Antique Lyrics of Arda

<< < (239/253) > >>

Walküre:
I VOW TO STAND



--- Zitat ---I vow to stand
Unto the land,
Where ash and smoke
The mountain woke.

I vow to battle
And quarrels settle
Among the Men
Of coast and glen.

I vow to stay
In glorious lay,
Whereat we hail
As wondrous tale.

The Black across
Is wrenching loss
For any soul
From marble Hall.

Fires flow
And embers glow
Yon ahead
In vale of dread.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
A SOLE MAN-KING



--- Zitat ---Ruin and utter doom!
Here is in truth no room
For other crowns to reign
Within my own domain.

Aye, my own land it is!
Spare me fearful pleas,
For ruth is much akin
To utter coward sin.

Before my throne you came,
Fully spent and tame;
You implore to have my reason,
Fleeing bars and lonely prison.

Stay your wicked word,
Cunning mighty lord.
Tenfold mightier sure am I,
Grandly strong and slow to die.

You shall follow me in chains
Away from plots and earthly banes.
A gaoled of Númenor, at my will,
Caught and bound and ever-still.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
SELDOM



--- Zitat ---Seldom have we told
The grievous lay of gold
Which once was lit aglow
By ardent flaming flow.

Seldom was the aid
Of Dwarven-crafted blade
To triumph over ghouls,
Immune to arms and tools.

Seldom do we speak
Within the frozen peak
Of how declined the court
In such a mournful sort.

Seldom has a token
Merry kingdoms broken,
Unless it were of guile
In perilous fore-while.

Seldom shall we sing
The magic precious Ring
Which beckoned naught but fire,
And slew, alas, the sire.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
REVOLT



--- Zitat ---I fancy we might try
To venture deep and sly,
For bad this land befell
Across this merry dell.

Fumes we see arise
In darkling scary guise
Above the Hobbit's hole,
And tainting trees' bole.

May ill have not occurred!
Hazed is air and thickly blurred.
Someone took control along;
To the Shire we belong.

While we strove much abroad,
Carrying shield and drawing sword,
Malice turned its gaze afar,
Sneering west at Evening Star.

A queer beggar thenceforth sits
As sordid master of his wits;
Foul strangers ought to bolt,
Ere justness calls revolt.
--- Ende Zitat ---

Walküre:
I SAW THE WORLD FADE



--- Zitat ---I saw the world fade
Above the ailing glade,
Inside the sickened green
Of murky bark and being.

Reeds have slept in fear;
Devious grew the mere.
Woods are ill and lame,
Bearing spooky fame.

Nights lie not in gloom
And Lamps renew the bloom
Of young benighted flower
Upon a cheerless bower.

Beheld have I the sky
In wearisome long sigh,
Craving sheer Light
Amid the present blight.

Dusk has paled away
To sacred starlit ray.
The Ever-Fair I see
Atop the gleeful tree.
--- Ende Zitat ---
