Written by dennis deyoung Lead vocals by james young All hail to the lords of the ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the music in their story All hail to the lords of the ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the lands of ancient glory In the year of the lords The message came from above The heavens opened with their mighty sound That shook the people in the town And so we came from everywhere The young and old the rich and poor To hear the legend of the magic ring And of the powers it could bring, they sing All hail to the lords of the ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the music in their story All hail to the lords of the ring To the magic and mystery it brings May we someday wear its glory And now the message is clear For i became a lord this year And though the legend was pure fantasy We still need the hope it brings, so let's sing All hail to the lords of the ring To believe is a wonderous thing May we always sing their glory All hail to the lords of the ring To the magic and mystery they bring To the promise of their story
