Is it maybe Aragorn speaking, in a moment of clairvoiyance:
"..when I mastered the Stone I learned many things. A grave peril I saw I coming unlooked for upon Gondor from the South that will draw off great strength from the defences of Minas Tirith. If it is not countered swiftly, I deem that the City will be lost ere ten days be gone. they will be hard put to it, harder maybe than we are, for the strength he sent there is no less than one awaiting us ." Referring to the Paths of the Dead.
