Actually toolucky, I believe there would be more influence from Norse mythology than Celtic, at least in LOTR. Tolkien was very heavily influenced by both cultures, but Norse took more prevalance than Celtic. If I remeber correctly, the elvish language was based on a mixture of Finnish and other languages. But back to the song, It doens't neccessarily have to be exclusively about the lord of the rings, it could just be any battle between good and evil. The vocals are extremely good, but I can't figure out who the other voice is (is it plant or jones?). By the end of the song, I just get this tingly feeling for listening to such a great song.
points to the word "ringwraiths" I'd say it's about LOTR. And what's funny is, the Elvish writing (not the spoken language, but the writing) appears to have been heavily influenced by Arabic. Just my thought.

@Grimson The late, great Sandy Denny, of Fairport Convention (British electric-folk group), is the other voice on tBoE, IIRC she was one of Plant’s favorite singers.
