ONE RING musical - THEODENS ANTHEM lyrics

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
BENEA
