The Rider

(Song from “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim”)

You ask, “Who’ll answer? In need who’ll come?”
When the last line is broken, when the day is all but done
Heo is se wind, heo is se wind
You are the wind that will carry them home

When fire burns low, turns into smoke, when all the songs are sung
Remember those and all who rode to battles lost and won
I know the fear you have inside, let hope below the doubt
With dark [nighs?], be the light when all of the lights go out

You ask, “Who’ll answer? In need who’ll come?”
When the last line is broken, when the day is all but done
It’s you, your name they’re calling, from the deep they will rise
Go forth and they will follow, time to fight, it’s time to ride
Heo is se wind, heo is se wind
You are the wind that will carry them home

Oh, rise now, o rider, oh, rise with the dawn
You don’t know what fate awaits, but know you’re not alone

Heo is se wind, heo is se wind
You are the wind that will carry them home
Ride now for ruin, ride for your kin
Take up your shield, maiden, and ride till the world’s end
