Walküre:
MEMORY OF HOW IT WAS



--- Zitat ---Remembrance of old,
Treasure of gold,
Well was all to fare,
Wind would strip trees bare.

Kings and Queens of yonder,
Seas the two shores did not sunder,
The door was still open,
As ill befell the world too often.

Is the past to be yearned again?
For any wise immortal and proud man,
Will the present shift for worse?
Or has the good the chance to undo the curse?

Gone foes might come anew,
The spectre of war too close drew,
The Mount of Doom roars now and demands blood,
To trap the gentle in gore and mud.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
A LANCE TO SAVE



--- Zitat ---Wield some iron of great,
A lance to save the fate,
Piercing horrid flesh,
To slay demons and slash.

Ride fast, my knight,
Once exile, now herald of might,
Banished no longer,
Flouting traitor and warmonger.

Fierce son of the meadow,
Too long have you trodden ways of shadow,
Whilst the king appeared cold,
And numb and so easy to mould.

Albeit spell and wicked charm,
Causing fear and much harm,
Your fellows were never to doubt,
That you'd return and just sedition shout.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
LOVELY STONES



--- Zitat ---Lovely stone,
Lying lone,
Now forlorn,
An armour worn.

To shield the broad North,
From peril coming forth,
From thick ice and hail,
Which soul tortured and dealt pain.

Lovely ruin,
Undone by doing,
Of a foul captain of wight,
Glorying much in disorder as in fright.

Dusk then fell,
On the vanquished realm of fort and bell,
But the tower has not surrendered yet,
A new sun might rise, that shall warm frost to wet.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
OUTER ROAD



--- Zitat ---Westward, off the outer road,
For well and better to bode,
Unusual path, heading to secret,
The crossroad of remorse and regret.

Whether the grieving Elf is to long for the wide sea,
Much-present prayer in his plea,
That is yet to be said,
Drained is the soul who such burden to carry had.

Fore-known he had this end,
Worldly flaws none can mend,
Men may still prosper and grow in shadow,
The Firstborn cannot, lest happy maiden be rendered widow.

Immortal blood must take the way of waves,
Order above all the just Elda craves,
The road gives nought to others,
Death-ridden ones should then aid akin brothers.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
DELUSION



--- Zitat ---He who goes beyond the frontier,
Far and way easier,
One would think,
In the calm Hobbit-world to sink.

Well, traveller of afar,
With so many memories you have filled your jar,
Recalling but the pests of abroad,
Of joys, instead, here we have a load.

Hard labour we always laud,
The gentle no peril-ridden path trod,
What makes life good,
We know well, in this our quiet mood.

Delusion awaits those expecting treasure,
Abiding in the land of green and leisure,
Unless you be sure that brighter is another kind of gold,
That in folks hides, and which you may not shape nor mould.
--- Ende Zitat ---
