In the malignant spirit of Sauron the Damned
Where born the fabulous Rings of Power
Their work of domination started with
Ancient Kings,
Warriors and Wizards -
Perverted by glory and power
Became the slave of the Lord of the Ring:
Spectral were
their appearances
As though mere shadows in darkness...
Nazgl, damned souls of the
tenebrous Lord...
The Night walks with them:
Death howls from their mouths
Knights of Chaos, riding obscure
Dragons...
Horrifying apparitions led by the madness
Of the Prince of barad-Dr
With a
blind devotion
The Army of Mordor gathered about
The sinister towers of Minas Morgul
A cursed fortress for the Black
Ghosts;
Where forbidden sorcery is practiced.
The beginning of War, marching
To an epic battle against golden armour:
The
Chronicle of the Infinite Quest
