Lyrics
Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
Misty mountains callin’ low
Footsteps fade where shadows go
Carryin’ a weight unknown
Not a crown but darker stone
Whispers crawl inside my head
Every word the Ring has said
One more step, don’t lose your way
But it’s gettin’ hard to stay
Pre-Chorus
World grows thin
Light goes cold
Hands keep reachin’ for the gold
Voices rise
Pull me in
Where does Frodo end… begin
Chorus
Under precious
Under precious
Walkin’ miles and feelin’ restless
Under precious
Under precious
Holdin’ on but barely breathin’
Verse 2
Fire below and ash above
Trust is strainin’, breakin’ love
Sam keeps sayin’, “Don’t give in”
But the dark is closin’ in
Eyes are watchin’ from afar
Every step don’t go too far
Path is narrow, fate is tight
Day is gone, we walk by night
Pre-Chorus
Burden grows
Mind is torn
Every step feels more forlorn
Hear it call
Soft and slow
“You were never meant to go…”
Chorus
Under precious
Under precious
Every breath is feelin’ endless
Under precious
Under precious
One more step into the darkness
Bridge
Gollum crawlin’, twisted grin
“Let me guide you… let me in…”
Split in two, a shattered mind
Truth and lies all intertwined
Hold the line, don’t let it win
Light still burns somewhere within
Even now, don’t turn away
There’s still hope at break of day
Breakdown
Instrumental Break – dramatic build, choir pads, rising tension, NO VOCALS
Final Chorus
Under precious
Under precious
At the edge, the fire beckons
Under precious
Under precious
This is where the end is reckonin’
Under precious
Under precious
Let it go or be possessin’
Under precious
Under precious
Choose your fate… or lose your soul
Outro
Precious… calling…
Precious… falling…
One last step…
Into the flame…
