Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship
The City of Prague Philharmonic Lyrics

Where once was light
The bright and hopeful past has now been overshadowed by darkness and despair.

Now darkness falls
The world has become a bleak and threatening place.

Where once was love
The love and compassion that once existed has vanished completely.

Love is no more
There is no longer any affection or kindness to be found.

Don't say - goodbye
There is a desire to stay together and not part ways.

Don't say - I didn't try...
Despite the adversity faced, efforts were made to preserve what once was.

These tears we cry
The sadness and grief that is being experienced is manifesting physically as tears.

Are falling rain
Tears are like rain that falls from the sky, uncontrollable and with no end in sight.

For all the lies
The source of the pain and hurt is the deceit and falsehoods that were told.

You told us
The person who caused the hurt and pain was the one who was responsible for telling the lies in question.

The hurt, the blame
The damage caused by the lies is still present and is being attributed to the liar.

And we will weep
The sadness and grief felt is so overwhelming that tears must be shed.

To be so alone
The isolation and loneliness felt is profound and unbearable.

We are lost
There is no sense of direction or purpose, and the future is unknown and frightening.

We can never go home
The place of safety and comfort that once existed has been lost forever.

So in the end
Ultimately, when everything is said and done...

I will be what I will be
The artist is resigning themselves to the unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of their future.

No loyal friend
Throughout all of the struggles and hardships, there was no one who could be trusted and relied upon without hesitation.

Was ever there for me
The singer was alone and had to navigate life's challenges without the support of others.

Now we say - goodbye
The decision has been made to part ways, and the farewell is now being offered.

We say - you didn't try...
There is a sense of unfairness and blame being placed upon the other party for not putting in enough effort to make things work.

These tears you cry
The other party is now experiencing the same sadness and grief that the artist had previously been feeling.

Have come too late
The efforts to make amends and patch things up are now seen as futile, as the time for fixing things has passed.

Take back the lies
The other party is now being asked to acknowledge and correct the lies that were told in the past.

The hurt, the blame
The other party must take responsibility for the pain and damage that was caused by their deceit.

And you will weep
The sorrow and regret that is being experienced is so overwhelming that tears must be shed.

When you face the end alone
The inevitable conclusion that everyone must face is death, and this other party will be left to confront that inevitability all by themselves.

You are lost
Without a sense of direction or purpose, the other party will be adrift and unsure of where they are going.

You can never go home
The comforting and familiar place that once existed will never be able to be found or experienced again.
