Versuri The Return of the King (OST) – Frodo of the Nine Fingers and the Ring of Doom lyrics

[Minstrel:]
Frodo of the Nine Fingers
And the Ring of Doom.

It has its beginning, two ages past, when Bilbo set out to reclaim the Dwarves’ Gold from the dragon Smaug.
And, while on his quest, Bilbo stumbled into a deep, dank cave.

When Bilbo found that shiny ring
In Gollum’s cave of gloom.
He never thought that it would turn
Into a Ring of Doom.
The dragon Smaug, the Spiders,
The Goblins, the Elven King;
They came to know the power of
The Hobbit and his Ring.

Frodo of the Nine Fingers
And the Ring of Doom.
It started with a Hobbit
In Gollum’s cave of gloom.

The power of the Ring, it grew.
And Gandalf sat in thought.
He knew that it must be destroyed
In fired where it was wrought.
For if in evil hands it fell,
The Earth would know its end.
No force of arms would win the day,
No armie could contend.

Frodo of the Nine Fingers
And the Ring of Doom
Accepted a heavy burden
For the fires to consume.

Frodo of the Nine Fingers
And the Ring of Doom.
Why does he have nine fingers?
Where is the Ring of Doom?
