Antique Lyrics of Arda

[Walküre]

The ones who much bore


The ones who much bore, both on deathless and mortal ends,
Exile they faced, their legacy they longed to retrieve and the gravest horrors on their journey they underwent.

[Walküre]

The Secret of the Deep Sea


The Secret of the Deep Sea by marine Angels is carefully kept,
The Archangel of Water with it dwelleth on the depths of the blue, and the Sea-elves by the Lord of the Storm some of its arts were taught.

[Walküre]

Serpents of fire and ashes


What art or snare could have ever conceived such horror,
Slimy the fashion, fell the nature and fiery the breath.

[Walküre]

Many webs of lies and deception

The people of Rohan believe that an insidious force dwells in the Golden Wood. The king's mind is poisoned by lies; this could be the reason of such fool of a belief.


Eerie and luring, the ways of those forests may not be by human foot trodden,
Secrecy reigns supreme and naught of them we know,
If not that a great sorceress dwells in those woods,
Which kind of snares and schemes does she have for us?

[Walküre]

Going hither and thither


Hither and thither the Grey Wizard goeth, vast the route and long the voyage,
Many names he is called and in many different tongues,
Where doth an old man find the will to endeavour?
He seemeth stuck on a mission and from his aim he shall not depart.

[Walküre]

The Doom of Mandos (The Prophecy)


Noldo, fell and ill may be for thee thy fate,
The blood-stained harbour thee shall forever haunt, for slaughter only via agony shall be punished.

[Walküre]

On thy knees, with thy hands chained


On thy knees, may chains bind thy hands for long time,
Hands that evil did and never repented, this is how the sentence speaketh and so for three eras thou shalt lie.

[Walküre]

Thou hast more than thou thinkest


Humble and wise, gentle Hobbit, thou hast more than thou thinkest,
The love for simple deeds and kind acts the Evil in the end defeateth.

[Walküre]

The Seven


Seven were they and by cunning hands crafted,
Much was promised to the lords who bore them, yet greed and passion the most gruesome perils brought.

[Walküre]

The Wedding, the Hope of the Free


King of unity you shall be again, the two twin-realms reconciled,
Aye, the glorious kind meets the immortal blood once again, hope for a new world of freedom may you be.

[Walküre]

The Grand Coalition


A grand coalition acted in might too, when Men had to withstand the major risk,
Relentless defence at the gates of the Lonely Mountain, the leaves of Mirkwood stained by blood and fell hosts repulsed by an indomitable force within those golden woods.

[Walküre]

The Three Kings under the stars


Among the first they had been, at the dawn of the Eldar's day on Arda,
But morning was not, for light would only rest within the holy domain,
The mightiest they were and hence their people led across the young Middle-earth,
One was sadly murdered by the Evil's hands, the other greed caused to perish and the fair dwelleth beside the thrones of Manwë and Varda, bathing in light and in the eternal ether.

[Walküre]

The best remedy


The best remedy, they say, is not much hard to find,
Laughter and kindness all bad things better and the Evil keep at careful bay.

[Walküre]

Have we come to the end?


Are we at the end of the journey?
This I don't believe, for quests involve vast lands and the most colourful sort of characters.

[Walküre]

We shall ease their suffering


Antique healing knowledge was entrusted to us,
Rangers, the past legacy is not at all gone and we shall ease the pious heart's suffering.
