Y'all glad to be in Beleriand?  I know I am...
Ow!
Magic mazes, all around, just try to get anywhere
'Cause the Enchanted Girdle's what surrounds all of my great land
Traps 'em like quicksand

My brother lives out West, past Eressea
When Finrod is my guest, I don't let him speak Quenya!
Hey!

CHORUS:
Living in Beleriand - I'm the lord of all the Sindar
Living in Beleriand - Even though I'm king of Umanyar
Living in Beleriand - I'm one of the Blessed Eldar!

Rock my soul
Grey cloak, grey folk, years uncounted since we woke
Enchanted river keeps on runnin' through your immortal soul
Enchanted are the Thousand Caves, hey, I'm on an unstoppable roll

Get up!
(You might have to go to Angband)
Sing it!
(You might lose your right hand)
But everybody's working oooon a plan!
Whoo!

(CHORUS)
I live in Beleriand, help me out, but I live in Beleriand, wait a minute

You might not be looking for our Guarded Lands, but you might find 'em anyway
Under one of those old Sindarin names
Like Doriath (Doriath), Talath Rhunen (Talath Rhunen), Hithlum (Hithlum)
Nargothrond (Nargothrond), Dorthonion (Dorthonion)
Gondolin (Gondolin), Vinyamar (Vinyamar), Ard-Galen and Ivrin

Living in Beleriand - hit me - living in Beleriand - yeah, I keep the Orcs out
Living in Beleriand
I'm Lord of Beleriand - watch how you Noldor behave, cause
I'm Lord of Beleriand - hey, I know what it means, I'm
Living in Beleriand - Morgoth Bauglir, eat your heart out
Living in Beleriand - hit me, I said now, I'm the lord of all the Sindar
Living in Beleriand - so nice, gonna get me a jewel
Living in Beleriand - I feel good!
