The Eagles Are Coming

It seemed a wild and desp'rate cry
Not belonging to a field of battle
Where blood flows and weapons rattle
And nothing good comes from the sky

A different place and time and tale
Than yours that was about to end
Far from home in a wild and hostile land
Where evil menace makes hope turn pale

But hope was not beyond you yet
The Eagles were coming swift and true
A sign of the end the Enemy had met

Their eyes saw all that was to see
But they had not come for you
It took a Dwarf to set you free

"The Black Gate Opens"
The Return of the King
