THEODEN



MY HEIR-DAUGHTER

MY HEIR-SON

IT SEEMS NOW

THE ENDS BEFUN,

BUT DO NOT FEAR

IF THIS WAR SHOULD

LEAD TO MY END.



FOR I AM OLD

MY SUMMERS GONE,

AND I LEAVE YOU

TO CARRY ON.

YOU ARE THE BEST

OF WHAT IVE DONE

AND WHO IVE BEEN.



LET OTHERS TAKE

MY THRONE, MY CROWN,

INVADE MY HALL

AND CAST IT DOWN,

FOR WIN OR LOSE

THE WORLD IS CHANGED

FROM AGES PAST.



BUT WHEN I LOOK

INTO YOUR EYES

AND I FIND LOVE

THAT NEVER DIES,

I AM A KING,

LORD OF A REALM

THAT EVER LASTS.



I HOPE I LEAD MORE THAN I RULE.

MORE IS A KING, LESS IS A FOOL.

WITH PRIDE AND JOY I ONCE MORE LEAD THESE MEN

WITH LOVE FOR THIS LAND I MAY NOT SEE AGAIN.



SOLDIERS



WE RIDE FOR KING

AND FOR THIS LAND.

HE NEED BUT ASK.

THERES NO COMMAND.

WE DO NOT FEAR.

OUR LIVES WE PLEDGE

TO BRAVELY GIVE.



LET TRUMPETS SOUND

LET HERALDS SING.

WE RIDE WITH HOPE

BEHIND OUR KING.

ROHAN WILL KNOW

WHEN WE HAVE DIED

THAT WE HAVE LIVED.



SOLDIER (SOLO)



FAREWELL MY LOVE.

GOODBYE MY SON.

I SHALL RETURN

WHEN WAR IS DONE.

BUT SHOULD I FALL

KNOW THAT I FELL

THINKING OF YOU.



AND WHEN I REST
