South Away is the second track of the album Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame by the band Summoning. The lyrics are based upon the poem Roll-roll-roll-roll, which is found in The Hobbit.[1] Other references include words spoken by Saruman to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings,[2] and the toast to the new King of Rohan, Éomer.[3]
Lyrics
Leave the halls and caverns deep
Were the forests wide and dim
Stoops in shadow grey and grim
Float beyond the world of trees
Past the rushes, past the reeds
Past the marshes, weaving weeds
"[...] and the crowns of seven kings, and the rods of the Five Wizards."
South away! South away now!
Far away seek the sunlight and the day.
Hail, Éomer, king of the mark.
