( Malbeth's the Seer's Words

Burial Song of Theoden

At Theoden's Death )



Over the land there lies

the long shadow. Westward reaching

wings of darkness; The Tower trembles

to the tombs of kings



The doom approaches

the Dead awaken;

For the hour is come

for the oathbreakers

At the stone of Erech

they shall stand again

Hear there horn in hills enchants

Who shall call them

From grey twilight

Forgotten ones?



Out of doubt, out of dark

Hope rekindles, and hope in end

Over death, over dread

Over doom lifted

Out of loss, out of life

And out of doubt, out of dark

Over death, over dread

Out of loss,

Unto a long glory...



The heir of him to whom the oath they swore

From the North he shall come

And he shall pass the door

To the Paths of the Dead



Mourn not overmuch - mighty was the fallen

And war now calls us!

...repeat above 7 lines...



...repeat from the beginning...

And hear there horn in hills ringing

Who shall call them

from grey twilight



...further goes the same...
