Week 181 - Theme
Whew now that LJ is working again (wtc LJ srsly?) and I am no longer suffering from a headache, I bring you your new theme! It'll be open until the 23rd, just to get us back on track :D
So in honor of all The Hobbit stuff that is popping up on my Tumblr and making me quite excited, here are two songs from the Lord of the Rings soundtracks!
Remember to ask if you have any questions, and let me know if you see anything wrong!

Into the West by Annie Lennox
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You've come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
[Chorus]
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say: «We have come now to the end»
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
[Chorus]
And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
Gollum's Song by Emiliana Torrini
Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say -- goodbye
Don't say -- I didn't try...
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost!
We can never go home
So in the end
I will be -- what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
Now we say -- goodbye
We say -- you didn't try...
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost!
You can never go home
