Inuk's Igloo : The Phun Random Chat Thread!

Actually... I really want to see Wreck-it Ralph too, 'Nuk. I'm a gamer and references to video games like Pac-Man, Q-Bert, Mass Effect and Super Mario Bros are awesome (we even see Bowser and Robotnik/Eggman in the trailer).

 

cool pm.

I really wanna see Wreck It Ralph too Iron!

 

Just heard it, PM. Yeah... "Met a girl".... The Ring, obviously and the "Evil One"... Sauron!

 

Why do the Ring Wraiths ride in black, Iron?

 

Well... I don't know why they're black but... Black usually represents the evil ones in fantasy... Tell me then.

 

I don't know! It's what the song says...

"The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black"

 

Well... The Ringwraiths are what they're : Wraiths. They're invisible except if you wear the Ring. They ride in Black : Black Riders because they wear black robes and armors. It's the common name used by the Hobbits for example.

I thought you knew so you tried to "test" me.

"The Queen of Light took her bow and then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight, and time will tell us all

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, race now to my bow

Side by side we wait the might, of the darkest of them all

I hear the horses thunder down in the valley below
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care, which they do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light

The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red

Oh, war is the common cry, pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad, mortals never know

Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black (ride on)

Sing as you raise your bow, (ride on) shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back, bring it back

At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes

Oh, bring it back, bring it back..."

 

good tune there pm!

 

I think it's great too. And I'd love to shake a castle wall playing drums!

 

The drums will shake the Castle wall... Well, the armies of Mordor brought Trolls to Minas Tirith during the fight on Pelennor... including a giant battering ram (well seen in movies). And the war chant from orcs... when slamming their weapons on the ground and knocking their armor... sound like the war's drums. As the army goes, the Ringwraiths arrive...

 

Thank you for the explanation.

 

No problem, PM. And dang, I was afraid of making a mistake on Pelennor but I didn't. The Battle of the Pelennor Fields was such an epic moment in both book and movie.

 

I don't know if Zeppelin stole that story right out of the book, or made up their own story based on Tolkien for that song.

 

Well... terms can sure be used. They told the story in their own way for sure, using some references. It's not that important, really.

 

Cool, Iron! Great to talk to an expert!

 

Expert, fan, whatever. But one thing I'm not is a purist. If I were a purist, I would be mad for sure. Haha!

 

well I am really tired here.

good night Friends

 

Np, 'Nuk. Take care.
