This one was played at the funeral of my friend, she was a big fan of Lord Of The Rings

RIP Christopher Lee

This song is simply incredible. This band is simply incredible. Everything Blind Guardian has ever released is incredible! This band deserves every award imaginable!

This piece is so strong and pungent, I can almost feel Frodo's pain

This version is 10x better than the 2007 remastered version. The newer version feels so rushed... I don't know why they did that. This is perfect, don't change it!

3 - Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, 7 - Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, 9 - Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, 1 - One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne 1973: RIP J.R.R Tolkien

"I land so dark, where I have to go" - sounds like my work.

This is the right version with that "I'll keep the ring full of sorrow". That part gives the first chorus a great boost.

the "i'll keep the ring full of sorrow" part gets me everytime. it makes me imagine what it must be like from sauron's perspective, loosing everything you have, even your body, seeing the world change before your eyes and your era fade off, yet still trying to build the empire your master always wanted...

Back when I was 10~12ish I used to search songs using Shareaza. My father bought the trilogy of the LoTR and I was really into medieval and mystic things. So I started to search the LoTR's soundtracks, mainly the King of the Golden Hall. As I didn't quite knew how to search anything properly I searched for anytihng related to Lord of the Rings. Blessed was that day that I bumped on this song, my first Blind Guardian's song.

Loved how Hansi introduced this song at one of their concerts I went to. "Now we go to the land of Mordor to peer behind the shoulder of Sauron..." Topped only by how he introduced "Fly": "I'm going to tell you a story about Peter Pan" and "Nightfall": Can't remember the exact words, but he explicitly said "Valinor", so we all knew what was coming and cheered. He just looks at us and says "It's not a happy song".

This is the superior version.

Blind Guadian é outro nível.

3:08 A true metal fan :)

There are signs on the Ring Which make me feel so down There's one to enslave all Rings To find them all in time And drive them into darkness Forever they'll be bound Three for the Kings Of the elves high in light Nine to the mortals Which cry I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow I'll keep the Ring till I die I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow I'll keep the Ring till I die Ref.: Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and I walk to the hill Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and I walk to the hill And there's no way out Mordor Mordor Mordor Dark land under Sauron's spell Threatened a long time Threatened a long time Seven rings to the dwarfes In their halls made of stone Into the valley I feel down (I feel down) One ring to the dark lord's hand Sitting on his throne In a land so dark Where I have to go I'll keep the Ring I'll keep the Ring I'll keep the Ring I'll keep the Ring I'll keep the Ring Till I die Ref. (2x): Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and I walk to the hill Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and I walk to the hill Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and I walk to the hill Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and I walk to the hill

Very sad song and yet so beautiful. In a land so dark, where I have to go.

Such a wonderful song!

After an accident I had and about two months without any music, this song touched me so deeply I started weeping without stop.

This is my Rings of Power therapy.

They played this live tonight in Örebro, Sweden. Was amazing!

brings back so many memories. So nostalgic... cant even describe.

This song introduced me to BG, is the most important for me.

The 2:35 gets me everytime I hear, that change in the rythm is majestic.

Not having Blind Guardian in LOTR or the Hobbit was a missed opportunity.

Blind Guardian has made two of my favorite book series into amazing songs

The lyrics capture the true weight of the ring's dark power under Sauron's control.

Ash Nazg durbatulûk. Ash Nazg gimbatul, ash Nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

I swear every time I read the comment section on youtube my hatred for humanity increases. I can literally feel my brain cells commit suicide by jumping out my ear and falling to their death.

This is the only band that has ever nearly moved me to tears.

A very beautiful song yet somehow it's sad at the same time

Escuche esta canción cuando tenia 14, ahora tengo 28 sigue siendo GENIAL. Me encanta.

Essa música é simplesmente épica!! Power Metal

Brilliance beyond compare! Professor John Ronald Reul Tolkien would have been proud of this song!

Beautiful Voice.Beautiful Song

Great song, lyrics in the video AND in the description, the best scenes from a good movie... This is one of the best clips in youtube!

Lord of the Rings will always be with me, but this song i used to listen with my friends while going to school, while we played RPGs and xbox, after we went swimming in the beach, along with Rhaosody of Fire, Amon Amarth, Turisas, Bathory... But this song is so much more tearjerking nostálgic than all the others.

Blind Guardian to rule them all... The way they make you relive Middle-earth books time after time is just amazing...

nostalgia é ouvir essa musica e lembrar quando jogava rpg com os amigos de escola.

I really love this song, the only thing I criticize is that it's too short so it keeps me begging for more.

About to head to a back-to-back showing of the three extended editions I am *vibrating*

pezzo fantastico!!!uno dei miei pezzi preferiti di questo gruppo....e poi mi fa veramente entrare nella terra di mezzo!!

Blind Guardian é épico demais!

Play this song while playing Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor !

Oh, wow, I haven't heard this version before! I'm used to the version that's found on my copy of Tales from the Twilight World. I love the added lyrics and the further acoustic, slightly slowed pace is interesting, also. Blind Guardian are amazing as always

it's been years since I heard this masterpiece live and I love it still

This is the most beautiful metal song I've ever heard.

Obra de arte ❤

They totally failed not using this song for the movies

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful song. Add to that, this is the first time I've listened to this song, ever. Thank you for uploading, I now have a new song to satisfy my thirst for music.

So beatiful song...bring back to my memory so good and nostalgic memories....we were a few boys on his 15th year more or less...doing loutist things,in a little "txoko" of only bricks, with a table, sofa, simple kitchen fridge and a pair of kitchen cabinets. a group of boys that joined by his liking for tolkien and roleplaying games (and football etc like other guys).doing the first"not so innocent" steps with girls, making picnics, and doing real their own crazy fantasies in a place where no one are watching. So lovely moments,so many adventures so many crazy things..and I remember while doing those things always was music background. And many times was this song.(and the bards song from blind guardian too). We wore medieval costumes on carnival and we kept some own made weapons. We were fighting each others, or destroyed fool thingscwith them. Barbecues, sray there fir a few days in complete not judging liberty. One of them had custom of show his pennis as mischief 😁 But most beautiful in hindsight was take part on life of each other. Full complete at the bottom friendship and take care one each other.somebtimes things or accidents happens, and that was an "adventure" comented some times...as the "triumphs" ofveach one(perhaps for get the most beautiful girl just for something casual,when no one could bet it. ...teen adventures in complete non judguing scenario in the middle of nature. Following the pure wishes of your heart, in a "be really yourself" be wild complete accepted environment.And this song always in mind....😏 And the bard`s song (and few of manowar.loudervthan hell snd kings of metal, When you are energy and excited powered withou reason you have to spend that explosive energy somehow, and my way was doing explosive phisical strenght things. Throwing heavy things looking how far you thrown, lifting heavy weights, or crashing hard things, or simply doing strenght about it although you know it will not breake. Justbforvspend that physical power you feel.(hormones things😁) I tell you all that, cause the simply theme of the video had liKed me all my life, but combined with the song... Thanks to you for doing this content for the public. Thanks to you for honoring tolkien Thanks to you for bring me back the best lovely period of my life And thanks to you for let me share that very beautyful precious moments with you, partner. Cause all of "lord of the rings" means so much for so many people, please...could yo do more lord of the rings videos with songs like that? One with specially "the bard's song" will be the perfect thing. or"valhalla" "nightfall in middle earth" .....thanks a lot, my partner. It was almost like living those experiences for the first time. Strong hug for you😏

am i the only one who wants them to make an album based of of "A song of ice and fire"?

I fell in love with this song when I was 14,now I'm 20 and I'm still crazy for it :D

anyone listening in these days i wanna say just i love you my beautiful soul and we'll meet one day wherever it could be ♥

Absolute travesty that this song wasn’t the ending credits track for the end of the lord of the rings movie trilogy. Arguably, some of the biggest fans of the LOTR universe and snubbed from the movies

Blind Guardian, True Bards of Middle-Earth.

Blind Guardian it's too good for the Peter Jackson adaptation,personally i prefer to associate this wonderful song with the book.

Das ist ein wundervolles Lied.

Just beautiful.

@745deathdrag It's from "The Forgotten Tales", 1997 album which includes some covers, demos and rearranged, mostly acoustic versions of their songs, like Bright Eyes and Mordred's Song. This version is there. And thank you video is fantastic, I really like how Isildur and "I'll keep the Ring" parts got together :)

Love this song! Such an amazing band!

De lo mas hermoso y magico q he escuchado en toda mi reputisima vida!!! Impresionante!!! 😍😍😍

I wonder how many people seeing this video and liking it are not Blind Guardian fans, it not metal fans at all.

Man, this is epic!!! Thanks for uploading, these scenes bring tears to my eyes.

3:09 It seems like he's headbanging

For some reason I always play this while drinking. Epic song.

Better than the remaster

MORDOR!!!

The dominon's falling but not dispapears. LOOTR is the best ! Blind is very nice and good work to the author of this videoclip.

2:38 it gets me always

“I’ll keep the ring full of thorrow”

This song and movie induces heavy nostalgia, sigh...

This song+ Warband The Last Days Overhaul mod = win

just amazing

can't be more epic than this

Sensacional

DIVINOUS...

Listening to this song while watching a story about Isildur... just amazing!

Loved it

Just lovely!

Increible!!! excelente video

Bandjidos, bandjidos everywhere!

Grande Blind Guardian!!

Epic!!!!! Thank you Blind Guardian \m/

1:00 always gives me chills, awesome

Grande, ottimo tributo per i Guardian! ^_^

Still gives me chills every time i listen to this.

Awesome band. More than rockstars , brilliant musicians.

Lo imperfecto es perfecto cuando tiene una imperfeccion

How precious music!

Blind guardian for ever

great video!

i love blind guardians, so good.

One does not simply sing your way into Mordor

When I heard the first notes it reminded me on behind blue eyes by Limp Bizkit. Great song by the way!
