The Doom Of Man

byMagnetron©

Listen, in the distance

Doooooom

Again, there it is

Dooom dooom

Sounding of the war drums

Doooooom

Movement on the horizon

Dooom dooom

Wait

Stand your ground

The final hour is drawing near

Doom doom doom doom

Hear the drums beat
Ground shaking beneath your feet
As if the very earth is coming alive
With a pulse of ten-thousand strong
Marching swiftly along
Without break in their rhythm
Or mistep in their stride

Fueled by hatred
From an insanity crossbred
Tormented existence, wretched, despised
Whips lashed against their backs
Hills blemished with rank and file tracks
As they continue pressing onward
In the chill of the night

Cold rain
Begins it's steady fall
As their front lines come to a halt
Beyond the great stone wall
And now the hour is here
To succumb to everything you fear
No choice but to make a final stand
Death has come for one and all

Together,
Elf and Man
Embrace the horror at hand
Fighting side by side
A testament to these dark times
As volley after volley
Of flaming catapult shot
Shatters, collapses towers
Upon bodies left to rot
Battlements overthrown
The fires raging hot
And on through the maelstrom
Beat the war drums

Doooooom

Dooom dooom

Doooooom

Dooom dooom

Retreat

The wall is breached

All the while the White Wizard laughs

Doom doom doom doom

As the Age of Men
Begins to come crashing down
In a miserable pathetic end
With nowhere to hide
The time has come now
For the Orc and Machine
Smashing the once legendary refuge
Into the mountainside
Fire undoing stone
Helms Deep has become overthrown
And on through the maelstrom
Beat the war drums

Doooooom

Dooom dooom

Doooooom

Dooom dooom

Doom
