The Passing of the Grey Company is the third track of the album Minas Morgul by the band Summoning. The song name is taken from the chapter of the same name in The Return of the King. The lyrics directly reference Aragorn taking the Paths of the Dead, including the Grey Company, Stone of Erech, and Oathbreakers.
Lyrics
Over the land there lies a long shadow,
westward reaching wings of darkness.
The tower trembles,to the tombs of kings
doom approaches.The dead awaken,
for the hour is come for the oathbreakers;
at the stone of Erech they shall stand again
and hear there a horn in the hills ringing.
Whose shall the horn be? Who shall call them
from grey twilight,the forgotten people?
the heir of him to whom the oath they swore.
From the North shall he come,need shall drive him.
He shall pass the door to the path of the dead.
On your knees...
The grey company is arriving now...
