Title, Original English and Sindarin
Translation found in the
AS-ROTK and on the DVD that came with the ROTK
Special Edition Soundtrack CD. The Original English
and the use of the Sindarin translation in the lyrics are found in
the
MusicNotes sheet music.
The AS-ROTK says this song is first heard in Disc 1,
Track 1, Mount Doom. The three 'pieces' of singing in that track
are:
Frodo claims the Ring,
Gollum claims the Ring,
Frodo fights Gollum for the Ring. Those pieces were determined
(per MusicNotes sheet music) to have used lyrics from
The Destruction of the Ring.
Therefore I think this is a mistake.
Sung by
Renée Fleming.

The end
of all things.
From ROTK, Book 6, Chapter 3, Mount Doom
The Ring is destroyed...
Towers fell and mountains slid;
walls crumbled and melted, crashing down; vast spires of smoke
and spouting steams went billowing up, up, until they toppled
like an overwhelming wave, and its wild crest curled and came
foaming down upon the land. And then at last over the miles
between there came a rumble, rising to a deafening crash and
roar; the earth shook, the plain heaved and cracked, and
Orodruin reeled. Fire belched from its riven summit. The skies
burst into thunder seared with lightning. Down like lashing
whips fell a torrent of black rain.
... I am glad you are here with me.
Here at the end of all things,
Sam.'
From ROTK, Book 6, Chapter 4, The Field of Cormallen
Frodo repeats the line...
'I am glad that you are here with me,' said
Frodo. 'Here at the end of all things, Sam.'
