In Dreams (featured in The Breaking of theFellowship)

When the cold of winter comesStarless night will cover day

In the veiling of the sunWe will walk in bitter rain

But in dreamsI can hear your name

And in dreamsWe will meet again

When the seas and mountains fallAnd we come to end of days

In the dark I hear a callCalling me there

I will go thereAnd back again

May It BeMay it be an evening star

Shines down upon youMay it be when darkness falls

Your heart will be trueYou walk a lonely road

Oh how far you are from home

Mornië utúlië [darkness has come]Believe and you will find your way

Mornië alantië [darkness has fallen]A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's callWill fly away

May it be you journey onTo light the day

When the night is overcomeYou may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië [darkness has come]Believe and you will find your way

Mornië alantië [darkness has fallen]A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now

You are not bound to loss and silence.For you are not bound to the circles of this world.

Gollum's SongWhere once was light

Now darkness fallsWhere once was love

Love is no more

Don't say -- goodbyeDon't say -- I didn't try...

These tears we cryAre falling rainFor all the lies

You told usThe hurt, the blame!

And we will weepTo be so alone

We are lost!We can never go home

So in the endI will be -- what I will be

No loyal friendWas ever there for me

Now we say -- goodbyeWe say -- you didn't try...

These tears you cryHave come too lateTake back the lies

The hurt, the blame!

And you will weepWhen you face the end alone

You are lost!You can never go home

I saw a star rise high in the Evening sky,

It hung like a jewel, Softly shining.

I saw a star fade in the Evening sky,

The dark was too deep and so light died, Softly pining.

For what might have been, For what never was. For a life, long lived For a love half given

There is no other way.One of you must take it,

One of you must pay.

Aragorn's Coronation (featured in TheReturn of the King)

Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come.In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.

Pippin's Song (featured in The Steward ofGondor)

Home is behindThe world ahead

And there are many paths to treadThrough shadow

To the edge of nightUntil the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow



Mist and shadowCloud and shade

All shall fadeAll shall fade

Note: in the movie, the second-to-last line is definitely "All shall fade." In the soundtrack, it may be"Hope shall fail."

Into the WestLay down

Your sweet and weary headNight is falling

You have come to journey's end

Sleep nowDream -- of the ones who came before

They are callingFrom across a distant shore

Why do you weep?What are these tears upon your face?

Soon you will seeAll of your fears will pass away

Safe in my armsYou're only sleeping

What can you seeOn the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the seaA pale moon rises

The ships have comeTo carry you home

Dawn will turn to silver glassA light on the water

All souls pass

Hope fadesInto the world of night

Through shadows fallingOut of memory and time

Don't sayWe have come now to the end

White shores are callingYou and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my armsJust sleeping

What can you seeOn the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the seaA pale moon rises

The ships have comeTo carry you home

And all will turn to silver glassA light on the water

Grey ships passInto the West
