RIDDLE: What is alive without ever taking a breath...?

[peanut]

Here's the full riddle (it's a song): Alive without ever taking taking a breath; alive but feels cold as death. Never thirsty, ever drinking, all in mail* never clinking!

*mail- armor, chain mail; makes lots of noise

Right, so if you can solve it... If you give up and want to know the answer, star the question! Good luck!
Holy crap; so many stars! I won't say the answer yet, but Meef was right! It is from The Hobbit!
