Steer by the Stars by Beth Patterson
After searching in vain for Elu Thingol, Círdan prepares to follow Olwë across the sea.
I desired no promise, only your company,
And I flourished in your presence most whole-heartedly.
Though I still would rejoin you and face reality,
It entraps me from dusk until dawn.
Now we all take our chances on what we regain,
But only fools would rush in where an angel's been slain.
And the sound of four voices, they still call my name,
Even though your presence is gone.
On Hallowed Ground by Graeme Revell
"And the voice warned him not to attempt this peril; for his strength and skill would not be able to build any ship able to dare the winds and waves of the Great Sea for many long years yet. 'Abide now that time, for when it comes then will your work be of utmost worth, and it will be remembered in song for many ages after.'"
Instrumental
Sweetwater Kill (The Ocean Song) by Rasputina
Círdan grows to love the sea.
Watching salt clouds billow, brimming and brand-new;
Down below, I will follow, what bubbles tell me to.
All along, it was the ocean's song
That called me down to listen to her.
Swirling still, in a Sweetwater Kill,
A swiftly sifting riptide.
Lost in the Harbour by Tom Waits
Círdan realizes the importance of mutual cooperation with the Noldor if they mean to defeat Morgoth.
And the wall won't come down
Till they're no longer afraid of themselves.
And if you don't believe me ask yourselves,
And then I can come down to the harbour,
Down to the harbour.
And then I will fill the ocean back up with my tears;
I still have a couple more years.
And then I can come down to the harbour,
Down to the harbour.
The Refuge by Javier Navarrete
The Falas becomes a haven for those displaced by the battles of the First Age

The Burned-Out Village by Jerry Goldsmith
The destruction of the Falas and the flight to Balar.
Instrumental
Bright Star by Moya Brennan
Círdan begins teaching young Gil-galad the skills needed to govern the Noldor.
Are there stars that light the dark horizon?
Hear the beauty of this sound, how it echoes all around;
Play this part with nobleness, straight and in the wilderness -
Hide no more this future flame.
Song of the Sea by Émilie Simon
Círdan helps Eärendil build Vingilot.
See how I fly
In the sea like in the sky;
You set me free.
Beneath a Phrygian Sky by Loreena McKennitt
Círdan realizes Annatar's evil intent and the necessity of opposing him.
The breeze, it wrapped around me,
As I stood there on the shore
And listened to this voice
Like I never heard before.
Our battles, they may find us;
No choice may ours to be
But hold the banner proudly.
The truth will set us free.
Watershed by Vienna Teng
The destruction of Númenor.
Now I will unsettle the ground beneath you,
Send my waters ashore,
Creep into your bed,
Find you in every corner.
While you argue it over,
I am not waiting.
Battlefield by Blind Guardian
The Last Alliance of Men and Elves, the deaths of Gil-galad and Elendil, and the temporary defeat of Sauron.
I will not move yet;
I'll stand still instead.
There on the battlefield he stands;
Down the battlefield he's lost,
And on the battlefield it ends.
Into the West by Annie Lennox
Círdan aids the fight against Sauron again in the Third Age and waits for the day when he can join those he loves in Valinor.
Don't say we have come now to the end.
White shores are calling;
You and I will meet again.
Just lovely!!! Thank you!
Just lovely!!! Thank you!
