Here is our version of J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "The Ents' Marching Song!" We worked hard to interpret this in the spirit of Tolkien's work and hope you enjoy it:)
A note on our interpretation:
With this song, we tried to interpret what happened in the book as authentically as possible. The drums and sound effects are meant to represent the sound of the Ents marching through the forest on their way to Isengard. The song starts off with lower voices and a slower tempo and then slowly builds, showing how the Ents are at first slow to move but when angered can come upon you as quickly and suddenly as an avalanche.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we do! Thanks very much for listening and for your support!
We are unable to get permission to sell this song so we are posting it here free for your enjoyment. If you want a copy of the mp3, we are offering it to those who support us on Patreon!
My brother composed and arranged the piece. My family sang it.
Please no bad language in the comments. We want this to be family friendly:)
Lyrics:
We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa 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!
Here is our version of J.R.R Tolkien's, "The Ents' Marching Song!" We hope you enjoy it:)
It sounds awesome! Song of Beren and Luthien?
How about the Ent song at the beginning of the Children of Húrin? That ones really cool

Ever
Clamavi De Profundis This is most excellent
You guys are amazing, love all your songs :D
Such great mood and emotion. If you'll do any more, I think "The Fall of Finrod Felagund" could be good.
The biggest reason that this song hits as hard as it does is because of the characterisation of the ents. In the story it is made abundantly clear that the ents are nigh unflappable. Incredibly difficult to anger, rousing them is a monumental task. Because of this characterisation and the utter *fury* that we see them display when they match to war, it creates a feeling that whoever they're marching against, regardless of who it is, is a dead man walking. They have awakened the wrath of the *trees themselves,* and they are going to sorely regret that decision.
It's like that phrase that says "The most dangerous person is the man who just wanted to be left alone"
And a scary thought is that it when they chose to act on the fall of the trees is fast for ents. Normally, years are needed to come to a choice of action.
That's my exact thought while listening to the book. it also helps with Phil Dragash amazing reading.
The Ents were created by the Valar Yavanna specifically to protect the trees because the trees were Yavannas most favorite creation. However, she also recognized that people would need wood for all kinds of purposes and thus would need to fell trees to get the wood. So she created the Ents as very patient and hard to anger so that they would only ever act against the most eggergious acts of lumberjacking.
Pacifism is only viable when you hold the position of strength. An aggressively motivated enemy does not care if you want to be left alone, so you have to give them a reason to care.
"I am the Lorax,
I speak for the trees,
Cut us down again,
And the Ents will thee besiege."
"I am the Lorax,
I speak for the trees,
they are speaking Vietnamese."
"I am the Lorax
I speak for the trees
Here's the weed."
Couldn't come up with anything better

(The veitnam flashbacks kick in)
You have to remember something: the Ents where dying out, always and with certainty.
Their females, the Entwives, where all gone, eternity ago.
They could either wait another eternity, futilely guarding a few forests and waiting to become so old they stilled and slept forever, or they could break Isengard and turn all the orcs within into fertilizer
The entwives left, if memory serves.I believe in the book treebeard stated the entwives cared more for flowering plants, and that ents cared for the trees of the forest, and some of the wilder plants.This became too big a difference between them.Treebeard said after the fall of isengard that they would search for the entwives.
@@azraelthe4758 They already tried searching but couldn't find the Ent Wives. The Entwives left but not a trace was found left of them.
Didnt there was fore shadowing of ents at the start of books? One hobbit said that he saw a walking tree.... or maybe my memory isnt the best?
@@ArdoolYT Tolkien already addressed in his one of his letters that when he was writing about the 'walking tree-man', he hadn't even come up with the concept of the Ents yet. Though it is possible that a few entwives may have gone to the Shire, seeing that it is the perfect homeground for the Entwives
One of my favorite theories is the one that Morgoth/Sauron murdered all of the Entwives. Makes the Ents' situation feel all the more tragic.
Earth shakes, stone breaks,
The forest is at your door.
The dark sleep is broken,
The woods have awoken,
The trees have gone to war.
Roots rend, wood bends,
The Ents have answered the call.
Through branches now the wind sings.
Feel the power of living things.
The trees have gone to war.
Nice, really freaking good.

Where's it from?
I'm sorry but is no one going to talk about how deep this guys voice is and how amazingly badass it is
Your god dame right
I will. I am going to mention that Tolkien describes the ents as speaking in high voices. Still, it's an amazing rendition.
@@aaronimp4966 I'm probably wrong, but maybe "high" meant loud?
No, he didn't. He described them as a runble. QUICKBEAM had a "higher voice than Treebeard" is all.
The bass singer was using throat singing techniques to get that deep.
"...Many of these trees were my friends! Creatures I'd known from nut and acorn... SARUMAN. A WIZARD SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!!"
"I'm sorry Treebeard." Merry.
@@mercerholt8299 "There is no curse in Elvish, Entish or the tongues of Men for this treachery."
He really should have though; he was part of Aule’s court before he fell...he should have known better than to tick off his former patron’s wife’s children.
@@devingendron2287 But the children of his patron's wife should be his brothers, not by blood, but by... y'know...
I felt that in my heart
“Yavanna returned to Aulë, and he was in his smithy, pouring molten metal into a mould. ‘Eru is bountiful,’ she said. ‘Now let thy children beware! For there shall walk a power in the forests whose wrath they will arouse at their peril.’”
I always loved his response to this which, if I remember correctly, is something along the lines of "Nonetheless, they will have need of wood"
I’ve always wondered why Aule seemed so indifferent to that. He wept so much at the idea of smiting the Dwarf Fathers. Why wouldn’t he be afraid of them being killed by the Ents?
@@unfadingtoast1 One is them being destroyed before they could really be, with the Fathers having no hope of protecting themselves, no meaningful input. An Ent can be run from, it's anger not roused, and can be fought. Their fate is in their hands.
You just gave me chills.
"To hew the stone and break the door." That one sentence was said with so much anger, so much... the only way to describe it is malice.
Isn’t that the definition of malice
The trees are coming for your buddy sauron he fucked
I believe the word you were looking for was venom. As in 'that was said with such venom, as if just saying it left a bad taste in your mouth'.
@@beepboop4210 Malice is generally implied to be something that isn't deserved by the person it's directed at.
Merry kind of mentions it, but I think the fact Ents are so chill (at worst they get annoyed or ignore a problem) means it must take an enormous amount of assholery to annoy an Ent, and seeing a bunch of them superangry is probably scary by comparison.
Everybody is a master of Darkness until trees start talking.
But do the trees speak in Vietnamese?
@@TrueMentorGuidingMoonlight yes
What do trees have to talk about? Other than the consistency of squirrel droppings?
Talking yes, but what about walking?
@@Tom-re6zogood quote
There are no words in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men to describe how much I love you for doing this song!
I agree sir!
Elvish is a cool language😁
jonnythesilver
You mean mortal tongue
Nice, Treebeard would be proud:P
what about dwarwish?
This feels like the awakened wrath of the forest, slow yet booming and unstoppable, strong enough to crush walls and morale. A fitting song for the last living Sons of Yvanna to march to war to. Especially as it sounds as if this song is slowly surrounding and smothering Isengard’s theme if you listen carefully.
If you listen carefully there’s a guy who seems to be doing a Jeremy Irons impression but he’s slightly out of sync with the rest of the choir 😂
"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,"
The cadence of these lines are forever with me now.
“We go, we go, we go to war.
To hew the stone, and break the door.”
Has stuck with me since I first read the book.
I think it’s for the best that the ents are so reluctant to do literally anything by nature. The fury of the forest roused is not a force that can be resisted.
Maybe Melkor with his Balrogs and fire drakes. But certainly not by orcs with swords and torches. And if the ents march on a rainy day I’m not sure anything could stop them. Living wood is hard enough to burn, forget about it if it’s soaked.
Apparently, greek fire oil could burn underwater. Believed to be based in crude oil and quicklime, it appears to be a primitive form of napalm. The family that created the weapon around 672 A.D. took the secret to their grave. We see in the films that Saruman had developed a form of gunpowder, so it's not that big of a stretch. Thankfully, he didn't make any, so we don't have to worry about it. :)

This is HANDS DOWN one of the most amazing YOU WOKE THE SLEEPING BEAR songs ever.
The implementation of the Isengard theme from the movies was just perfect.
i wanted to say this exact same sentence
It's honestly hard for me to discern it out of the theme - this song lacks the same jagged, harsh edge the Isengard march theme holds and that's what always stuck out to me.
And the Fellowship theme motif was cool as well
I heard little echo of the Rohan theme there, which was nice.
What movie is it
Saruman got a taste of Yavanna's wrath! He who wields the axe without restraint or care, should sleep lightly.
tiggergolah indeed he did.
that's the thing with Aule-minds. they don't ever seem to learn from each other, otherwise Sarumon and Sauron both should have remembered fate of the dwarves of nogrod.
@@dennisnedry8126 I mean Aule himself seems fine though... It's just the people who try to follow him. Sauron was originally a Maiar in Aule's service.
@@trevorx7872 aule himself just got a little impatient, was willing to correct his mistake at once cause illuvataur basically thought dwarves were a good idea, and seems to have learned not to follow his own ideas without extreme thought and talking it over with manwe on whether or not illuvataur liked it too. Sauron and sarumon didn't seem to understand it.
I sleep with my axe, but Im a Guardian of the forests, my axe has yet to bite anything living.
Okay, so I read LoTR before watching it, and for pretty much everything, I was quite pleased with what the movies did, except for one thing; I was legitimately pissed off that they didn’t include this song. Just by reading the lyrics, before I ever watched it, I got chills a couple time over. And while I was watching the movies and heard what the ents sounded like, I spent the entirety of the rest of the movie waiting to hear the marching song, but when the attach started, and no ent singing was heard, I was SO pissed that they didn’t do it. Thank you for making my making my childhood dream a reality. Thank you so much!
@Lord of Jonkeys in the book they are portrayed even more peacefuly and 'slow' than in the movie. That's why this song was so menacing and mind- drilling, even just on paper
As a huge fan of the books and Tolkien's writing in general, I was also crushingly disappointed with the way the entmarch was portrayed... the movies did it in an almost comic-relief sort of way, kind of goofy and silly and classic fantasy "good guys beat bad guys because they're the good guys!" sort of style. In the books, the entmarch is arguably the single most destructive and violent event in the entirety of the War of the Ring. Isengard is the most advanced, most powerful city-state in the human world, an industrial superpower Platonic Republic led by a sorcerer-king... when the ents attack, the battle lasts a single day, and in the end, everything but the magical tower of Orthanc is rubble, and every living human and orc in Isengard is dead (except for Saruman and those in the tower itself). In the movies, Gandalf shows up like Jesus to save the day at Helm's Deep; in the books, the ents simply unleash the huorns (rage-filled murderous tree spirits) who independently go hunting down and slaughter 10,000 uruk-hai with virtually no resistance. The movies really did undercut the impact of the statement Tolkien was trying to make with the whole portrayal of ents and their role in the natural world -- nature may be a peaceful, life-loving entity... but if you betray it and abuse it, there will be a reckoning.
Jimbo Slice
To be fair to the movies here, the huorns DO make an appearance at Helm’s Deep in the extended editions. Once Gandalf rocks up with the Rohirrim and the Uruk-Hai retreat, the battle wasn’t technically won because the Rohirrim were still massively outnumbered and still stuck in a corner.
The Huorns just show up in the path of the Uruks who smash straight into them and are never seen again.
The books could be more explicit about the sacking of Isengard but the Lord of the Rings films are colossal so I feel like the Ents awesome power and strength was achieved via implication rather than an overt display (although they still get something to that effect).
They r too much things to put in 3 movies
@@TheThegoldenspatula In the second movie didn't one ent pick up a cave troll, and use it as a club to smash orcs?
It never ceased to shock me how, when we first see Isengard before we learn of Saruman's betrayal how fervent and green it is and yet when the ents march in Two Towers so much of the forest is gone and the land is blackened and barren.
I legit never noticed that lol
Play this at 0.75 speed and it feels like the slow speech of the ents and it’s amazing
It is...
So much better!
i salute thee!:D
I usually get my book out and follow the music while I read the lyric
terrific at .75 speed
I like to think that the drums in the song is the ents footsteps. Slow and unstoppable. Like the ents themselves and their own matching pace

Play it back at .75 speed and it gets more chilling. Its awesome
Try at 0.75x
Honestly I think the more calm fury shown here is fitting with the normally peaceful and jolly ents
@@isaacluna308 Play it at 2x speed and they sound jolly again!
This is definitely my favorite Clamavi recording. It fits how I feel the ents would sound perfectly. Normally soft (yet loud and slow) voices suddenly harsh and fast. It really shows how the ents were feeling.
I especially like the voice that dominates the first part of the song, it's very gravely, and captures how I think Treebeard would sound singing in anger. I also love how even though that voice is less noticeable later on, it's still there if you search for it, which really demonstrates how even though Treebeard is the ent everyone thinks of, he's not the only one. In the end, they are all brothers, of equal measure.
I love the idea that the Ents are so friggin mad that they speak and move at a normal pace
It is said in the books that Treebeard is one of the oldest ents
@@marmot418 Yeah but they're still all ents, mostly ancient, and all important. To claim he is the only important one because he's the oldest would be silly.
It's a dwindling race, they can't really afford to treat each other like some are lesser.

We come,we come

"Something is about to happen which has not occurred since the Elder Days. The Ents are going to wake, and find that they are strong."
This song is made even better now that you have released "the ent and the ent wife" and you remember that it is because of the war that the ents and the ent wives were separated. Now the ents are taking action against the war so it can end and they can be reunited with the ent wives. These two songs compliment and connect to each other perfectly in a way few others can match.

It is your work that first made me see how good Tolkien's songs really are. Every time I read LOTR, I found the marching song somewhat ridiculous, because it reminded me of some stupid musical and somehow ruined the spirit for me. Thank you for interpreting this - your version is way better than what my mind could devise of those lines. Next time I read the books, your interpretations will let me enjoy them even more.
thebiglebenski1 keep in mind also that Tolkien drew on a lot of his experience in WW1 when he wrote the books. There were many marching songs, to keep tempo and pass the time on the long marches across Europe.
You should be listening to Summoning, bro. Many of their songs are based on Lotr poems
The way their voices capture the thundering rage of the forest is truly beautiful
Imagine being Merry or Pippin sitting on Treebeards shoulder and hearing this as the ents slowly march to Isengard.
This is so incredibly epic, yet so sad. The Ents have marched one last time. They will fade into legend, the legends of the kingdoms of men that are fated to become an industrialist society just as the Ents fought against in Saruman.
I’m a simple man. I see a Clamavi De Profundis song and I leave a like.
It ain't much but it is honest work
You are a fellow man of culture.
I suppose Macbeth should be on the lookout right about now.
@hunter christensen Yes, I remember. It was because Tolkien was disappointed that it was just a bunch of guys holding branched rather than actual trees that he invented the Ents. It seems Tolkien took a lot of inspiration from his disappointments in Shakespeare's writing...
That connection was half the reason I made the joke. XD

You truly nailed this it honestly feels like Ents are singing this song I can imagine even the disciplined ranks of the Uruk-hai cowering in terror as the Ents march upon them
This music should be on itunes. Supporting clamavi is the best thing ever
J.R.R. Tolkien would be proud of all the works you've done from him! Keep up the great work looking forward to the next Tolkien piece you make! The one Clamavi De Profundis to rule them all!
This is why it took them so long to have a discussion, they were writing this song.
Alternative Ent Marching Song:
We come, we come, with horn and drum
Ta-runa ta-runa ta-runa rum
To war, to war, for Moooordoor
With ashen bark, and darkened hearts
We sound our war, with Orcish hordes
To war, to war, to Gooondooor
To tree of life, ringed stone of white
With screeching Kings and dreaded Rings
A war, a war, to end Gondor
To crush Men's Hearts, to bring the Dark
So says our Lord, Lord of Mordor
Ta-runa ta-runa ta-runa run
We come, we come,
With doom, we come
With long, dead Kings
Our Cursed Rings

This song hardens my bones and strengthens my sinews. Thank you!
The Last March of the Ents was one of my favorite scenes in the movie, and it would have been so awesome to have had them singing this song while marching on Isengard. Because the only thing more terrifying then vengeful walking trees attacking you are vengeful singing walking trees attacking you.
Thank you for this. The Ents are my favourite race, but sadly they are underrated, almost forgotten.
Mark Tresztian well of course they’re almost forgotten, they are so ancient there are few who even remember they exist anymore due to their seclusion
i remember making a character called "The Lord of Dirt" a mad dwarf who self declared himself a lord and owner of all dirt so he when around enslaving ents
Mark Tresztian and the movies sorta made them seem not as wise and magical as they were in the book.
But if they were overrated, you ... wood also complain
Personally ents are second only to dwarves.
This should have been in the movies
"The ents go marching one by one hurrah hurrah..." some one had to do it
Ents: *this song*
Saruman: "Hey Grima, do you hear boss music?"
Grima: (Whispering) Master! All I hear is enough loose bowls to build a sod house!
My goodness, what a bass! I was expecting something with a bit more movement...and yet, because the Ents are never "hasty," I can see that even their battle-march wouldn't be too lively. Splendid. I'd love to hear it with a whole choir of heldentenors and Rachmaninoff-basses...

i spy with my little eye: a 9gagger :P
I have a principle I invented myself, which I like to call the "Forgettable Principle". Basically, it builds on a principle called Sturgeon's Law. It dictates that "90% of everything is crap". For every good work of art, fiction, music, whatever, there's at least nine others that are crap. My "Forgettable Principle" goes on to state that people don't remember crap, because it's, well, crap. Only the good stuff goes down in history. This means that there's this great filter of time and memory that erases all of the crappy parts of the past, making it seem like the past, for instance, only had great music, whereas music today is crap. It's not true. Music in the past was crap too, but you only remember the 10% that was actually good.
Gives me goosebumbs if hearing this song, especially after Gandalf said ""A thing is about to happen here that has not happened since the Elder Days. The Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong."
the ent scene is one of my favorite parts of the movies. yes, I have read the books.

I really like how it starts slow, and builds speed towards the end, much like how events were described in the book, Merry and Pippin being the first small stones that gradually build into a raging avalanche, the song indeed sounds as an avalanche might sing.
I want you to know how much I appreciate this channel..
Please never stop exploring music from middle Earth.
So I was reading the description, and it said that your family sang it. First off, what an awesome family. Second, daaaaaang you guys have some nice voices. Keep it up👍
It is said that it takes a long time to say anything in old Entish, so they don’t bother to say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
This is how the ents say ‘you don goofed’
I play sylvaneth in warhammer age of sigmar, and this song was part of why I picked them. Imagine an army of angry trees marching on your army and then suddenly, you just hear this low and haunting song.
Powerful and chilling but also somber and moving. I get goosebumps when I listen to it.
This song feels brave and sad at the same time. One of the best song from the Lord of the rings. Thank you for the awesome work!
Good god this gave me chills for the entire song. That was a breathtaking performance.
2:20 is my favourite part!
The tiny trumpet (or whatever it is) feels like now the smaller trees have joined the march of the loud and heavy ents.
I've been hearing this song on loop now :'D
Kinda wanted it to be "The Ents come marching one by one, hurrah! Hurrah!"
Was that a pun?
😂
Maybe for april fools day
I get that reference.
I got the reference lmao
I was fortunate enough to find about Clamavi de Profundis before reading LOTR and every time I get to a song or a poem in a book I listen to the composition that CDP made for it as I read it. It has been such an amazing experience so far!
the Ents go marching two by two hurrah, hurrah.
The Ents go marching two by two, the little hobbits stop to tie their shoe
And they all go marching now with a sound
Isengard on their brains.
Z: Why don't we try influencing the ents political processes through campaign contributions?
Next could you guys do Galadriel's Song of Eldamar? The one that she sang as the Fellowship left Lothlórien? The first line was "I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew"
Dear Hearts, I do not have enough words to tell you how much I love how you have captured the Ents marching....the long-simmering anger and rage that can no longer be contained. I feel like I march with Them. All Love
This is one of my favorite pieces that you all have done, I can't get enough of it. You achieved everything you set out to do based on the description. It pains me that you are unable to sell it as it is the best version of the song that I've ever heard, even over those Christopher Lee was involved with. When I hear it I can SEE the Ents marching, and I can FEEL their rage. Keep this up, and thank you so much for doing it. I love to sing along to your songs as well and I envy you for the pleasure of recording them. Your voices suit them so well.
This is why I don't cross the power of nature. In the end, the forests always win, which is why I pay my respects when hunting or camping.
Now I can listen to Tolkien's poems, my dreams came true
I'm in the middle of the Lord of the rings trilogy and just remembered this song. It just fits so well!
Eloquent, truly. Keep creating these masterpieces

vESPYY prolly
A bit late but imagine that in the far off distance you hear a sound akin to a thunder storm or a massive rock slide then as it gets closer and louder you feel the ground along with the wall or other structure your on start shaking like an earthquake and a forest seems to be coming towards you. Think of how much fear that would cause.
If I was aware of me being at the forrests wrath myself, I would rather jump into my own blade than wait for their inevetable arrival...
I wish someone could make an audiobook for "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", but with your songs in stead of the original ones. It would be awesome
That would make it so much easier to enjoy the songs without wondering what tune they would follow
the run of "To Isengard" to "the Furnace roars" is amazing and I cant stop hitting repeat.
Goosebumps every time
I can imagine anyone facing an army of angry ents would be screaming in terror
love lumbering around my house & pretending i'm swatting orcs aside while listening to this
Thank you for making ents even more badass than they already were in the movie. This is such a good song.
The harmony on the first "horn and drum" lyric was magical
I really appreciated the themes from the movie that were running through the background. It made it even more chilling.
I don't understand how you guys always craft such masterful pieces, but please don't stop!
Very appropriate song for the Ents you did great.
The bass in these vocals are deeper than the darkest trenches the ocean's abyss can possiby offer
Anybody else feeling a sense of ominous power bearing down when they listen to this? Cuz it’s EPIC!
perfect for listening while reading the book. I love it.
I am of the few who never read the lord of the rings or hobbits books, I was very young, nearly just born; as the first movie came out. The movies were the foundation for my love of Fantasy as a whole, and the ents assailed every thought I had of fantasy, and this song reminded me of the wonder I held then. From the heart of one who loves every word, and the race you've given voice for, I thank you.
Love that you have a version of this poem! It took some getting used to, but I really like the Ents now! Your Tolkien arrangements are the best!
