Lest the bad could prevail



Lest the bad could prevail,
That would have been of no avail,
It was imperative to decree,
When possible it was to foresee,
To bring warmth where is cold,
To aid gallant heroes in tales of old,
Never did you your blessing withdraw,
Not even as destiny showed its darker side and raw.

Hold on to me



Tiny friend, we shall meet hell,
Wary I am about the outcome of such ride,
Yet, ride we will,
For our king and heath of love,
And wicked iron shall crumble beneath our charging,
Do not worry for me,
I was not to love whom I really want,
His heart is already someone else's fortress,
Now, let us lead the rumbling hoofs of Rohan thither,
Before the white marble of Gondor, in which doom awaits us, so that the ardour of our passion may be appeased.

No, we may not



No, we may not leave the city,
I know you dread the oncoming storm, bearer of dreary mood and pity,
We shall hail the challenge and cast the gauntlet,
Glory we shall wake and defence is not to be some forfeit.

Great party



We hope he shall come back, one day,
Too sudden did he part from his wooden home,
Hearth and comfortable shelter,
He went on an adventure,
They say, accompanied by some unusual lot,
And in much hurry, if I have to say,
Following the path of a strange wanderer,
Point-shaped hat and composure of other times,
None knows him, nor is it known from whence he may have arrived,
Quite inquisitive yet ever-courteous,
We hope he's not here for trouble,
Though some things,
He did move!
To convince a staunch Hobbit to take the leave,
In the direction of unknown quests,
He's a sound Hobbit, after all,
Sad we would be, were the traveller to meet harm,
He's good enough, smart and brave,
Our people are of the gentlest sort, used to merriment and not to woe,
And, at his return, may he have stupendous party with his friends.

The coming of night



Night came with our surprise,
Aware we were not, nor wise,
That clouds might menace future,
That shadows would creep out again, for the scouring of nature.

The wiseman has spoken,
It has been found, what was always of doom the token,
Such hand which took it, the worst burden to carry,
The Good woken must be, hurry!

You could not gaze into such void



Misadventure of terrible kind,
Was the sudden strike of the Monster,
Foul beyond recognition,
Auxiliary of unknown prowess,
Mightiest among the other devils,
Less than him, though,
For of one sole was the disgraceful proposition,
To kill the ever-lasting noon,
None could foretell or counter,
Thick darkness descended upon all and into that hateful void you could not gaze.

Pride and many other sins



Pride and many other sins,
Stain and shame of human lore, that it seems,
Nine were the Rings endowed with might,
They took all without wit, deeming it right.

Pride and torture them awaited,
Untold consequence and cost not stated,
Crowns turned into nasty collars, testimony of prison,
A new master they are bound to, as slaves, without liberty of judgement or reason.

Queen of the heavens, help us



Star-kindler, we need your help, among the ways of the continent there is a new threat arising in force, spreading ill sentiment and making peoples flee for their life,
The Evil came once again through the routes of the sky, we remember, welcomed by raging storms and the crying of beasts that knew what kind of entity had just found its way back,
He now sits on his iron throne, yet he's not alone in the pursuing of control over these shattered lands and of the deadliest minions he may dispose of,
Of whom one is horrid death for living life, hidden behind his tricks and snares, and behind voluble shapes terrorising the night, so that we are to ask for your mercy and grace, in order to lift the veil and lighten the field.

One day, I shall finally see



One day, I shall finally see,
After so much time, spent in vigilant nights, which never bent me,
While watching over the western end of an old world,
And weary and hesitant, looking forward to knowing how all was to unfold.

At the Havens of shelter, with the remnants of the Elven kin,
Towards the voyage, ever more, I lean,
Passing the waves, entering the bliss, into the West,
To see the fair Valië of our legends and to find definitive rest.

Gloomy as the night without stars



Gloomy as the night without stars,
Living by the day that fades and spirit mars,
What is to be for the immortal kind,
No escaping from the imminent choice, for a destination to find.

Where shall we go?
When magic will have vanished as it came, for which the Elda will moan,
And he will sing songs about regret in a continent that changed,
It did, just for the feeble ones to cope, and so causing the erstwhile tales to be waned.

Two sides



A fierce war, waged to take back the item of malice,
Found in the depth of a pond,
The hands which picked it,
Now they resemble the gesture of feral beasts,
Indeed, of a pitiful captive, dragged into the path of a murderer,
The Tyrant longs for its ruling artefact,
So much sorrow it has hitherto brought,
And more it will still,
The Great Eye is never content,
Until all rests under his vicious thrall.

Two sides battle each other,
Summoning their finest,
Throwing their might into the heat of the fight,
Balance is broken, however,
Naught of the contest a wise one would deem fair,
Darkness gathers flames and ghoulish force,
Shadows creep out from ignorance and catch all by sudden surprise,
Light staggers and suffers,
Hope is doomed to perish, unless the chains of the past are undone,
And unknown powers are awoken anew, to the ruin of the evil foes.

Wit and craft



Wit and craft, he's the master,
Of industry and science, in his resourceful shelter,
Which is in truth a mighty mansion,
Safe from outer trouble and tension.

Noble he is deemed, for sure,
By powerful lords, in their realm wide and secure,
His mind is made of steel and motion, as the rapid machine,
Green he begins to loathe, wishing to make dishevelled all that is clear and clean.

Howl in the dark



May you hearken to such eerie noise?
Not of gracious beings, endowed with poise,
A howl in the dark, signalling threats incoming,
No surprise, as vicious lots we see through ruined spoils roaming.

This is Nenya, gift of the Stars

An address to the coming of the Fellowship inside the borders of Lórien, recited by a choir of minstrels.



Weary companions of valorous temper, we see your slow advancing to the heart of our kingdom under the branches of the golden forests, which all view as fairest than any other wood growing and living on this scattered earth. Your pace is burdened by grief, we may sense it; you lost the guide of your perilous journey and, alone, you fear the vain meandering in a senseless scope. Yet, you continued still and so should you for the rest of the quest, for the malice you bear is constantly fostering its strength, by the summoning of grand legions of death or the waking of past menaces which everyone thought were gone for the good. That doom is ever-pending upon our head, until a just conclusion will not have taken place.

We hope you shall find the rest of which you are desperately in need. Only, do not linger too much in the midst of our bliss, so that the reason of your doing might risk to be forgotten. You may not stay here for long, because we too have our woes to care about: conscious we are, regardless of the epilogue, that bound to bid farewell to our realm we shall eventually be. It is the fate which all Elves are ready to face, as long as the nightmare of this tale is ultimately vanquished, after millennia of unrest and unspeakable crimes, of which the Immortals always have memory.

These woods were charmed by spells and mighty prowess, under the rule of the finest Elf still treading the routes of this decaying world. Keeper of Nenya, gift of the Stars and treasure of old. Time it has rendered slow, unseen barriers raised and all agony within these borders erased.

Sword commanding storms



Blade of mine, avail my cause,
For the sake of the earth, lest it be withered rose,
The hour of clash hath come, after being bound by the mission to wander,
With thee I dread not fire nor devils from the past, for I command storms and rule over thunder.
