Elrond Peredhel
(parody of first song in Hamilton)
How does a half-elf orphan son of a star and its guardian dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In woods near Lindon after living in captivity and squalor / Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
Though he once floundered, this realm founder from lands foundered Couldn’t stand prouder Couldn’t spit lore louder, Became a king crowner by having a mind sounder /than was safe, and gathering powerful friends around him.
And every day while Numenor fell /further from grace / away across the waves, he struggled and filled his heart up / with kindness, longing for something to be a part of , Our herald was ready to sneak, speak, make vows, and barter
Celebrimbor then came, with tower high aims,/Our boy saw a chance to get respect put on his name, / Broke some rocks and saw the errors that caused his friend pain, and healed what he had maimed, got dwarves in on the game.
Well the word got around ‘bout the mithril in their caves, man!
High king sent him back in with a load of stuff to trade and,
he stood before king Durin, held the hopes of his whole race, and he told the old king his name! Who’s that half man?
I am Elrond Peredhel, the elves, they call me Elrond Peredhel. See I’m more than them, I’m man as well, I chose my fate, I chose my fate.
