about

Treebeard's view on Isengard and why they ought to not meddle in it.

lyrics

We walk among the trees, but we, unlike them
Have not let our hearts become hard,
Times have changed, as I see my kin
Become charred in the fires.

This is not our war to be fighting for
This is the war of men and elves and orcs,
This is fire and steel and clashing hatred,
This does not concern those of Fangorn.

Entmoot acknowledges those who disagree in temperament,
And that this war was eminent,
But we are not to play a role in this, unconcerned by the issues at hand.
As we will get the land we walked, back in time.

This is not our war to be fighting for
This is the war of men and elves and orcs,
This is fire and steel and clashing hatred,
This does not concern those of Fangorn.
This is not our war to be fighting for.
