You gaze around at the lyrics carved into the bar - some amusing, some stirring, some ribald. Here and there are more recent carvings, left by fellow adventurers like yourself, who have decided to leave their mark on the forbidding place that was once Angmar's stronhold in the Misty Mountains.
You cannot read all of the carvings, as some have been obscured by burns, or axe marks on the bar. However, you are able to read the following:
All hail Sauron!
(Anonymous)
Welcome ye to the gates of Mordor,
Where shadows lie!
A land where those of darkness reign,
And valiant soldiers die.
Many a tale is told of this realm,
Where poison waters flow on and on.
The haven of the necromancer king,
All hail Sauron!
Let all ye men of Glittergiest,
And Gondor too,
All the folks of Rivendell,
And across the ocean blue,
Come hither to the gates of Mordor.
All hail Sauron!
The Veteran's Rhyme
(Anonymous)
Of all ye merry men, none may know,
Of the dreary battles in fires glow.
The blood of virtuous men, and those as black as night,
Mingled together after one disastrous fight.
POWER!
(Anonymous)
Ithil, descending the western skies
glows heavy and golden and then she dies
and then the gloom
follows her doom.
The starlight is smothered by a tent of black night,
no defiance avails.
From Ephel Duath's slopes
we bring death to their hopes!
His power prevails!
Soldiers of doom, witness His might!
An omen of doom was the last sunset's flame
on the Tower of the Guard, such a pitiful name:
No guard will persist
The stroke of His fist.
Flames shall leap high from those ancient walls,
defiance shall die!
Cursed Eldar-realms
shall echo with screams!
And the Nazgul's cry
Shall hail His might as the last elf falls!
His power prevails!
Angmar Forever
(Soldier Soote)
D
o you still remember how we used to be,
Teaming together, believe in whatever Dark One had said to me,
All of us were warriors, Young pulpers in the sun,
Felt like my Saviour, my spirit I gave you, We'd only just begun
Army Of Angmar, Always be mine
Angmar Forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the Dark One.
Yes I still remember every whispered word,
The smell of the skin giving life from within like a war song that I'd heard
Blood Slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time,
Promises made, every memory saved as reflections in my mind
Army Of Angmar, Always be mine
Angmar forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the Dark one
But we're all alone now, was it just a dream,
Feelings untold, they will never be sold,
and the secret's safe with me
Army Of Angmar, Always be mine
Angmar forever (Angmar forever),
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting),
Everlasting (Everlasting) like the sun (Like the sun),
Live forever (Live forever), for the moment (for the moment),
Ever searching (Ever searching) for the Dark one (for the Dark one),
Angmar forever (Angmar forever),
I'll be waiting,
Everlasting like the sun,
Angmar forever (Angmar forever), for the moment,
Ever searching for the one,
Angmar forever (Angmar forever),
I'll be waiting ,
Everlasting like the sun,
Angmar forever (Angmar forever), for the moment,
Ever searching for the one (for the one)
Angmar forever, I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting),
Everlasting like the sun,
Live forever (Live forever), for the moment,
Ever searching for the Dark one.
The Ballad of Blake
(Anonymous)
I hear stories from the chamber,
Blake led his party into danger
and like some pathetic stranger
died fleeing from his foe.
And might I say,
It seems so fitting in its way;
He was a coward by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told.
In Dwimordene, in Lorien
(Soldier Jarod)
In Dwimordene, in Lorien
Seldom have walked the feet of Men.
Angmar war party rides undisturbed,
Leaving just ashes, corpses and blood.
They brought to Lorien death, night and pain,
All who oppose Him shall soon be slain.
Master of All they boldly hail,
Slaughtered Elves in horror wail.
High is the King that rules the East,
He'll crush his foes with iron fist!
Nenya is broken, One Ring prevailed,
All who challenged Him gruesomely failed,
Lord of the Nine will rule this land,
Many have fallen from Angmar's hand
In Dwimordene, in Lorien
Where seldom walked the feet of Men.
By the Sign of the Hammer
(Soldier Manowar)
The spell has been broken, the curse has been lifted,
Black is the wind on the heels of the gifted.
Forsworn to vengeance, see the hate in our eyes,
Called by the Dark Lord and given the sign.
Onward pounding into glory ride,
Sign of the hammer, be our guide.
Let this serve as warning to all to stand aside,
By the sign of the hammer, now is the time!
Destroying and pillaging, we are back from the dead,
Those who denied us shall be delivered instead,
Into the hands of those sworn to ride.
The Army shall triumph, and live by the sign.
Onward pounding into glory ride,
Sign of the hammer, be our guide.
Fair warning to all to stand aside,
By the sign of the hammer, now is our time!
The spell has been broken, the curse has been lifted,
Black is the wind on the heels of the gifted.
Forsworn to vengeance, see the hate in our eyes,
Called by the Dark Lord and given the sign.
Onward pounding into glory ride,
Sign of the hammer, be our guide!
Final warning to all to stand aside,
Old men and young boys, it's our time...
Sign of the hammer, be our guide,
Sign of the hammer, now is the Dark Lord's time!
The Army Comes
(Soldier Tubs)
Under our hammers rohirrim fall,
in Dwarven hold and Dunedain hall.
The grey one winces, the ranger pales,
when our Army marches on Elven dales.
Our warriors summon ancient might
Our enemies flee from fires bright.
The Nazgul command sorceries strong
Let all West flee our fearsome throng!
Amongst our allies Balrogs stand,
the Oliphaunts tread, the Uruks grand.
Our armies troll, orc, man and beast
upon our enemies fall and feast.
The sky grows dark, the time draws near,
Our enemies dreams are dreams of fear,
The Army's hand is cruel and strong
Let all West flee our fearsome throng!
(Manowar)
Hear what's written on the wind.
We come to kill and kill again.
Our arrows fall like hail
Trample on the dead. - Ride through the
Gate of clouds - stand on the open step.
Run berserk - spreading fear and pain.
Black shield and weapons, black our chain.
None can harm us - not their fire -
Iron or steel - for we have the
Will to power - with power we will
Kill.
Kill with power - die die
Kill with power - die die
To the war god Odin you will pray.
And the curse of weapons shall
Remain. On the blood of all our
Fathers - on their weapons we now
Swear to avenge - not lament.
Give the False ones death.
Death to light, to law, to love!
Cursed be moon and stars above!
May darkness everlasting old
that waits outside in surges cold
drown Manwë, Varda, and the sun!
May all in hatred be begun,
and all in evil ended be
in the moaning of the endless Sea!
Later adventurers have defiled this song, replacing it with the lyrics:
Death to Army, club and shield!
Wandering Angmar in the field
Picking pockets, breaking legs,
Stealing chickens, sucking eggs...
Can't Melkor give them more to do?
We tire of Angmar passing through
and tipping cattle 'cuz they're bored.
Death to that mindless, moaning hoarde!
Having read the chants and lyrics carved into the bar top, you can return to the pub if you wish.
Alternatively, if you know where you wish to head within the halls, you may consult your site map to take you straight there.
