Here are mp3s of the songs (Buffy version) that we plan to do. They are large, as you might expect.
Standing (Blank)
And here are the lyrics to the songs that will be sung at the RotK Line
Party:
Rest In Peace
Saruman -- Shawn
Gandalf -- Anthony
SARUMAN:
I fought
For so many years
Why are you all treating me
Like someone to be feared?
If I hadn't protected you
You would have disappeared
You're scared
Afraid of Sauron's might
With Stormcrow whispering in your ear
You can't see what's right
But if you'll turn your back on him
I'll lead you to the light
But no-
Words are of no avail
You weaklings and your half-dead kings
Your rag-tag and bob-tail
If you put your faith in them
Then all your hopes shall fail
So let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
You won't take this keep
So crawl back out of Orthanc
And go celebrate Helm's Deep
For ones so weak as you
There's no dishonor in defeat
So let me rest in peace
You know
You're gonna be enslaved
Yeah Sauron's gonna punish you
Because you misbehaved
And when the Dark Lord's done with you
I'll dance upon your graves
So let me rest in peace
GANDALF:
No, you may not go
Your staff is broken, your power destroyed
We'll send your master back to the void
And leave his servants unemployed
You’ve met a fate that you can’t avoid
You're captive and we're overjoyed
We'll leave you here
And let you rest in peace
The stone you've thrown we'll keep
We'll let you live in memory
Of your wisdom once so deep
The Ents will stay to see that there is nowhere to retreat
So we'll let you rest in peace
SARUMAN:
Why won't you let me rest in peace?
I'll Never Tell
Legolas -- Faith
Gimil -- Anthony
Old Man -- Chris
LEGOLAS:
Look it's a dwarf, he's uncouth and he's coarse
A terrible boor
He makes this run 'cross the wide plains of Ro-han
Hard to endure
The hobbits must be saved
But you'd think he'd find time to shave
I'll take it to my grave . . .
I'll never tell
GIMLI:
Great, it's an elf who's obsessed with himself
Now there's a surprise
I can detect all his sly disrespect
Because he's stiff-necked
So he can run on snow
His only weapon's that dumb bow
There's just one thing that - no
I'll never tell
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
'Cause there's nothing to tell
LEGOLAS:
He's short
GIMLI:
He's pretty
LEGOLAS:
He thinks his jokes are witty
GIMLI:
He hums some elven ditty
As we run along
LEGOLAS:
He's gross, and hairy
GIMLI:
He acts like he's a fairy
LEGOLAS:
He's stubborn and contrary
Stupid and headstrong
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
This chase
Is really wearing
GIMLI:
No one taught him about sharing
LEGOLAS:
He thinks wearing brown is daring
GIMLI:
He can be so overbearing
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
But it's all very well
'Cause I swear I'll never tell
LEGOLAS:
We've lost the hobbits
We're at the end of our wits
We're here at Fangorn Forest
With no hope in sight
GIMLI:
If we go in there
I'll tell you we should beware
The trees are -
LEGOLAS:
Look how the dwarf's scared!
GIMLI:
I'm not frightened, all right?

(End Silly dialouge)
(End Musical Interlude)
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
You know
GIMLI:
He's quite the charmer
LEGOLAS:
My dwarf in armor
GIMLI:
When he sees the caves of Aglarond
I know he can't help but respond
With firm yet supple - stiff-necked elves
LEGOLAS:
He's brave
GIMLI:
He's braver
LEGOLAS:
I've never seen him waver
GIMLI:
He wants to be the savior
Of all Middle Earth
LEGOLAS:
He plays the stoic
Beneath he's quite heroic
Although he'd never show it
I ignored his worth
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
I lied
I said it's easy
I tried
But there's feelings I can't quell
GIMLI:
Could he learn to live beneath the ground?
LEGOLAS:
Would my people run me out of town?
GIMLI:
Will he think that I'm disgusting
When my armor gets to rusting?
LEGOLAS:
When I go to the Grey Havens
Will he grieve like he's been shaven?
GIMLI:
Am I crazy?
LEGOLAS:
Am I selfish?
GIMLI:
Am I dating someone elvish?
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
You might think that I'm a cold fish
But this just won't end well
So that's why I'll never tell
I swear that I'll never tell
GIMLI:
My lips are sealed
LEGOLAS:
Silence is gold
GIMLI:
Nothing to see
Move it along
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
We'll never tell
Standing
Sam -- Shawn
SAM:
I thought we’d made it out of Shelob’s lair
The stars were bright and hope was in the air
But it’s all ashes to me with you lying there
But I…
We’ve come a long way from the Shire’s hills
You could have done it but you never will
And I can’t bear to see you lying cold and still
But I…
Wish I could give way to heartbreak and give up all we planned
Wish we’d grown gray together in our green homeland
Wish I could stay, but now I understand
The ring must go its way
We swore an oath that day in Rivendell
That we’d continue if the bearer fell
So master Frodo, I guess this means farewell
But I…
Wish I could delay a moment in Cirith Ungol’s pass
Wish I could lay my life down but it won’t bring you back
Wish I could stay, your Samwise to the last
But the ring must go its way
The ring must go its way
