Against all Orcs

Bei diesem Lied hatte ich zunächst die Idee für den Titel - und habe danach zunächst längere Zeit das Web durchsucht. Das ist doch so nahe liegend, , dass es bestimmt schon jemand anderes gemacht hat! Da ich aber nichts fand, habe ich es selbst geschrieben.

Wir befinden uns am Rand von Mordor, zwei Hobbits sind am Ende ihrer Kräfte, und sie fragen sich, wie sie die letzte Etappe ihrer Reise schaffen sollen.

Against all Orcs

Original: Against All Odds (Phil Collins)

Text: Daniela Festi (2012)

Frodo: Why can’t we just leave and walk away?

Just go and leave without a trace?

When the Dark is taking every breath from me, ooh

He’s the only one who really knows me at all

How can I just keep on walking here

When is Sauron’s Eye all I see

Cause my soul is dark and full of pain

Why did Gandalf said to me:

“You’re the only one who can bear the ring at all”?

So take a look at me now,

'cause there's just an empty space

and there's nothing left here to remind me

Just the memories of this race

Take a look at me now,

'cause there's just an empty space

Bringing back the ring is against all orcs

and that is what I’ve got to face

Sam: I wish I could just make a turn-around

Turn around and go back home

There's so much I miss, I barely stand

thinking ‘bout the Shire.

But you’re the one who can bear the ring at all.

So take a look at me now, 'cause I am no empty space

And I’m still left here to remind you

Of the purpose of this race.

Take a look at me now, 'cause I am still standing here

Going on with you is all I can do, so let’s go to the final race.

Take a good look at me now, 'cause we are still standing here.

Bringing back the ring is against all orcs

and that is what we’ve got to face.

Just take a look at me now.
