Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and fate
And I was 'round when Balwen Mayel
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Thorin
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Stuck around in Aridhol
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed Prince Caar and the embassy
Princess Rhea screamed in vain
I stood atop the wall
At Aridhol
When the Manethereen came
And met their fall
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I watched the surprise
In a young man's eyes
As he took the knife
That brought me to life
I shouted out
"Who brought those Trollocs?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid tracks for those Seanchan fools
Who got killed before they fled the Toman Head
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Just as every Child is a darkfriend
And all the darkfriends Saints
As I end this tale
Just call me Mordeth
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well learned qualities
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
