• Artist: Kvothe Aero
• Description: This poem is a fun, somewhat ambitious attempt to put words behind Howard Shore's masterpiece "The Bridge of Khazad Dum" from The Fellowship of the Ring's soundtrack. The exact moment this poem sets to begin is at 4:40 in the song. This excerpt is also famous for being used in Man of Steel's first trailer seen before The Dark Knight Rises.

Gandalf

Thunderstruck with the world's despair
Precious. There's nothing for us here

Snow breathing down our backs
Trying to cope with no further presence

Bilbo felt his pain from long ago
Frodo burdened and now alone

Captive by retribution as swift as the Orcs at Night
Aspiring to heights for the fate of this Age

Screw the weather and forget the wind
Some pain will never mend

But alas, hear the call of Smeagol's cry
A reminder of Aurora, of tragedy, and of strife

Renew the heart as the music fades
Never forget the night nor its break of day

Gandalf
