[00:06.35] |
MANDOS TO LÚTHIEN |
[00:09.28] |
For what you have done |
[00:13.43] |
And everything been through |
[00:17.14] |
Suspended between |
[00:21.28] |
Dimensions where phantasms look true |
[00:25.21] |
When your empty hands |
[00:29.36] |
Are lifted in the last sacrifice |
[00:32.92] |
And daylight is down, |
[00:37.25] |
Laid down in a coffin of ice |
[00:41.30] |
Your wish is granted |
[00:45.20] |
Mere bliss or humanity |
[00:48.80] |
The seed is planted |
[00:53.43] |
In the deep soil of your liberty |
[00:57.21] |
Your word has been heard |
[01:01.24] |
And Middle-earth will hold you again, |
[01:06.20] |
A living woman |
[01:13.46] |
A torrent will flow to the main |
[01:21.93] |
LAND OF THE DEAD THAT LIVE |
[01:22.63] |
They have gone to the place that no-one can reach |
[01:28.98] |
To the verdant island of rarefied sheen |
[01:36.36] |
The far-distant strand of golden desire |
[01:45.65] |
Amber light enwrapped in a mantle of green |
[02:09.73] |
They will not come back from the pearly twilight, |
[02:17.34] |
A beckoning flash, tantalising farewell |
[02:25.97] |
But the vision has not gone away |
[02:33.22] |
Because to them immortality bowed |
[02:41.74] |
And the dead that live are sung in the lay |
[02:50.04] |
That takes wing in an amethyst cloud |
[02:57.58] |
Soaring high when the evensong has passed, |
[03:04.63] |
Shining through age-old extents of dejection, |
[03:16.78] |
Staying still, like the lingering reflection |
[03:24.56] |
Of the ancient music that was hushed |
[03:32.10] |
That was hushed |
[03:37.60] |
So your tree will grow, and it will not die |
[03:48.75] |
Rooted in the earth, reaching to the sky |
[03:55.44] |
Higher than your hope, never to subside |
[04:12.91] |
DIOR AND THE RE-CONQUEST OF DORIATH |
[04:25.37] |
Their heir is shaken from his reverie, |
[04:37.23] |
From the green paradise where he was born |
[04:48.44] |
Clangours of combat break into his dream |
[04:55.21] |
With the shrill bidding of the battle horn |
[05:01.33] |
So your tree will grow, and it will not die |
[05:14.17] |
Rooted in the earth, reaching to the sky |
[05:26.18] |
Higher than your hope, never to subside |
[05:37.85] |
A new breed of kings coming to abide |
[05:49.23] |
See, the hordes are arriving |
[05:55.20] |
They are laden with treasure |
[06:01.21] |
Gear of war on their shoulders |
[06:06.54] |
Red revenge without measure |
[06:13.20] |
See the son and the father |
[06:19.09] |
On the dwarves they are falling |
[06:24.50] |
See the jewel retaken |
[06:30.44] |
Amid wrestle and squalling |
[06:37.35] |
A new sovereign has risen |
[06:42.97] |
The high spirit alighted |
[06:49.20] |
On the child of three races |
[06:55.23] |
Now forever united |
[07:01.90] |
THE NAUGLAMIR |
[07:02.01] |
Hasten your step |
[07:06.26] |
Because autumn nights are dark |
[07:13.38] |
And rooks fly fast |
[07:18.84] |
In sundown’s dying spark |
[07:25.57] |
From Ossiriand |
[07:30.60] |
You, herald of majesty |
[07:37.24] |
Gallop along |
[07:41.69] |
With the speed of fatality |
[08:42.73] |
On him the ardent necklace sits, |
[08:48.71] |
The glory of the threefold race |
[08:54.53] |
It was a spectacle of force |
[09:00.42] |
A dwelling where resplendence housed |
[09:06.59] |
A premonition of more wars |
[09:12.48] |
Before the Gods’ anger was roused |
