It's one of life's more depressing ironies... that the men who crave power... are best fitted to acquire it, and least fitted to exercise it.
— A friendship with Saruman is not lightly thrown aside. One ill turn deserves another. It is over. Embrace the power of the Ring... or embrace your own destruction!

I was born of the ice and snow
With the winter wolves, in the dark, alone
The wildest night, I became the one
And you'll know you're mine when the silence calls
Heavy is the crown only for the weak
A knife in my heart couldn't slow me down
'Cause power is power, the fire never goes out
I rise from my scars, nothing hurts me now
'Cause power is power
Now watch me burn it down.
