Antique Lyrics of Arda

[Walküre]

Lady, you left, but not your memory


Lady, you left our woods and naught hallowed any longer may grow,
Your rule faces decay and our golden trees slowly wither, but not the memory of you and the merry days of the Lords of Lórien.

[Walküre]

The Wish of Ossë


I beg you, Sea-elves of deep affection, upon the mortal shores to remain,
Ye long shall sing and craft, and the mysteries of the blue I shall unveil.

[Walküre]

Saruman yearneth what he doth not have


The White Wizard of forgotten relics is in search,
Yearning grand might and arts to the current world unknown.

[Walküre]

Círdan's vow


Much the sea maketh me long and feel,
Yet here I shall wait, for there is still a task I need fulfil.

[Walküre]

Varda's warning


Melkor, grand darkness and hostile schemes,
Hearken now, as my warrant to thee is sent,
Thou in the end wilt not prevail, and all thy deeds shall be in vain,
My Stars immortal live and above stand, where thou may naught and they light forever shall give.

[Walküre]

The Obscure Will


Woes to you, odious Noldor of Aman,
Ye much hope and in your arts greatly confide,
Although these mortal wastes to me only belong,
And all my rule unto the End shall suffer,

Bow down to me, who your grandest deed now possess.

[Walküre]

Findaráto, good and wonders thou singest

Findaráto, good and wonders thou singest,
Air, seas, woods and green plains, on the World's best the merriest melody thou bringest.

[Walküre]

Eerie mists cloud the seas

Eerie mists cloud the seas, and all news from the blessed completely veil,
A powerful spell on the passage was cast, so that naught the Exiled know and for grief much wail.

[Walküre]

The Enchanted Isles


Mist, water and deadly ice keep Aman far,
The Exiled anxious and agonising for help,
The Queen of Arda raised some isles from the blue,
All who dare sail there stop and forever Mirkwood

[Walküre]

Men


Weak we are not and we diverse lands our home made,
Mortality is a grave burden on our shoulders, yet we taste the World each day and our ending fate we in patience wait.

[Walküre]

Aye and Nay


'Aye' and 'Nay' they shall suggest,
For the Eldar care for every tone and shade of a quest.

[Walküre]

Creeping Shadows

Nameless murmurs along the vast green of the East,
Might it be that new troubles are to arise, neither last nor least?

[Walküre]

He shall wait for the last ship


Over the sunny Shire and past the old woods, an old guardian vigilant standeth,
He shall wait for the last ship, when the time of magic shall be no more and this era eventually endeth.

[Walküre]

Lúthien the Great


She may wood crash and stone shatter, and naught evil to harm her dareth,
Her path a different turn may not take, be it Elda, Maia or of the Valar the mightiest.

[Walküre]

Thou wilt find thy courage


Thou wilt find thy courage, when the moment is apt and thy friends in need,
Thou wilt find thy courage, and none between thee and thy dear shall step.
