Lord of the Rings - Galadriel Act
I saw the golden gleam Reflected in the stream It whispered what I could become A queen upon a burning throne All shall love me and despair The words hung burning in the air And the world grew small around the ring And the dark spoke softly, promising I will diminish into the West Leave the flame and all the rest What is power but a chain of gold I will diminish and grow old In the light, in the light Where no shadow holds Three ages I have walked this land With starlight falling through my hand I led them through the golden wood And guarded what was good and good But even I can feel the call The hunger that could take it all And the world grew small around the ring And the dark spoke softly, promising I will diminish into the West Leave the flame and all the rest What is power but a chain of gold I will diminish and grow old In the light, in the light Where no shadow holds "Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen Beautiful and terrible as the dawn Stronger than the foundations of the earth..." Galadriel... But I choose the grey rain The white ship, the far shore I choose to be water Not fire anymore I will diminish into the West Leave the flame and all the rest What is power but a chain of gold I will diminish and grow old In the light, in the light Where no shadow holds I am water now... I am water now...
