PRECIOUS
to the tune of POSSESSION by Sarah MacLachlan

SAURON
   Listen as the wind blows
   From across this vast plateau
   Shadows trapped in Mordor
   Bodies down below

   The Nine are my companions
   And Darkness is my guide
   Would I spend forever here
   In fear of halfling spies?

CHORUS (SMEAGOL)
   And now we seeks the One
   We'll hold you down
   Bite you so hard
   We'll take your ring away

   And after we
   Falls into the fire
   Just close your Eye, Sire...

WITCH-KING
   Through Middle-earth I journey
   By my Great Ring betrayed
   Trying to find a hobbit in the Shire
   With fellow wraiths

SMEAGOL
   Oh, it tricked usss with itss riddles
   And it taunted usss with rhymes

WITCH-KING
   My body reeks with the Black Breath
   The Ring keeps me alive

CHORUS (SMEAGOL)

(INTERLUDE)

WITCH-KING
   Into the north we wander
   The Lidless Eye we dread
   Another day without the ring
   It's tough being undead

SMEAGOL
   Back into the pits of Moria!
   To follow's suicide!

WITCH-KING
   No living man may hinder me
   And I won't be denied...

CHORUS (SMEAGOL)
REPEAT CHORUS (SMEAGOL)
