Antique Lyrics of Arda
Walküre:
BLACK MENACE
--- Zitat ---Peril came and got in,
Such that Hobbits were not to win.
Hoofs passed the outer hedge,
In cruel pursuit and deadly pledge.
What might seek the fiendish knight?
What covets most the revenant wight?
Intruding inside happy green,
Sowing terror in the Unseen.
Bidden was the vile rider
To search across, stern and wider;
Carrying hatred by wicked spell
That renders all so bad and fell.
Not mere ghosts from silly jest,
But mighty foes few could best
In sword-contest or battle
Where guilt they fix and settle.
Paths are not secure,
Should you not endure
That ardent wish to chase
Unto ash-wasted ways.

Walküre:
MASTER AND MAIDEN
--- Zitat ---He's Master of wood and hill
Where is no waste or chill,
Outside the aged forest
He deems his lands the dearest.
The Eldest among the living,
Afore the Children's own conceiving;
Prior to the bright Lords,
Preceding wars, battles and swords.
One day he met his lovely Maiden,
Woken brooks with flowers laden.
A gentle dweller of water,
Whom fain we hail "the River-Daughter".
King and queen of green domain
Fearing none, fancying rain.
The angry Willow shall stay his wrath,
For Jolly Tom is free to tread the path.
Along the tops of haunted mounds
One harks bewailing and shrieking sounds,
For a wicked Fiend resides in graves,
Until the Master dares such spook and stranger saves.

Walküre:
SEVEN PORTENTS
--- Zitat ---He gave them seven
Inside stone-hall,
At the behest of heaven
Into the mountain wall.
Ruin befell king and sire
Dooming houses to burn,
Awaking ghoulish fire
Which roared loud and stern.
Fine tokens beseemed
The much fabled Rings;
Evil dug and schemed,
Unearthing flames and wings.
Artefacts of potent use
Which bend fate and will,
Forecasting rue and blues
Under rocks and grinding chill.
Seven portents that never caught
Of gallant dwarf the wit,
Stirring thenceforth blazing draught
From within the darkest pit.

Walküre:
TESTAMENT OF COURAGE
--- Zitat ---'Tis a testament for you,
My dear one.
A letter sent through
Among mage and man.
Hereby I confess
That toiled am I for real,
But events also bless
Who wills to sign a deal.
A deal have I underwritten,
Which brought the humble far,
Into adventure smitten,
Leaving the door ajar.
Three brute trolls were not enough
To hinder us and scare;
Though the road was rough,
Defied have we the journey's wear.
Grand battle I then fought
Beside valiant host and beast,
Ending up distraught
For woeful loss and bloody feast.
--- Ende Zitat ---
Walküre:
FOREMOTHER OF LORE
--- Zitat ---Under boughs of young age,
Recalled in history by sage,
Stood a singing maid
Who used in ancient stream to wade.
Deathless as the eternal star
Whose fairness nought may mar.
Bright stone of a tainted world,
Hewn from purity and gold.
Joy to her king and queen,
Rulers of ways amidst green
And deep cavern beneath the earth,
Where reigned remembrances of mirth.
Untrodden paths she set alight
Dispelling anguish and fright.
Alongside reeds she found
One to whom she would be bound.
Side by side in speed and ruin,
Her song of demons was great undoing.
Piping fowls shall tell
How gentile vanquished fell.
--- Ende Zitat ---
