1The end has come; why can't they see?
There's nothing left in this world for me.
My sons are gone, my friends are far;
What hope for Gondor can there be?
So long ago I heard his voice,
So proud, so strong and brave.
Not long ago his horn came to me;
The river is now his grave.
O Boromir! Why did I send thee
To travel to lands afar?
Your place was always at my side,
Your people here to guard.
So much did I then mourn your death,
I sent your brother to his own.
I didn't see the tears in his eyes
As he left me all alone.
O Faramir! Why did I send thee
To join your brother in rest?
You were always ready to serve and protect
The country and people you loved the best.
My hopes have fled; now I leave this life.
I shall see my sons once more.
Boromir! Faramir! I go to your side!
Welcome your father home.
There's nothing left in this world for me.
