A Long-Expected Party


Keep it safe, and keep it secret!

Chapter 2

The Shadow of the Past


One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.



Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
