Songs of our times that remind you of LOTR...

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Okay, I must post the lyrics to "Dante's Prayer" by Loreena McKennitt, and if you haven't heard it, then hie thee to a music store (or iTunes) and listen to it... but have tissues handy.


When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tiled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Thought you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

(chorus)Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

(chorus)

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

(chorus)

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Life this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We've rise above Earthly cares

(chorus)
Please remember me... please remember me (repeats until fully faded)
