In Les Miserables there is a song that makes me think of Helm's Deep. I don't know the title but here are some of the words:
Did you see them going off to fight?
Children of the barricades who didn't last the night
Did you see them lying where they died?
Someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried
Did you see them lying side by side?
Who will wake them?
No one ever will
No one ever told them that a summer's day can kill
They were schoolboys, never held a gun
fighting for a new world that would rise up like the sun
Where's the new world now the fighting's done?
