Hallelujahs

by teirrah

Song parodies, mostly to the tune of Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright, but some are of songs such as 'Be a Man' from Disney's Mulan. They are based on characters in the books and films: The Lord of the Rings. I wrote them with my friend Tia.

5. Hallelujah: Legolas' Song

Legolas; In the Shadows (Hallelujah)

I knew there was a secret spell,

To drive the love from Rivendell,

But no one ever though this would be true.

It goes like this; 'Amon Iel, Mornië, Nimrodel'

Then coldness will be woken in the shadows.

In the Shadows In the Shadows

In the Shadows In the Shadows

I've been told it's dead but there is no proof

That whispered words escape no tooth,

But the moonlight is telling me to believe.

I tried to feel, I really did,

But in the end there was a bid,

Between the evils living in the shadows.

In the Shadows In the Shadows

In the Shadows In the Shadows

Maybe it's been here before,

Living like a silent gore,

Maybe it has been here since the dawning.

The elven king's forbidden task,

Did they fail? I dare not ask,

For my soul is being drawn into the shadows.

In the Shadows In the Shadows

In the Shadows In the Shadows

There was a time when all would grow,

Like nature at a beauty show,

But now all I can see is a dead world.

I remember when I heard those words,

They flew as high as the highest birds,

And innocence just melted into shadow.

In the Shadows In the Shadows

In the Shadows In the Shadows

Maybe there's a counter verse,

Or will trying just make it worse,

Why won't the answer lay itself before me?

Is there a way? Can it be done?

Will I fail before I've begun?

Or can I push away the baneful shadows?

In the Shadows In the Shadows

In the Shadows In the Shadows

In the Shadows In the Shadows

In the Shadows In the Shadows.
