I get the heat
GOLLUM (to Frodo):
Following you I made a promise
FRODO (to Gollum):
I see my doom in your defeat
(to the Ring)
Carrying you I feel the burden
GOLLUM (to the Ring):
In you I see the splendor
FRODO:
From you I get the rapture
GOLLUM:
To you I will surrender
SAM:
What is happening in his head?
Ooooooh, I wish I knew --
I wish I knew!
16. MASTER, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
SAM:
Master, can you hear me?
Can you feel me near you?
Master, do you know me?
Can I help to cheer you?
Oooh, Master...Frodo...Master...Frodo...
GOLLUM:
Precious, I can hear you!
I can feel you near me!
Precious, though I fear you
Can you help to cheer me?
Oooh, Precious, Precious, Precious, Precious...
SAM (GOLLUM):
Master, can you hear me? (Precious, I can hear you!)
Can you feel me near you? (I can feel you near me!)
Master, do you know me? (Precious, though I fear you)
Can I help to cheer you? (Can you help to cheer me?)
Oooh, Master...Frodo...Master...Frodo... (Oooh, Precious, Precious, Precious, Precious...)
VOICE OF THE RING (overlapping):
Frodo, Frodo, Frodo, Frodo, Frodo, Frodo...
17. SHELOB'S LAIR (GO TO MORDOR)
SAM (to Frodo):
You don't answer my call with even a nod or a wink
But you lie like you're made of stone now
You don't seem to see me and I fear that you never will
Don't leave me here alone now!
Can I take it -- how can I go on?
I can't make it
Knowing that my master's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...
Do I end it here or
Do I go to Mordor?
Do I end it here or
Do I go to Mordor?
Onward!
