Prologue: One Ring to Rule Them All - Howard Shore

FOOTSTEPS OF DOOM

Text from J.R.R.

TOLKIEN, adapted by PHILIPPA BOYENS, translation by DAVID SALO

(SINDARIN)

Man sí minna?

Man ammen toltha i dann hen Amarth?

I annan darthant dam morn

Si dannatha

((Who enters here?

Who brings to us this token of Doom?

That which has stood so long against the darkness

Will now fall.))

THE REVELATION OF THE RINGWRAITHS

Text by PHILIPPA BOYENS

Translation by DAVID SALO

(ADÛNAIC)

Nêbâbîtham Magânanê

Nêtabdam dâur-ad

Nêpâm nêd abârat-aglar

Îdô Nidir nênâkham

Bârî'n Katharâd

((We renounce our Maker

We cleave to the darkness

We take unto ourselves the power and glory

Behold!

We are the Nine

The Lords of Unending Life.))
