[time] => 2004-03-18 21:57:14
[hometext] => This song inspired by the LOTR movie version of the Battle of the Hornsburg, however, it can apply to any war at any time in history.
[bodytext] => It speaks of the loss of those left behind. Song set to Dark Isle MIDI can be found at www.tadpole.mytunebook.de/tunes/xtracelt/darkisle.mid Listed with permission Song of Lament Over the mountains From the sea The land stretched out Too far to see The land runs red The enemy bold Twas all proclaimed, Prophesies old. The sky does cry Its tears rain down Falls on the dead Lying on the ground Its sorrow soothes Down from above Cov’ring the lost The ones I love Weep not for me Always I’ve known I’ll sacrifice My life, my own I’ll never see Thy sons again They lie beneath The Sylvan glen Now rest, my love Your pain is stayed Your sleeping place A stone-cold grave The peoples freed They count the lost Evil repelled But, what a cost! Back to the west My pain I flee The price too great It wears on me Immortal love I’ve never sought I now will die My chosen lot Now hie away The gray boats sail I grasp for peace But to no avail The only thing Can mend my heart To know in death We’ll never part.
