No, your ears aren’t tricking you. A specific niche Lord of the Rings Easter egg was consisted of in the most recent episode of The Rings of Power– and it’s a good reward for us geeks.
In The Rings of Power season 2 episode 4, Elrond and his soldiers are assaulted by a ruthless group of Barrow-Wights. If you listen carefully, the necromancy, “Cold be hand and heart and bone” is being sung over ball game.
The complete necromancy is as follows: “Cold be hand and heart and bone, and cold be sleep under stone: never ever more to wake on stony bed, never ever, till the Sun stops working and the Moon is dead. In the black wind the stars will pass away, and still on gold here let them lie, till the dark lord raises his turn over dead sea and withered land.”
This is recited in the chapter, “Fog on the Barrow-downs,” which is the 8th chapter of the very first part of the unique The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings. In the chapter, a barrow-wight sings this after it traps Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry.

It’s a cool Easter egg, particularly considered that the last time we heard it in a live-action Tolkien endeavor was The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Gollum strangely recites a couple of lines, though with the words altered simply a bit: “Cold be heart and hand and bone, cold be tourists far from home, they do not see what lies ahead when sun has actually stopped working and moon is dead.”
Tolkien geeks have actually won yet once again. Everybody state, “Thank you Bear McCreary.”
