(parody of first song in Hamilton)

How does a half-elf orphan son of a star and its guardian dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In woods near Lindon after living in captivity and squalor / Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

Though he once floundered, this realm founder from lands foundered Couldn’t stand prouder Couldn’t spit lore louder, Became a king crowner by having a mind sounder /than was safe, and gathering powerful friends around him.

And every day while Numenor fell /further from grace / away across the waves, he struggled and filled his heart up / with kindness, longing for something to be a part of , Our herald was ready to sneak, speak, make vows, and barter

Celebrimbor then came, with tower high aims,/Our boy saw a chance to get respect put on his name, / Broke some rocks and saw the errors that caused his friend pain, and healed what he had maimed, got dwarves in on the game.

Well the word got around ‘bout the mithril in their caves, man!

High king sent him back in with a load of stuff to trade and,

he stood before king Durin, held the hopes of his whole race, and he told the old king his name! Who’s that half man?

Galadriel : “High king-

I need for you to listen,

About my latest mission,

I need to speak my peace and trust my king will see my wisdom

Now I’m the model of a modern noldo general

A valinorian valorous venturer who read the call

Carved in flesh,

My brother’s chest,

And you’ll say its history, to comfort me or come at me,

but the dark lord’s mark was in the room,

twas carved upon a stone

and if we don’t act this could be our

Doom”

“There was hope of pursuit, he’d left clues,

What did my company do? For you? chose to slack,

Tossed their swords down and raced back.

This peace you’ve called is cracking glass, he’s out there, look,”
