(Lyrics by Heino Brand with additions by Caleb Bingham)

Shadow riders survey the land
With eyes aflame their souls are damned
Mighty men the kings of old
Hollow husks now cling to the cold

Empty promises - cost their lives
Broken dreams - no hope survives
Lasting darkness - the final decree
Wraith dominion - none are free

Swearing oaths with swords in hand
Living ghosts now stalk the land
Answering Lord Sauron’s call
For the Ring mankind shall fall

(None can resist
There’s nowhere to run
The all-seeing eye eclipses the sun
The names may be different the battle’s the same
The whole of the world will perish in flames)

Darkspeed with the wind at their backs
They ride shrouded in black
The call of the Ring was heard
Day and night they continue to search

No more - their kingdoms stand
Names lost - to the passing of time
Faceless - and shadow-cloaked
The Nine - which man can’t kill
Alive - yet dead as well
Riding - on steeds from hell
Servants - of the flaming eye
The Nine - that cannot die

(Solo - Jori Haukio)

Swearing oaths with swords in hand
Living ghosts now stalk the land
Answering Lord Sauron’s call
For the Ring mankind shall fall

Wraith dominion - None are free
Sauron reigns eternally

Mankind shall fall
