Minas Morgul was Minas Ithil,
Now it's Minas Morgul, not Minas Ithil.
Been a long time dark for old Minas Ithil,
In the moonless night, by runic light.
The Uruk-hai in old Minas Ithil
Lurk in Minas Morgul, not Minas Ithil
So if you've a doom in old Minas Ithil
It awaits thee in fell Morgul.
Even old Mirkwood was once the Greenwood Great.
Why it changed, I dare not say.
[Evil One liked it better that way.]
So, take me back to old Minas Ithil.
No, the road goes not to old Minas Ithil.
All the lights are out, in old Minas Ithil--
Why did old Minas Ithil pop its corks?
That's nobody's business but the Orks.
