"Who tied my hands to the wheel? The zodiac turns over me
Somewhere there my fate revealed - I hear but how will I see"

It's from a Nightwish song called "The Siren". Wonderful song, great lyrics.

I liked this one because of the attitude toward reputation which is a lot like it is here on the Downs, and also because of the day of death thing which goes right along with the morbid theme. But I got tired of it.

I'm still leaving the other one up because it's not ready to come down yet.

3. Sauron: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.

4. Éomer: Is it just me, or does he keep talking, like we're listening or something?

5. Beacon man #1: How did we get stuck with this job anyway?

6. Merry: Raised to the ground? Isn't that an oxymoron?

7. Aragorn: But it’s near the water. I’m afraid of the water.

8. Boromir: I'm just here for the refreshments.

9. Faramir: In place of a dark lord, you will have a QUEEN! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the...

10. Faramir: Uh . . . Orcs killed him?
