A tolling bell rings its song of sorrow
As I sit by your side
Unmoving, I shall not leave
I feel your soul start upon its journey
Up to the stars you once loved
And I feel that all has left me
Now you are gone
I wander through the forests of eternity
Forever lost and searching
For that love I lost so long ago
I see your shadow beyond the light
And call out to you
A whisper moves through the woods
And you are gone
I took a life of mortality
For you, the one I love
I forsook the gift of my people
To spend my days with you, my one and only King
But now your battles are but a memory
Fading into myth and song
And I am alone
Why did I not sail away upon the ships
To a life with no pain, or sorrow, or war
To a land across the western sea
Why did I not leave with my brethren and kin
And leave the fields, and rivers, and forests
That now are ruled by the race of men
Of which you once belonged
But now, even as I die of sorrow
I regret not that promise
That gift that was mine to give
For I still love you
And I shall when the worlds crumble
Still hear your voice
Echoing on the wind
As I sit by your side
Unmoving, I shall not leave
I feel your soul start upon its journey
Up to the stars you once loved
And I feel that all has left me
Now you are gone
I wander through the forests of eternity
Forever lost and searching
For that love I lost so long ago
I see your shadow beyond the light
And call out to you
A whisper moves through the woods
And you are gone
I took a life of mortality
For you, the one I love
I forsook the gift of my people
To spend my days with you, my one and only King
But now your battles are but a memory
Fading into myth and song
And I am alone
Why did I not sail away upon the ships
To a life with no pain, or sorrow, or war
To a land across the western sea
Why did I not leave with my brethren and kin
And leave the fields, and rivers, and forests
That now are ruled by the race of men
Of which you once belonged
But now, even as I die of sorrow
I regret not that promise
That gift that was mine to give
For I still love you
And I shall when the worlds crumble
Still hear your voice
Echoing on the wind
