Kate Bush's new song 'Lyra', which will be played over the end-credits of the film, made its radio premiere on BBC Radio 6. The song starts playing 44 minutes and 20 seconds into the archived audio stream, which can be heard here. Alternatively, menro, a user on youtube has uploaded the song here:

The lyrics for the song are:

Where are our lives
If there is no dream
Where is our home

We don't know how
There will be a way
Out of this storm
We will find home

And her soul walks beside her
An army stands behind her
Lyra, Lyra

And her face full of grace
Two worlds collide around her
The truth lies deep inside her
Lyra, Lyra

And the stars look down upon her
This darkness settles on her
Lyra, Lyra

Who's to know what's in the future
We hope we will be with her
We have all our love to give her
O Lyra, Lyra

Thanks to IMDb user bearyari for the heads up and the lyrics.

People are loving this, I’m thinking it’s the least interesting thing I’ve listened to fully in quite a while. There’s just nothing keeping me with that song.

Hum. I didn’t like it very much. I’ve heard many, many good slow songs, but this is not one of them. There’s no hook at all.

#3 Ummm...

I don’t like the song at all. But then again I never liked any of the end credit songs that they had made for LOTR either. not that big a deal though since its not played during the actual movie.

I’m not real fond of this song yet I’ve been humming the lyrics to it all morning. Strange, huh?

#5 I LOVE IT!

It put shivers down my back, especially as the lyrics seem ‘bigger’ than just the first movie.
Very Kate Bush, very good serious tone. And I agree very catchy after a few listens.
