about this song
The lyrics to this song are about warriors riding off to battle. They sing of fame and honor, heroism and the prospect of death. They and their battle aren’t named, but the warriors count “wights” as their enemy, suggesting a connection to the previous song. Perhaps they are Men from the kingdom of Arthedain, which struggled against the creeping influence of the Witch-King of Angmar, who was later chief of the Ringwraiths. It was this servant of Sauron who sent the wights into the Barrow-downs.
