A Knife in the Dark
This song sounds exactly like the scene it
is depicting - flight and chase. As Strider and the Hobbits
are atop the Watchtower of Amon Sul, the Black Riders approach
due to the fire the Hobbits lit.
The Hobbits are no match for the servants of
Mordor. As Frodo puts on the Ring and then resists the Black
Rider's attempt to grab it, Frodo is stabbed by him. As
Gandalf later states, Frodo's wound will never fully heal.
Luckily, Strider enters the scene and is able to ward off the
Riders with fire.
Frodo is considerably wounded by the stab
and is about to become one of the wraiths. Fortunately, Arwen
shows up to carry Frodo towards Rivendell. This track captures
the aura of the Watchtower along with the Riders extremely
well, and the arrival of Arwen is spectacular, as she jokingly
mocks Strider while he is bending down. |
