I had about half an hour to record this. I did my best. There's a lot I like about it songwriting-wise, but I'm trying not to give away too much about the obvious influence(s) that crept in.
lyrics
The mountain sighed and horses brayed
Erech’s stone a promise was made
Isildur’s curse bound trysting place
Cursed men, Dunharrow wraiths
Malbeth, old, he told the tale
Of Dunedain and blooded vale
Need a chance, redeem themselves
What lies beneath Harrowdale
The Dead Men of Dunharrow
Oathbreakers, escaped the gallows
Neath the White Mountains hid
You’ll find the Army of the Dead
Commandeered a thousand ships
With a little bit of living help
Cross the seas to bring them death
Cast the ring to fiery depths
On Pelennor they made their stand
Flying banners of ol’ Halbarad
Wipe the orcs from this great land
Loosen grip of Mairon’s hand
The Dead Men of Dunharrow
Oathbreakers, escaped the gallows
Neath the White Mountains hid
You’ll find the Army of the Dead
