Lesson from King Theoden
It's disillusioning to see someone that you have once respected and looked up to degenerate into someone that fills you with dread and revulsion. When Sauron used his evil influence in the form of Wormtongue to weaken Theoden, Rohan fell to ruin. Only Gandalf was able to exorcise the evil and restore the kingdom together with the brave Riders of Rohan who were exiled and had defended their kingdom from afar. It must have been very trying and difficult for the loyal subjects to witness the King on his road to ruin and not being able to do anything about it.
Would I be able to find out the Wormtongue and restore sanity to the reign? Or shall I just ride it out in exile for the sake of my sanity?
In times like these, only Within Temptation's inspiration will do.
Pale by Within Temptation
The world seems not the same,
Though I know nothing has changed.
It's all my state of mind,
I can't leave it all behind.
Have to stand up to be stronger.
Have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can't say goodbye,
Have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
In the end it's worthwhile,
That the pain that I feel slowly fades away.
It will be alright.
I know, should realize
Time is precious, it is worthwhile.
Despite how I feel inside,
Have to trust it'll be all right.
Have to stand up to be stronger.
Oh, this night is too long.
Have no strength to go on.
No more pain, I'm floating away.
Through the mist I see the face
Of an angel, who calls my name.
I remember you're the reason I have to stay.

Wow full instrumental tracks as well - although I don't foresee myself listening to Nightwish without vocals. It's pricier than the regular edition which costs US$14 on Amazon, but it's only gonna be released in Oct. Thanks for the link! :)
