Middle Earth & Narnia (song)

Song: Middle Earth & Narnia
Music, Lyrics & Voices: Ai

[verse1]
Beneath the eaves of the Hobbit's home,
where green hills softly sleep,
a hidden door, of wood and stone,
holds secrets dark and deep.

Not carved by dwarves, nor forged by elves,
but born of a whisper's thread,
it answers to a different myth,
to a different life, long-bled.

[verse2]
An iron lamppost's quiet glow,
a patch of endless snow,
a world where fauns and talking beasts,
by Aslan's grace may go.

The scent of pine, the freezing air,
the sound of sleigh bells near,
a promise of a winter's end,
and a spring to banish fear.

[verse3]
In Narnia, a whisper soft,
a tremor in the wood,
a rumor carried on the breeze,
half-understood.

Of trees that walk, and mountains tall,
a Shadow in the East,
a ring that calls, and dark desires,
that grow with its deceit.

[verse4]
Then, a flicker, and the wood is gone,
the lamppost fades away,
a green hobbit-door, once closed,
greets the dawning Shire day.

And in the Shire, a strange new breeze,
on the winding hobbit path,
carries a hint of ancient song,
and a lion's righteous wrath.

[verse5]
A Ring-bearer, with burdened heart,
feels a sudden, foreign light,
a glimpse of magic, simple, pure,
beyond the dreadful night.

A king of Gondor, on his throne,
sees a lion's golden mane,
and feels the touch of grace renew,
his weary, burdened reign.

[verse6]
The hidden door, a silent pulse,
between the light and gray,
it whispers truths of different myths,
that meet along the way.

A hobbit dreams of noble quests,
of battles bravely fought,
a Narnian child of silent lands,
by ancient legends sought.

[verse7]
Lewis' stories reaching ears,
and Tolkien's myth can find
a path to truth in ancient tales,
that speak to all mankind.

And through the door, two worlds entwine,
in dreams of those who seek,
the hobbit-courage, small and true,
and the Lion's mercy meek.
