A stone's throw after midnight 
Standing in the rain 
Just echoes of a heartbeat 
As lonely as the grave 

The silence rules the halflight 
With deafening resound 
As the iridescent moonlight 
Falls softly to the ground 

If only for a moment 
There's peace on middle earth 
Till stepping from shadows 
They arrived without a word 

Don't make a sound, we're all out of miracles 
I shake with fear and watch the wraiths of the ring appear 
They're reaching out, they're tireless and cynical 
I smell the death and know the wraiths of the ring are here 
They know that the ring is near 

A locked door should be airtight 
Pull the shutters down 
Better pray that in the daylight 
We can turn this world around 

We tip toe in the footsteps 
Of those who went before 
The weary and the breathless 
Deny what fate befalls 

A few souls in the darkness 
Are faithful to the cause 
So we gather round the embers 
Of a dream worth fighting for 

Don't make a sound, we're all out of miracles 
I shake with fear and watch the wraiths of the ring appear 
They're reaching out, they're tireless and cynical 
I smell the death and know the wraiths of the ring are here 
They know that the ring is near 

A wrong move from a graveside 
And no one dares to breathe 
We would die than ever question 
The paths of true belief 

Don't make a sound, we're all out of miracles 
I shake with fear and watch the wraiths of the ring appear 
They're reaching out, they're tireless and cynical 
I smell the death and know the wraiths of the ring are here 
They know that the ring is near
