Antique Lyrics of Arda

Walküre:
FAITHFUL PSALMS



--- Zitat ---Morns and eves shall ebb away.
Pride and pain linger on to stay.
Dusk will fall on troubled roads,
As fearful night wistful bodes.

Dull grow kings and folk
In tired years that forces soak.
Impious voices sound and rouse
Malicious tempers in regal house.

Afar they sneer with scorn;
Warring winds has blown the horn
Which once was hopeful sign
Of joyful plenty and damask-wine.

Tenebrous stands the altar,
When mankind chances so to falter;
Lots of preys the Demon found,
Beguiling Men to break the Bound.

May this faithful psalm meander
Through livid tides that oceans sunder.
May the loyal earn a grace
To spare the sinful mortal race.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
CAPTIVE AND CAPTOR



--- Zitat ---A captive they had taken
From lands lying forsaken,
Where the Dark Lord would reign
And brute hubris feign.

Kingship Evil sought to claim,
Yearning much the Crown to maim,
For vile chaining of mortal earths
In sundry modes and dreadful sorts.

As God of Men they hailed
The Foe we grossly wailed
For heinous deed in human lore,
Begetting ill on hither-shore.

The gaoled turned in captor,
His counsel given to the sceptre.
Stained by guile were his words
That mustered flags, fleets and swords.

Undying life was not to be
Wrested so across the sea,
For deathless bounds they could not
Seize with force from holy lot.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
BARREN KINGDOM



--- Zitat ---Ruins are left to tell
And wary stranger quell
From venturing yet further
In dreary place of murder.

Spoils of grievous shadow,
Lying about the meadow,
That bear the weight of doom
And pride themselves in gloom.

Brambles grow on knolls,
Bent by deathly tolls;
Rough they clasp the dale
Through lonely rocks and hail.

Gruesome heights tower near,
As nasty beacon of one's fear,
For phantoms loom malicious thence
And ply the unwanted with offence.

Works of might are no more.
Of splendid labours was the core
This blighted barren kingdom,
Stripped of joyous artful wisdom.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
REMOVED



--- Zitat ---Removed and taken from the sight
Of dying ones who err in fright,
To be one legacy of yore
And olden memory that wore.

Above the spheres of outer void
Floats the Kingdom unalloyed.
The Ancient West shines forever
In endless cycle none may sever.

Charters lost the blissful coast
Which eager Men would long the most,
Deceived in plotting monstrous war
Agin the Angels of Afore.

Now the waves shall not carry
Able prows and regal ferry
Beyond the bounds of air,
For chained to roundness flags will fare.

Past sidereal ether
Is no tree to wither.
Past forbidden ways
Gleam enchanted bays.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
HELL IN HOME



--- Zitat ---Ever heeds the ailing King,
On foulest wicked wing,
A phoney cunning word
Which sorrow takes aboard.

Elven-ships forsook the haven
That masons once had wholly graven
By seaside's merry rim,
Now darkened bleak and grim.

Thunder cries aloud despair;
Tempest rages through the flare.
Red are skies in growing dusk,
About such treachery to unmask.

Hell was given right to enter
Of highest Men the fateful centre.
Shackled was the pallid crown
Whom wrathful Gods thus foundered down.

Home was made a fiery seat;
Consumed were crops and radiant wheat.
Thrall of mighty worshipped fiend
Was this Isle, scourged by wind.
--- Ende Zitat ---
