Antique Lyrics of Arda

[Walküre]

The seeds of malaise


Is it always a design of the Evil that the seeds of malaise are being sown?
Indeed unfriendliness among good souls can prepare the ground for an obscure will,
It's thus of imperative note, that free kingdoms be faithful and staunch in the oath,
For much we need aid and concerted help, as about the common fate of this continent we all equally care.

[Walküre]

The ways of the sea


The sundering paths of the vast sea mariners long to journey,
Without worries nor fears, as waves may reveal treachery and their power might burst with rage,
Yet the voyage must continue against bad fortune and ill fate,
For tasks they have to fulfil and the honour of success they at any time strive to achieve.

[Walküre]

Light and rumble beyond the peaks


We beheld much light and raging rumble beyond the peaks,
Sign of two great powers that each other were fiercely battling,
Terrible contest and spectacle to experience indeed,
Two Angels were said to have been part of the fight, and the remnants of that conflict somber mood and much ruin along the land left.

[Walküre]

A remnant of might and wonder


It was built in a time of conquest and pride,
While authority was being spread from the Island and any subject of human kind would bow,
A mighty fortress and tower, high and solid as the will and ambition of whom mocked the stone of Númenor beyond the sea,
The stronghold that only an Istar could then possess, and in its halls glory and thirst for dominion shall always dwell, to nurture and nourish even the grandest of the dreams.

[Walküre]

Staunch Loyalty


Loyalty and profound deep the quest of the Ring-bearer in need aided,
For the gleam of hope was ever present to rekindle the weary heart in its fatigue,
Neither the ghoulish breath of ghosts, nor the ardent flames of the volcano, this the path of destiny could not halt,
Unto the completion of the task and sunny days now make us all joyful, for in jubilation we vanquished the threat and eventually succeeded for the general salvation.

[Walküre]

The reign of terror


In great snare and sudden wars the Rings were in his dark hands,
Elves were suffering the expiation of their sin, for to deceiving words and sham counsel their ears had listened,
The Dark Lord was free and boundless to chain Middle-earth,
And Men of the continent dreaded him in utmost desperation and him their king they had named.

[Walküre]

The valiant sacrifice


Valiant and undaunted the immense toll,
Of whom had opted to fight for the sake of the just kind,
The brave Champion and supreme King the unthinkable did,
As he faced the one-time mightiest of the Powers and the terrible blow of the Enemy's hammer.

He shall live in legends and tale, undefeated the spirit and unconquerable in glory the valour.

[Walküre]

The uncanny presence


It is always not of this world and in fantasy uplifted,
What is touched by magic and has its being bewitched,
Easy or hard to tell, one ought not to indulge unto late times,
As a presence, uncanny and often mighty, is lively somewhere and of that you must be aware.

[Walküre]

Nay, thou wilt not be given it


I, pride monarch and lord of the Five-pointed Star,
I demand an answer and to receive favourable responses I much long,
For the never-ending life we desire as well, and certainly we wouldn't think ill of our friends beyond the sacred limits,
Yet silence from Valinor seems to be now the norm,

Nay, King of Men, thou wilt not be given the privilege, as immortal life is deep in the nature of the Elven kind, as at the Beginning it was decreed, and naught reality in some ways might change.

[Walküre]

Swift and ruthless


Wrath and terrible grudge,
The Dark Lord defeat had not expected,
But truth disclosed its course to him in the worst of the manners,
As his pawn was vanquished by the endurance of the People of the Heath, and the Shepherds of trees the antique stronghold of Men eventually reclaimed.

[Walküre]

To whom fell and hither lieth


I shall sing for whom fell in perilous fate and hither lieth, with the mortal soil as an impious grave,
Although some say, that most of the bright Eldar who fought now rest in Valinórë the holy realm, without the burden of time, sorrow and grief, which the ways of Arda always make somber and grey.

[Walküre]

Kôr, splendour of Eldamar


Kôr, thou art the joy and pride of the Elven Home along the narrow shores,
The green and sacred shire of our kind, to stay and remain as testimony for all the Eldar elected,
Hither the first ones who sailed had arrived, and two Elven kinds resided in might and glory,
Unto the very Noon of Valinórë, as the Fair finally their fear gave up and ready to embrace the bliss over the Wall they were.

The City of Towers thus the domain of the proud Noldor became,
Seat of the High King of old wisdom and his kin skilful and noble,
The dust of diamonds one may sense and touch among the ways of thy grandness, Kôr of towers and jewels,
The wonders of thy rulers were crafted in solace and quiet vibe, destined to mark the time of this world in manners unknown to the most.

[Walküre]

Melkor, I am the one who IS


Thou shalt not behold thy plans achieved,
Melkor, I am the one who IS and from whom reality life received,
All is in my Plan, and my Plan is all,
This thou needest remember and forever thou wilt be told.

[Walküre]

The juggernaut of justice


Justice and reparations for unfair conduct,
Valinórë has never condoned nor forgiven the malice of its foes,
And all fault have been punished across water, wood, stone and ground,
So that retribution may be provided, and the authority of the King of Arda in front of naught shall stop or fail.

[Walküre]

We shall not meet again

The Lady bids her farewell to the king of the reunited kingdom.


Farewell, new monarch of peace and rule,
We shall not meet again after my parting from this grand festivity,
I am to pass through the sea and depart from this world in which I have no part,
For the new era which is soon to come shall be the age of Men, and of the Mortals the glory.
