In the halls of Rivendell, where shadows play

A gathering of wise ones, to decide the fate of the day

The burden of the Ring, a weight upon my mind

The fate of Middle-earth, in the balance, I must align

The Council of Elrond, a meeting of the wise

To discuss the peril, of the Ring's dark surprise

The Free Peoples of Middle-earth, in danger we stand

The fate of all, in the balance, of this noble land

I've walked the lands of Middle-earth, from dawn till night

I've seen the darkness gather, and the light take flight

The Ring's power is great, but its will is not my own

I'll not be swayed by its whispers, nor its treacherous throne

The Council of Elrond, a meeting of the wise

To discuss the peril, of the Ring's dark surprise

The Free Peoples of Middle-earth, in danger we stand

The fate of all, in the balance, of this noble land

I come from Gondor, where the White Tree blooms

Where the Steward's wisdom, and the armies' might assume

The Ring's power could save us, from the darkness that draws near

But at what cost, I ask, and what of our honor, dear?

The Council of Elrond, a meeting of the wise

To discuss the peril, of the Ring's dark surprise

The Free Peoples of Middle-earth, in danger we stand

The fate of all, in the balance, of this noble land

I've borne the weight of the Ring, for so long and so far

The burden of its secrets, and the danger that it scar

But I know what I must do, to save Middle-earth from its grasp

I'll take the Ring to Mordor, and cast it into the abyss at last

The Council of Elrond, a meeting of the wise

To discuss the peril, of the Ring's dark surprise

The Free Peoples of Middle-earth, in danger we stand

The fate of all, in the balance, of this noble land

The Council's decision, is made and sealed

The Fellowship of the Ring, to embark on its perilous trail

May the wisdom of the Valar, guide us on our way

And may the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, one day, be free from the Ring's sway.
