Yes, the references to the Lord of the Rings are apparent.
But like the Vikings "from the land ice and snow" in the "Immigrant Song"....there is a deeper level also to these lyrics.

The "Overlords" there also refer to a previous angelic civilization, a war in heaven causing it's destruction and the remnants of which are found controlling every nation on ancient earth before it was left to mortal men, and "our" written history began.
The Bible warned men not to worship these "hosts of heaven".

"The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know."

This is also refenced here ..."I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow"
"Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone."
A comong change of dispensations.

The dawning of a new day, a 1000 year millienia in which the true "Prince of Peace" who embraced the gloom alone for us all, shall have His government set up here and rule the Earth "with a rod of iron" in open sight of all...

But beware first there shall come an "impersonation".

"At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes."

The dragon of darkness, the present god of this earth blinds our spiritual sight with the natural light of the sun. All we percievce with our natural senses are subject this deception, which is only an upside down, inside out anti-type of the real.

Before the coming age of peace, the nations are told to "beat their spears and swords into plows and hoe's"

There will be a thousand years of peace and then according to the conditions of the "contest" in the Bible.

But after that 1000 years of enforced peace on the earth.... war breaks out and the cycle starts again.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
