The Heart of Fangorn

[RavenHeart]

Here is my transcription of the song NamariëGaladriel sent me.
Long before Men tread Middle Earth
Before the Dwarves and Elves gave birth
There lived a race for the trees defense
In the Heart of Fangorn there lived the Ents
ahhh ooohh hudda hoo huddadda hooo hudda hoo
ahhh ooohh hudda hoo huddadda hooo hudda hoo
Patient farmers, they tend their Wood
Guardians of stems and of roots
Here the arbours, immense in Wales
Falling axes and tearful trails
ahhh ooohh hudda hoo huddadda hooo hudda hoo
ahhh ooohh hudda hoo huddadda hooo hudda hoo
Living creatures are on the land
And hasty judgements make careless hands
A thoughtless word from a thoughtless king
A thousand creatures died beneath the trees
ahhh ooohh hudda hoo huddadda hooo hudda hoo
ahhh ooohh hudda hoo huddadda hooo hudda hoo
Rivers may flow, though the course may change
Birds are born and will fly away

Wow! That is great!! I was a little foggy on some of the lyrics and it looks like you cleared them up! I am glad that you enjoy it so much!
Is there somehow you could change it into a wav. format? If you could I could have it playing in the background for one of the topic boards!

The Heart of Fangorn
by Marc Gunn, Bard 11/21/02

I'm a big fan of JRR Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". The Brobdingnagian Bards were working on a tribute album to Tolkien , called Memories of Middle Earth which has me writing songs. This one is a good environmentalist song about Treebeard and the Ents, and the troubles they must face to thrive in a world where people destroy without care.

Long before men tread Middle-Earth,
Before the dwarves and elves gave birth,
There sprouted a race for the trees' defense
In the heart of Fangorn, there live the Ents.

Ha-room... Ha-da-ra-room.
Ha-room... Ha-da-ra-room.

Patient farmers they tend the woods.
Gaurdians of stems and of roots.
They hear the arbors' laments and wails
From falling axes and tearful trails.

For Living Creatures all roam the land,
But hasty judgements make careless hands.
One thoughtless word from a thoughtless king
A thousand creatures die beneath the trees.

The rivers will flow though their course may change.
The birds are born and will fly away.
Men will come and men will go,
But the Ents remain through the melting snow.
