The Passing Of Théoden

by Howard Shore

on The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King - The Complete Recordings (Limited Edition) (2003)

Of dreccunga, of dimnesse tó dæges úpgange.
Hé singende rád in sunnan, sweord bregdende.
Hé hyht eft onaelede and in hyhte geendode
Ofer edunga, ofer ege, ofer orlæge úp áhafen
Of lyre, of lífe, tó langum wuldre.

[translation: Out of doubt, out of dark, to the day's rising
He rode singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
Hope he rekindled, and in hope ended;
Over death, over dread, over doom lifted,
Out of loss, out of life, unto long glory.]
