The Breaking of the Fellowship

Verse 1 By the river’s edge, we said goodbye, Brothers partin’ under a broken sky, One walks east, another turns west, That circle of fire won’t let us rest. Verse 2 The bond we carried is torn in two, Dreams of the Shire feel far from true, Every man now bears his weight, Walkin’ alone toward a heavy fate. Chorus Oh, the fellowship is fallin’, Scattered by the wind, Oh, the fellowship is callin’, But we can’t go back again. Verse 3 Echoes fade in the forest deep, The promises we made too hard to keep, The road runs wide, the path turns cold, Friendship lost to the ring’s strong hold. Verse 4 The night grows darker, the fire burns low, Where this journey ends, no man can know, A brother’s hand I can’t still find, We’re breakin’ apart, leavin’ all behind. Bridge Keep on walkin’, boy, don’t look back, The ties are broken on this one-way track. Chorus Oh, the fellowship is fallin’, Scattered by the wind, Oh, the fellowship is callin’, But we can’t go back again.
