"The Crack of Fire"

by looseleaf

performed by Gandalf The Gray in Bag End, private session for Frodo Baggins.
-------
Sauron's a guy who's mean
And he makes a fiery Ring
Bound by one desire --
but wound up in the Shire.

Cast it into The Burning Hill of Fire.
Throw it down, down, down,
deny desire,
Let it burn, burn, burn,
The Ring in fire, The Ring in fire.

The taste of power is sweet
And Men, they long for it.
They fell for it like a child
and then The Ring got wild.

It fell into a river near the Shire,
it went down, down, down,
and Gollum's it admired.
It was found, found, found
and spread desire, and spread desire.

Cast it into The Burning Hill of Fire.
Throw it down, down, down
despite desire,
Let it burn, burn, burn,
The Ring in fire, The Ring of fire.

Far from the Shire (and fade)
