The Fallen
Hé laered hine rídanAnd wealdan méceAnd standan fæstAnd féond ne forhtian.Nú hé sceal leornianthæt hearde sóth:Hé raerede his cnapaOf cilde tó mennthæt hé his déath geséo.
Sé féond wæs simble mid heom.Sé féond ne reccede ege.
Howard Shore "The Fallen" lyrics
The Fallen
He taught him to ride,To wield a sword.To stand strongAnd show his enemy no fear.Now he must learnThe hard truth:That he had brought his boyFrom childhood.So that he might face his death like a man.
The enemy was always with them.The enemy did not care about fear.
