[FRIS]

There are moments that the words don’t reach

There is suffering too terrible to name

You hold your child as tight as you can

And push away the unimaginable

The moments when you’re in so deep

It feels easier to just swim down

[EREBOR CITIZENS]

The Lady Dis moves up north

And learns to live with the unimaginable

[DIS]

I spend hours in the smithy.

I walk alone through the stores.

And it’s quiet up north

…I never liked the quiet before.

I tend to their graves on Sundays

A sign to Mahal at the door

Then I pray…that never used to happen before

[FRIS/ FEMALE CITIZENS]

If you see her in the halls

Walking by herself, talking by herself

Have pity.

[DIS]

Nidoyith, did you like it up north?

Was it quiet up north?

[CITIZENS]

She is working through the unimaginable.

[MALE DWARVES]

Her hair is gone grey.  She passes every day.

They say she walks the length of the city.

[DIS]

You knock me out, I fall apart.

[CITIZENS]

Can you imagine?

[THORIN FROM MAHAL’S HALLS]

Look at where you are, look at where you started.

I know I don’t deserve this, my sister

But hear me out: that would be enough.

If I could spare their lives!

If I could trade their lives for mine!

They’d be standing there right now.

And you would smile, that would be enough.

…I don’t pretend to know, the challenges you’re facing

I know there’s no replacing what you’ve lost, and you need time.

But I’m not afraid.  I know you, namadith.

[looks to Gimli] Just let him stay here by your side.

…That would be enough.

[CITIZENS]

If you see him in the street.

Walking by her side, talking by her side.

Have pity.

[GIMLI]

Aunt Dis, do you like it up north?

It’s quiet up north.

[CITIZENS]

He is trying to do the unimaginable.

See them walking through the park, long after dark

Taking in the sights of the city.

[THRAIN]

Look around, look around! Oh, nathith…

[CITIZENS[

They are trying to do the unimaginable.

[FRIS]

There are moments that the words don’t reach.

There’s a grace too powerful to name.

We push away what we can never understand.

They are standing in the tombs now.

Gimli by my Dis’ side.

…She takes his hand.

[DIS]

*smiles down at Thorin’s grave for the first time*…It’s quiet up north.

[CITIZENS/DWARVES OF MAHAL’S HALLS]

Forgiveness! Can you imagine?

Forgiveness! Can you imagine?

If you see him in the street, walking by her side.

Talking by her side, have pity.

They are going through the unimaginable.
