Story behind the song

Theoden King: "Farewell sister-daughter!  Dark is the hour, yet maybe we will return to the Golden Hall..."

Eowyn: "A year shall I endure for every day that passes until your return." 'But as she spoke her eyes whent to Aragorn.'

'....the last host of Rohan rode thundering into the West.'

 'Far over the plain Eowyn saw the glitter of their spears, as she stood still, alone before the doors of the silent house.'

Lyrics

I heard the songs of the Riders
at the break of day,
I saw the sun on their spears
as they rode away;
they are riding to their glory
while I stand with empty hands…
 
Where now is Theodred,
valiant but slain?
Where now is Theoden--
shall he come again?
And Aragorn?
Shall all be torn from me,
as I wait to mourn?
 
Alone I walk in the valley
where my cousin lies,
Alone I kneel in the mist
who will hear my sighs?
yet, Rohan's final story
I will sing in the Golden Hall…
 
Where now is Theodred,
valiant but slain?
Where now is Theoden--
shall he come again
And Aragorn?
Shall all be torn from me
as I wait to mourn?
 
I will not forget, oh
I will weave songs of the Riddermark
‘til all is too dark
for regret
 
Where now is Theodred,
valiant but slain?
Where now is Theoden--
shall he come again?
And Aragorn?
Shall all be torn from me
as I wait to mourn?
