Well after some deliberation I shall be singing in the voice of Elwing addressing Earendil a song by a famous Georgian, not as famous here as our own dear Heren Istarion but .... nevermind eh.... Statistics quoted are very much of the damned lies variety

"Nine Million Orcs"

There were nine million orcs in Thangorodrim
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I loved you enough to fly.

We are twelve thousand miles from Middle Earth,
That's a guess,
I don't know if it's true
But I know my heart will always be with you.

I'm blessed by the light of you, the Evening Star
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are a BILLION people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

[INTERLUDE]
You're high in the heavens
Silmaril in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the hope you give each night

There were nine million orcs in Thangorodrim
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I loved you enough to fly.

And there were nine million orcs in Thangorodrim
And you know that I loved you enough to fly!
