Chapter 1 - Battle Hymn

Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the elf of Golden Hair
He is trampling down the Balrogs who are taken unaware
He has a smile so dashing none could ever be as fair.
The Elf is Marching on

I have seen him near the talans of a hundred thudding maids
they follow, gasp and swoon and drool and will not be waylaid
They know his beauty and his charm shall never dim nor fade
The Elf is Marching on

He faced the foes of Mordor and he did not know defeat
He worked for Elrond all those years and he did not sound retreat
He's mobbed by hordes of fangirls and he still remains so sweet
The Elf is Marching on

In the house of Golden Flowers In fair Gondolin we see
An elf of unsurpassing grace and noble dignity
As he died to slay a Balrog let us live to make elves free
Our Elf is Marching on
