The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Soundtrack - 19. Gollum's Song

The viewer sees Smeagol aka Gollum debating among his two beings as to what he should do about the Hobbits and the Ring. He cannot live without the Ring, that is clear. But he knows if he betrays the Hobbits he will be sent away. This song is sung by Emiliana Torrini. Her voice lends a beauty to the song, but also showcases Gollum's treachery.

The song and the soundtrack finish up with the majestic Lord of the Rings piece which is a highlight of the three CDs and is played throughout the closing credits that finishes the second film.

Lyrics:

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home

So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home
You are lost
You can never go home
