(Lyrics by Caleb Bingham)

Upon the plains of Dagorlad
There lies a most precarious path
Legends speak of battles old
Where thousands drowned in waters cold

(Beware) - Remain on the land
(Despair) - Defeat is at hand
(Somewhere) - Between life and death
(No air) - You’re struggling for breath

You will meet a most peaceful end
Into the waters you’ll descend
Never breaching the Morannon gate
Within the Dead Marshes you will meet your fate

A star-like glow in the misty dew
Countless hands reach out for you
Beckoning you to join their ranks
Deep in the mire into which they sank

(Beware) - Remain on the land
(Despair) - Defeat is at hand
(Somewhere) - Between life and death
(No air) - You’re struggling for breath

You will meet a most peaceful end
Into the waters you’ll descend
Never breaching the Morannon gate
Within the Dead Marshes you will meet your fate

Nightmarish dreams in the treacherous bog
Thousands of screams echo in the fog
The black gate in the distance looms
The dead are laughing in their watery tombs

(Solo - Heino Brand)

(Beware) - Remain on the land
(Despair) - Defeat is at hand
(Somewhere) - Between life and death
(No air) - You’re struggling for breath

You will meet a most peaceful end
Into the waters you’ll descend
Never breaching the Morannon gate
Within the Dead Marshes you will meet your fate

Nightmarish dreams in the treacherous bog
Thousands of screams echo in the fog
The black gate in the distance looms
And now you’re laughing in your watery tomb
