Walküre:
THE MAYOR THAT WENT AWAY



--- Zitat ---He stayed and governed well,
For every eve and morn which calls the bell,
At the dawn of the Hobbit's day,
The sun soars quiet, merry and gay.

A friend he'd lost about a shore,
In the grey haven of ancient lore,
Sailed beside the mighty ones,
The world's shield and piercing lance.

Thus bade the unlucky bearer farewell,
Nought was left to fight back or quell,
Sam had found the way again,
Returning to true love, then.

Renowned and admired by his gentle folk,
Among joys and fun he ever woke,
Simple abiding in the common Shire,
Chatting and joking before the hearth-fire.

As mayor they chose him, until the sunset of his life,
Unto the hour of parting from home and wife,
Travelling to the decayed bygone port,
Where a vessel was sent, for him, from distant kingdoms of holy sort.

Walküre:
MAGIC IS MIGHT (JUBILEE)



--- Zitat ---Might is magic,
Tomorrow foretokens tragic,
A new day has risen,
The hour of a ruthless queen, unforgiven.

A mistress of storms and loud sea,
Of tides and waves which irate shall be,
Commanding gales and ruling tempest,
Supreme and high for every fate's test.

Obey and surrender!
Pledge allegiance and gaze yonder
Where the potent lady reigns,
Giver of prodigy or grievous banes.

Mayhem bestirs anew across the world,
A tribute she demands, and not of gold,
That every king bow and fall at her feet,
Beseeching mercy and gentile wit.

Lest the earth be cracked open,
Shattered and quaked much often,
Lest grand hosts turned their back,
Revering the enchantress and her miraculous luck.

Walküre:
RIGHT



--- Zitat ---Sword and blade to keep at bay,
The uproar of chaos and evil say,
Lament and pity for the common,
Fears conjure storm and hatred summon.

The Steward wants not ill at the border,
Wishing but calm and watchful order,
Fortunes of thither he cares not about,
Hostage of grudge and doubt.

Stone and marble need a man of wit,
Guarding the sentry, though on the vacant throne he cannot sit,
Scorned by scorching desire,
Longing for deeds which peasants would ever admire.

The white wall must pass the test,
Last true bastion of the ailing West,
Never has worrying been much wrong,
For one who's been seeking right for long.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
HERALDRY OVER LOVE



--- Zitat ---So shall I tell you what was of late,
A worried crown that fell asleep,
Walls were built and closed the gate.

Kings began the past to weep,
Rapid rose then a dreary morning,
On Gondor, stirring inside hearts deep.

Was that a fate's warning?
That tales well would not fare?
For often ominous is the yearning.

The longing for gold to wear,
For jubilant triumph to seek,
What sires only could bear.

Grave seems the future to the weak,
Beholder of misery and woe,
Rendering men mild and meek.

As the realm would reach its low,
For too long by troubles bent,
Giving in to grim fable and foe.

Luck dwindled and away went,
Sages divined and doom foresaw,
Mighty lords wished fain to repent.

Slowly much weary got law,
Fathers held kin no more dear,
Dark was everyday nearer to draw.

The king forswore shield and spear,
Locked in his high bedimmed tower,
Interrogating stars as does the seer.

Thus grew fine wine sour,
Heraldry over love was chosen,
Tombs were made richer, as the sad sovereign was to cower.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
THOUGHT OF STEEL



--- Zitat ---Nay, little friend of mine,
The White Wizard cares not for old oaks or tall pine,
Not about soft grass nor vine,
On raw meat and coal he's now to dine.

Secluded in his black tower,
The soil of Isengard is no home to flower,
Just dense fumes clouding reason;
The very scent of treason.

A sorcerer without judgement,
A slayer of wood's merriment,
A poem ended bad,
A wise driven mad.

Heavens, spare this greenwood,
Its shepherds ever-firm stood,
To look after trees;
The forest ails, now, on her knees.

His thought is adamant steel,
His mind a turning wheel,
Tainted was his pure white,
To darkness turned his dim light.
--- Ende Zitat ---
