These lyrics are an excerpt from the source text “For Frodo”, sometimes known as the sung Fellowship Theme, although only the beginning of this section uses the Fellowship melody. It’s heard just after Aragorn says, “For Frodo” and continues over action at the Black Gate and on the side of the mountain until the Nazgul show up.
It is sung by The London Voices and entirely recites:
Ae na guil nín egor na ngurth nín
Gerin le beriad
Le beriathon
Le annon vegil nín
Cyll e-Gorv
Le annon beth nín
Ú-erir aen han risto
Ú-erir aen han presto
Rúvo i rym
I aur hen ú bant!
Isto Mordor han:
Elessar! Elessar!
Tellin i Chîr Gondor!
That is in sindarin:
If by my life or death
I can protect you
I will
I give you my sword
Ringbearer
I give you my word
It cannot be broken
Nor turned aside
Let the horns sound
This day is not done!
Let Mordor know this:
Elessar! Elessar!
The Lords of Gondor have come!
In “Mount Doom”, ROTK, Book 6, Chapter 3, on the way to the Black Gate is said:
Then Aragorn set trumpeters at each of the four roads that ran into the ring of trees, and they blew a great fanfare, and the heralds cried aloud:
The Lords of Gondor have returned and all this land that is theirs they take back.
