Walls of Isengard, Face the northern winds. Carved black pillars, Rising high up to the sky. Arcane relic, Crowned by the four peaks. Feels the Autumn breeze, From the fields of steeds. Orthanc, The Cunning Mind. Great Fang, Forked Height. Many nays? for this towering sight Sight as black as a night. Orthanc, The Cunning Mind. Great Fang, Forked Height. Many nays? for this towering sight Sight as black as a night. Tall, black tower, Home for the Palantiri. Lair for the crystal globe, - foresight of might. Wizard so pale and old, Guarding the elven stone. He did not realize, The shadowed gaze of lies. Armies of new orc tribe, Marching as the Uruk-hai. Created by corrupted mind, Mind of Saruman the White. The war began and he almost won, Brave horsemen of Rohan. Anger of woods he did not see, The Ents arrived, his enemy. The robe he carried, white as snow, Wasn't all the truth. The eastern sights of the Eye, Poisoned his mind. The tall tower of fair wisdom, Turned to fortress of chaos. Death and despair on the sky, Dim the sunlight. Orthanc, The Cunning Mind. Great Fang, Forked Height. Many nays? for this towering sight Sight as black as a night.
