For some reason this really reminds me of Gandalf reading the Dwarves book in the Mines of Moria, same sense of dread.

"They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes... Drums. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark... We cannot get out... They are coming."

One ring to rule them all.
