Let us go and fix it



Let us go and fix the broken portrait,
Of a land, unrecognisable and changed,
Too much it had to undergo, tortured in flames,
Under the harsh rule of a cruel king,
Escaped from a prison lying across the horizon of mortal sight,
Of much unrest he had been cause and primary root, succeeding in his secretive plan,
The proud court was led to the sorrowful shores of a stranger continent,
There, they fought and battled well, blossoming the flower of the Eldar among unspeakable misadventures,
Yet splendour was not to last in the shires of the exile,
The Judge had prophesied, that naught that was crafted by exiled hand would resist the ending of that age.

Mighty clashes all over that marred place, mingling triumph with sorrow and pain,
Pearl-made towers were torn down in ruin, either by malice or disgraceful rivalry,
Valiant kings lay dead and vanquished, overcome by the enemy,
Relentless opponent that never had had any rest,
Secluded in his chambers of iron, carved into the cold stone of those forgotten northernmost ends,
Until hope came again, but only when it had been pleaded on behalf of the two races,
We were freed from tyranny, at last, at wit's end,
Many of the countries that were sank under the waves of the sea,
We have now been entrusted a renewed world, precarious yet free, ready to be made fair again with the arts we have knowledge of, before peril creeps out another time in the tale.

I looked into your future and I saw death



I looked into the future and I saw death,
In guise of withered trees that took away my breath,
Under a pale night without stars, there you shall dwell,
At the time of sad departure, once your love has lived long and well.

The fading age will be the gloomy epilogue of your staying,
Sorrow is to consume you, daughter on the verge to wane,
I shall bear memory of you in my dreams beyond these shores, grey,
We will not meet each other again, not prior to the End which only very few foresee may.

I'm beside thee, do not forget



Ever shall I rest beside thee,
An oath so clear to see,
Canst thou gaze at the hope I placed above?
It is pure memory of light and love.

The wailing one hath much toil to bear,
His loyalty, undaunted, cost strife and grief to swear,
I am beside thee, in the midst of thy mere doing,
To safeguard is my blessing meant, from utter terror and hopeless ruin.



'Mere doing' refers to the common activity of the humble man, but also, in a wider perspective, to the general existence of Men, who are the first to suffer and endure the harshness of their mortal condition.

The chain undone



Undone is the chain,
A joyful world, in the main,
Thou needest not fear trouble, having faded the implacable pain,
The deeds of our saviours, thou wilt surely sing them fain.



Morgoth has been thrown off from his iron throne of terror and desolation. The agonising people of Beleriand may rejoice and be content with the final chapter of those unceasing wars. All those deeds, be the subject honour or crime, shall forever live in the tales of Arda, meant to reignite the strife of those far days and to serve as testimony of the immense death toll that the crude conflict demanded. Tragedy, sung and told via speech or chanted word.

You shall not give in, at the slopes of doom



Gallant friend, servant of immense fortitude,
It is time to carry the burden of your kind master, to ease his solitude,
Climbing the slopes of that dreadful chasm of fire,
Behold my craft, still and eternal in the sky, for beauty is still and the way remains open for the good sire.

The government of dread



Fools! You, how dare you question the grip of the Stewards of Gondor? I see many minds may have fallen prey to the vain parlance of those annoying wizards. One, in particular; a harbinger of ill news and much apprehension, which is at large unneeded and unwanted! This parlance of treacherous intentions and precise goals. I know what you crave, Grey Wizard. I know on whom your eyes are currently set. That miserable ranger of the North, crept out from silence and from the ignorance along those far countries. Far from us, far from the real suffering and fighting of ours, my people. You ought not to pay attention to these tales, being spread with cunning ends. It is your Steward that you must trust. The one who has always stood beside you, in good or bad luck. And we shall go through these times of unrest. We shall not be conquered by the lies of those deceptive wanderers. Men are still strong and within us lies the right spirit to turn the tide in our favour, against those sham prophecies that want us to beg for outer help, on our knees.

Yes, we do have troubles to cope with. Yet, isn't this the existence of anxious awaiting that we are all living? Staggering behind the hard walls of our defence is no flaw. It is my government of dread. Doubting everyone else and especially the ones travelling back and forth, bearing the unpleasant will to stir discord and bitter resentment. No, I say; the ranks of Gondor will not be wasted anymore, just to appease the multicoloured fantasies of such woeful emissaries.

We forced him to head out from his lair



Dwellers of the burnt lake, used to sailing and trading your goods of value, the bell tolled during that night, during the hell of fire, borne through the skies via wings and horrible claws, and time is up for your kind to wield the sword and fight for life,
Miners, laborious and ever-busy in the forge of your ample halls, your ancient kingdom you have got back and won again, now ready to serve another splendid lineage of your tough kin, although greed haunts your success still, leading you all to unfriendly acts towards the other characters of the story,
Elven king, riding the might of your green forest that much extends its branches over the broad East, imperative is for you the task of retrieving the old treasure which to your past belongs, being those remote days well over and buried by the incessant pace of time, if not in the memory of the Eldar, made of what the world had been too made,
Now, people of valour, put aside the lesser differences that for too long have divided your paths, for storm is coming, carried by fell winds of a renewed evil, which hitherto has rested in disguise and hidden in its lair, but we forced him to head out and reveal its malicious plans, and these are wicked propositions that the sole unity might hinder and fend off in definitive manner.

The unanswered plea



Where was the helping hand of Gondor, in the hour of massacre?
Long had we been sending heartfelt pleas,
Comprised of our struggle, among the fumes of that fell industry,
Machines vomiting steam and deadly gifts,
The gifts of twisted science and a deeply corrupt soul,
While the broad woods nearby combated those flames,
The hay and residence of our people were raided, and they burned too,
Being extinguished in the deplorable manner of those old trees,
We asked that the allegiance be honoured and truly fulfilled,
But our plea of sorrow remained unanswered, alas, as the thick shadow prepared to cast its sombre night on all Men breathing on earth.

Grand as his pride, ruinous as his fate



Proud King, you were the last ruler of the Island to be recalled,
Power you seized and your implacable longing the course of the story was to mould,
Great laments we sing nowadays, for whom committed the worst crime, causing the whole Arda to mourn,
And great contempt you stir also, being your plan the advice of a demon, whose prisoner you had eventually become, betrayed and forlorn.

The greatest fleet you had sent to inexorable doom,
Approaching the twilight of your reign, plagued by storm and gloom,
On your mighty ship, you were subjugated by folly, at the eventual state,
A grand vessel on the surface of the blue, grand as your pride and ruinous as your fate.

Take this token and better it for the good



Future king, here is the realm I have bequeathed,
As near kingdoms of old were bent by the ruthless passing of sheer time and withered,
Take this token and better it for the good,
Beyond the maze of fortune and the wavering seas of human mood.

Gaze afar and give up fear,
It is not the crown of some monarch of old, forgotten and mere,
The keys of the White City you shall get and in the name of Gondor you will rule all,
Be your domain resilient enough, needing the world a watchful sentinel and an adamant wall.

If I could be beside you



If I could be beside you, I would make you see the wonders that bewilder the eyes,
Eyes pale and dim, trapped in ignorance and serving a mind neither noble nor wise,
Take my hand and let yourself be led to the unstoppable stream of Middle-earth,
Electing the hazardous road of adventure, sometimes it is just choice and worth.

It is me who bore the brunt



It is me who bore the brunt,
My friend, the enemy being so willing us to hunt,
Together we parted from the solace of home,
Little did we know that we would get to journey much and around roam.

Pray, let us be strong, right and sure,
Our mission demands sacrifice and horrors to endure,
Do not be wary of it, companion of trust, never were you flawed or lame,
It is me who bore the brunt, indeed, yet your presence was needed as water to grow fair green and to kindle the flame.

Farewell to the passed being



May the passed being fare well,
The portrait of what was, remember we shall,
Much hath yet to befall within the ramparts of this kingdom,
Gone are the days of the Day that never ended, into the Lit Earldom.

I am to part from the past faults,
I am to make joy and success the finest treasure, out of all those tempestuous worlds,
I need not lament and despair, for my will is iron and the purest gem, being the sole thing that is to count,
Thou shalt behold my wellness and wilt do justly, being thy heart apt to endeavour for the duty noble and paramount.

Treacherous ways



Treacherous ways they are,
High and secluded, they lie afar,
Afar from the comfort of one's dwelling,
Away from safe paths, from whence very few may be falling.

It is the pass that wounds those mountains and paves the passage beyond,
The traveller quakes and loses faith in his aching spirit, treading frozen routes all along,
What if bad weather were a trick of some arcane witch-fare?
Resounding the impious voice of a wizard, stirring the rage of the peaks and preparing warfare.

May they be sound refuge during tempest



My lamps I set above,
Sign of warning and deep love,
The fortress of hope I was to found,
Rooted in heaven, still and profound,
Vast as the immensity across the limit,
Perilous ends and forbidden to the most, as we elected to prohibit,
You, wailing and suffering the bitter taste of life,
Look at the surmounting blue, driving off the strife,
That light is to be sound refuge during tempest,
Ready to take the decisive sigh, getting the battle closer, fiercest contest.
