[intro]
[guitar solo]
[verse 1]
From the shadows of the forest where the nameless wandered free
A ranger cloaked in silence, with a burden no eye could see
He bore the weight of ages in a weather-beaten hand
An outlaw sworn to guard the hope of every broken land
[Verse 2]
He walked beside the halflings when the road was soaked in fear,
Sworn to guard the smallest hearts the darkness hunted near,
Through snow and fire and ancient grief, through loss he never fled,
A shield before the Fellowship, where destiny was led
[Verse 3]
In battles fierce and firelit, where the drums of war would cry
He stood against the darkness, sometimes even close to die
With fearless blade and steady breath, he faced the crawling night
Yet mercy walked beside his strength, a gentler kind of might
[Chorus]
So raise your cups to Aragorn
the true heir to the throne!
Filling hearts of the ones around with new hope and worth
Unifying and leading the free people of middle earth
To fight the final battle against Sauron’s tyranny
All hail the King of Gondor, the White City’s new dynasty!
[Verse 4]
He spoke with kings and common folk the very selfsame way
With humble words and listening ears, no pride to lead astray
He bound the oaths of ancient foes by honor deeply sworn
Where dwarf and elf and mortal man stood united, reborn
[Verse 5]
When all the world lay trembling on the brink of final doom
He still believed in goodness where despair had claimed its room
He claimed the throne not born of gold, but sacrifice and pain
And wore the crown of the White City where the bells rang again
[Verse 6]
And through his years of waiting, love outshone both time and fear
For Arwen, star of evening light, his heart was ever near
An elven grace, immortal love, a choice both bold and free
She walked with him when war was done, to shape his destiny
[Chorus]
So raise your cups to Aragorn
the true heir to the throne!
Filling hearts of the ones around with new hope and worth
Unifying and leading the free people of middle earth
To fight the final battle against Sauron’s tyranny
All hail the King of Gondor, the White City’s new dynasty!
[Bridge]
Not power born of conquest, nor a crown of ancient claim
But faith in every living soul that gave his reign its name
Where friendship stood as strong as steel, where love outlived the sword
He knelt before the smallest hope and rose the mightiest lord
[Final Chorus]
So raise your cups to Aragorn
the true heir to the thron
Filling hearts of the ones around with new hope and worth
Unifying and leading the free people of middle earth
To fight the final battle against Sauron’s tyranny
All hail the King of Gondor, the White City’s new dynasty!
[outro]
So tell the tale to ages yet, when children ask his name
Not just the wars he won with sword, but hope that was in his name
For while the throne of Gondor shines, one truth will still remain
The King returned so the peace in Middle-earth would reign
