Rage of Sauron

With a honey-tongue and heart of gall
      A coiled serpent poised to strike
      Beneath his speech and quiet ways
      A beguiling dagger hidden close
      With fell deeds and a heart of hate
      A mind of metal, a soul of steel
      Poisoned words, venom sweet
      Illusions are not often real

      Tongue submissive, spirit bold
      Dark as a secret left untold
      A greater lord, a greater thane
      Who shall be ruler once again
