Awaiting

My home once stood

A forest of silver and gold

Shelter, warmth and food

It offered to all, young and old, weak and bold

T'was the fortress of the brave

the throne of the wise

Tall and brave, he stood

My Elven King of Mirkwood

I would have followed him to the grave

Without a thought twice

The stars have faded

My people all jaded

Boarding the ship, they have sailed

Leaving for distant shores in the hope they'll be hailed

Upon this soil, I alone lie in wait

Whatever shall be my fate

For without my King

I cannot hear the Sea beckoning
