The Ent’s Marching Song is a song chanted by the Ents of Fangorn Forest as they marched on Isengard. It appears in the chapter “Treebeard”.
The chant began with a loud cry of “ra-hoom-rah!” and was accompanied by a sound like the rolling beats and booms of solemn drums.
We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-rūna rūna rūna rom!
To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars – we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!
