Antique Lyrics of Arda

Walküre:
LONG AFFRAY



--- Zitat ---Entangled thence in long affray
Was Elvish prince who lives in lay.
Kings and kings have minstrels wept;
Behind the frost was Evil kept.

Engraved in ice lay his fort
For utter doom of royal court
Which thither had so arduous gone,
Willing coats and mail to don.

Strenuous war betided soon.
Lost were Trees and endless Noon.
High and nether ill was done,
Neath the ardent ancient Sun.

Blades they brandished proud and fierce;
Armours forged were hard to pierce;
Immortal craft shone of prime
In so elder grim a time.

Valiant ones joys forsook
Amid such flame, void and spook.
Wraiths would tread that grievous path
And lords were eager pawn of wrath.

Walküre:
GRAND LABOURS



--- Zitat ---Grand labours commenced of old
In mirthful days as such was told.
To mend, to ease, to cure:
To vanquish toil and long endure.

Immortals loved the earth beyond
All they dearly deemed much fond.
Ensuing troubles they had not seen,
As Elven-sight was made less keen.

Wonders bade the eerie Astute
With offer none could well refute,
Save a few potent wise,
Not beguiled by phoney guise.

Works of praise were turned for ill;
Worthy guest was vicious will
That tied his victim to ruination,
Partaking wont in vile creation.

Dark has since grown the world;
Chilled have wan seas to great cold.
Laid bare were bygone kingdoms:
Once great pride of Firstborn-earldoms.

Walküre:
AN ELVISH QUEEN GOVERNS TREES



--- Zitat ---Sigh! Woe! My!
Gold are leaves therein
Neath the sunny sky,
Might abides within.

Alas! Grievous dreary times
Loom above the wood;
Elven hope are rhymes,
Sung in rue as voices could.

Voice is swoon and waning swift
Into clouds of sullen days.
Was the white ship thrust adrift
By the tides of bloody lays.

Still Light lingers bright
Far away from outer ills,
Wherein stars bless the night,
Renewing ghost and ailing wills.

An Elvish Queen governs trees,
Whose very name folks recount:
Her joyous land none may seize
Betwixt waterway and mount.

Walküre:
DREAMY PORT



--- Zitat ---Across, past the western End
Finds itself a port,
Which mortal eyes commend
As holy Power's fort.

The Lonely Isle they then mistake
For godly saint-abode,
There where Angels wonders make
In ever-changing mode.

Descry we may a silver haven
Beyond the rage of frantic waves:
On it the craft of Elves was graven
By cleaving stones from deathless caves.

On sea-green heights we gaze afar
At merry distant shores,
Whither wester Moon and Star;
Whence came to us no wars.

Fogs rise and fall
By the naval bound.
Sailors seem to enthral
Uncanny spells around.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
CHAMPION OF VILLAINY



--- Zitat ---How couldst thou? How dark a foe!
Born as King, devoid of woe.
Songs thou sangest, opposed to Him;
So vile an act. So wrong to deem.

Tunes and music for undoing,
Willed afore to sow much ruin.
Agin thee and thine unright
Hath warred thy kindred in the Night.

Night was then before the Light,
Wrought of old by virtuous Might.
Great Lamps were lit to order
The Elder World and its disorder.

Powers fled from grave unrest
To the sinless Utter-West;
Thither have they fared to store
What of Bliss was left in lore.

Alas! Lo! Thou wast to crave
Fouler deed inside thy Cave.
Scheming evil of such felony;
Melkor the Marred, Champion of Villainy.
--- Ende Zitat ---
