Filk: Mordor On My Mind

Just wrote this - the scansion appealed to me.

TTTO Carolina In My Mind

In my mind I've reached the Gates of Mordor
Don't you miss the sunshine?
Don't you just want some moonshine?
Ain't it just like a dream of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I reached the Gates of Mordor in my mind

Uncle left the Shire at night
He just walked away and left forever
Left me this here golden ring
A silver tear appearing now
I'm cryin' ain't I
Reached the Gates of Mordor in my mind.

There ain't no doubt the road is hard
Nazgul hunt and never tire
Never letting down our guard
And hey babe the sky's on fire,
I'm dyin' ain't I
Reached the Gates of Mordor in my mind.

In my mind I've reached the Gates of Mordor
Don't you miss the sunshine?
Don't you just want some moonshine?
Ain't it just like a dream of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I've reached the Gates of Mordor in my mind

Dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard a Balrog screeching
Eagles in flight and orcs that fight
Signs that might be omens are beseeching, reaching
Reached the Gates of Mordor in my mind.

With a holy host of others standing around me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Mordor in my mind

In my mind I've reached the Gates of Mordor
Don't you miss the sunshine?
Don't you just want some moonshine?
Ain't it just like a dream of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes I reached the Gates of Mordor in my mind
Reached the Gates of Mordor in my mind
Then I'm past the Gates of Mordor in my mind
Gone past Gates of Mordor in my mind
Gone - I'm gone - I'm gone
Say nice things about me
'Cause I'm gone West
Carry on without me
'Cause I'm gone
