Disclaimer: I do not own any LOTR quotes...
At the end of all things
Fire and ash
Smoke and dust
The air is thick
Swirling dense
Heavy with shadow
And pain
Sorrow and anger
Grief, shame
Children screaming
Mothers weeping
Soldiers creeping
Towards the line
That separates
Life and death
Courage...
Courage for our friends...
I see in your eyes
The same fear
That would take the heart
Of me
The day may come
When the courage of men fails
When we forsake our friends
And break all bonds of fellowship
But it is not this day
An hour of wolves
And shattered shields
When the age of men
Comes crashing down
But it is not this day
This day
We fight
By all that you hold dear
On this good earth
I bid you stand
Men of the west...
You ride to war
But not to victory
We cannot achieve it
Through strength of arms
But we can still give others a chance
We cannot defeat them
But we will meet them in battle
Nonetheless
Much must be risked
In war
Is there still a captain here
Who is ready
To do his lord's will?
Even the smallest person
Can change the course of the future
What is to come
In the days that lie before us
I would have followed you
To the end
My captain...
My brother...my king
Every path you have trod
Through wilderness
Through war
Has led to this road
Darkness
All around us
Always there
Reminding us
Of death
Of doom
And the fate of our time
Of what is to come
If we should fail
Whispering
Nameless fears
A sore day
A red day
Ere the sun rises
You will live to see
These days renewed
I am going to save you
And there will be
No more despair
Splintered spears
Broken shields
In a world where
War reigns
And hope seems
To fade
Away
Into black clouds
The cry of death
The cruel blade
Of the end
Of our people
All I see is fire
Then let us be rid of it
Once
And for all
Our friends are out there
They cannot fight this war
On their own
You are young and brave
But your part in this tale
Is over
There can be no victory
Without sacrifice
No joy
Without sorrow
And no gain
Without loss
My friends...
You bow to no-one
I do not know
What strength is in
My blood
But we cannot let our city fall
Nor our people fail
I would have you
Smile again
And not grieve
For those
Whose time
Has come
Even when
All must pass
Into the west
One day, we will meet again
In our waking dreams
But it is not now
There are some hurts
That go too deep
That time cannot mend
How can you pick up the past
When your heart
Is beginning to understand
That there is
No turning back
Here at last
Upon the shores of the sea
We bid our farewells
To ones we have come
To love
And the end draws near
Yet in our hearts
We are all eternally bound
By friendship and love
I will not say
Do not weep
For not all tears are evil
Not all farewells
Are forever
What are we holding on to
That there is
Some good in this world
And it's worth
Fighting for
A new day will come
And with it strength
To fight for what you believe in
Farewell
I go to find the sun
To bring good tidings
Songs of joy
And hope
I'm glad you're with me
Here at the end
Of all things
