Alfrewyn's "Theme/Battle Song"



I have thought much about what song would fit Alfrewyn's story and future.  Who is she and what will she become.

I then came across a song which I believe works well between the connection of her grandfather, whom she has lived most of her life with, and her return home to Rohan.

Blackmore's Night - Village Lanterne

Lyrics:

Olde Village Lanterne

Don't shed a tear for me
I stand alone
This path of destiny
Is all my own
Once in the hands of fate
There is no choice
An echo on the wind
You'll hear my voice...

Some choose to fall behind
Some choose to lead
Some choose a golden path
Laden with greed
But it’s the noble heart
That makes you strong
And in that heart, I'm with you all along...

*The olde village lanterne
Is calling me onward
Leading wherever I roam
The olde village lanterne
A light in the dark
Bringing me closer to home...

So when you think of me
Do so with pride
Honor and bravery
Ruled by my side
And in your memory
I will remain
I will forever be within the flame...

Now at the journey's end
We've traveled far
And all we have to show

Are battle scars
But in the love we shared
We will transcend
And in that love, our journey never ends...

Don't shed a tear for me
I stand alone

This path of destiny
Is all my own
Once in the hands of fate
There is no choice
An echo on the wind
You'll hear my voice... (x4)
