"Into the West"
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
Dream -- of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say we have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
The journey ends... There can be no triumph without loss... No victory without suffering... No freedom without sacrifice..."
"I see in your eyes the same fear that would withtake the heart of me... A day may come when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowships but it is not this day...This day we fight!"
"I can't carry the Ring for you, but I can carry you!"
