Falling Doom

Orodruin

The Song

This parody of Mortals by Warriyo (original with Laura Brehm) envisages as its scene the completion of Frodo’s quest at the very end of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings: The Ring has just been destroyed in the fires of Orodruin and Mount Doom is erupting in a orgy of self-destruction while Frodo and Sam lie collapsed with exhaustion upon a lower slope, helpless, as their world ends.

Recording

The song structure is very simple – a single verse structure in the middle of an otherwise instrumental composition. The beautiful, haunting tune inspires lyrics of a reflective, even speculative nature.

Lyrics

Falling Doom

V1:

All Mount Doom is quaking
It’s the end of Mordor.
Hope is now awaking
For The Ring is destroyed. Sauron cannot

Stop disaster taking
Overthrowing Mordor.
Destiny is shaking
All our future lives. What next will be?
