The Speech
And so he strode in front the crowd
And standing tall, he said aloud
"My friends, my folk, my kith, my kin"
"The task we face is bleak and grim"
"A darkest threat is at our door"
"That threatens us for evermore"
"For evil's come with spears and knives"
"It has no care for hobbit lives"
"These Goblins that invade the Shire"
"Have brought with them their filth and fire"
And on his horse, he faced the crowd
And carried on, his voice aloud
"I see the fear within your eyes"
"I feel the pain, I hear your cries"
"I know we'd rather not be here"
"And many eyes have shed their tears"
"I also know our hearts are stout"
"We've lived through times of cold and drought"
"In times of strife we stand as one"
"Together we can overcome!"
"So onward now", Bullroarer cried
"To noble battle, to fight or die!"
"Keep in your mind all you hold dear"
"And use that hope to conquer fear"
"For courage is a noble shield"
"Its strength excels the swords they wield"
"We shan't sit back, and watch the day"
"When all we love is swept away"
"When these green fields are green no more"
"And so my friends, we go to war!"
