The album, usually referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, features yet another song inspired by Lord of the Rings, alluding to the epic Battle of Pelennor Fields that takes place in the final book of the saga.

Therefore, the legacy of Led Zeppelin owes much to the creator of the Lords of the Rings, for his characters and stories are the fabric from which their lyrics are sewn. Plant was known to shout his name in concerts after specific songs, as if it was a battle cry of some sort.
