PRIOR



Zitat
Thou art old,
Varda, when all once was lifeless and cold,
At the dawn of things,
No birds in the sky, no swift wings,
Thou wast before time,
Ever-fair and whole-fine,
Thee hath the One made to be,
Pray, never shalt thou forsake me,
Prior, as thy fellow Valar, thou camest from a wondrous vastness,
To rule, to govern, to do good for such material largeness.

INMOST WRATH



Zitat
I shall not believe it's all lost,
Nay, it's not dead, albeit covered in the lonesome frost,
A grave danger, a miserable end,
Trapped in their wealth, trapped in their land.

A profound pit, the obscure abyss,
Past which Dwarves long for, glory they thoroughly miss,
Foul usurpers of the mines, much will you regret taking that path,
Vengeance stirs deep in Dwarven hearts, kindling that folk's inmost wrath.

YOU SHOWED PITY



Zitat
You showed him pity,
At last, you had the manner of a truly gentle Hobbit,
Regret you should not harbour in mind,
Neither in that kind heart of yours,
My friend, even the least creature might serve some strange purpose,
A role to play in the story,
A part in a perilous quest,
Who are we to deal out death and grave woes?
Who are we to decree what is to be on the horizon?
This troubled monster has yet to reveal its proper self.

Let us pray, so that all deeds under the sky shall finally see,
A just conclusion,
The rightful epilogue of this our tale,
Again will the prisoner of the Ring leave his gloomy lair,
For the last time,
In the pursuit of his very yearning,
He knows, his arcane desire shall present itself anew,
Will it seize the chance?
Will it betray our side?
This I know not, my dear friend, for wizards had better act and voyage, resenting the vanity of prophecy.

AGES, AGES OF GRIEF (MY MARRED KINGDOM)



Zitat
Ages, ages of grief,
A king counselled by the worst thief,
A bewitched monarch, caught in a spell,
In thrall of a sorcerer and his minions fell.

Heroes we need,
Whose advice we shall joyfully heed,
To wake this vacant throne,
For the sake of a dormant sire, lying now lone.

Ages of grief,
Fair flowers no more blossom, no vivid leaf,
This realm ails in silence,
Drowning into its very blood, drained by violence.

Our marred kingdom,
Haven of fear, not of wisdom,
Calling for help as a far cry,
The hour has come to banish the faithless and unveil his lie.

MERRY NIGHT



Zitat
Merry night, merry night,
Moment for rest, leaving aside fight,
During the banquet we meet and tell fine stories of yore,
Until mind is made weak by liquor and the throat sore.

GONE WITH THE WIND



Zitat
Gone with the wind,
By the hand of a fiend,
A fine singer, bound to wither,
In a cage, deprived of ether.

Deprived of world's air,
Won and vanquished by the wicked sire of that lair,
A lord of ghouls,
Who on earth shall ever dare enter the cursed castle but fools?

THE CONTRACT



Zitat
Bilbo, Bilbo, we hope you're well and sound,
Your warm dwelling empty have we found,
Was the enterprise worth, were so all the battles you shall have fought?
Surely have you signed a contract of hazard, which tons of worries has indeed wrought.

WREATHED IN THE MIST



Zitat
Wreathed in silent mist,
So calm and quiet lie the peaks,
Which darkness did twist,
Thence come vapour, dust and leaks.

Mountains that saw much befall,
Raised in the past as malevolent wall,
The fate of their inhabitants ever has swung,
Between might and ruin, in suspension hung.

FROZEN GAOL



Zitat
Silent and still,
Wheels go not in the northern mill,
All seems to lie wasted,
Is this the sour war the world tasted?

As the third chapter of Arda began,
Pawns were moved, schemes were made to lay siege to Men,
An old horror engraved in the dense ice,
Pains which had not been seen for long by mortal eyes.

The frozen gaol was broken,
Undone, upset, woken,
Perfidious chill came with the new winter,
Setting loose the blood-thirsty hunter.

RETREAT



Zitat
Retreat, we shall hence retreat,
Foolish is to linger in the ends of wit,
We shall give up the bridge and forsake these walls,
Scattered and wounded by the strife that left nought else but holes.

Packs upon packs of filth will hold dominion,
Over the famed city of Gondor,
Which Men defended with admirable ardour,
From darts and arrows of Sauron's minion.

IT WERE ILL, IT WOULD FILL



Zitat
It were ill to disdain the good lunch,
It were ill to nay-say and forget to crunch,
Tasty bread and salty meat,
It would fill thy belly and so be it.

If folks be keen on dining,
Forswear the wary thought and cease the whining,
Thinkest thou not it were verily good?
It won't bode well to refuse food.

Come to the finely jolly Shire,
As lonesome wanderer or grand sire.

WATCHFUL WAIT



Zitat
So goes on its watchful wait,
Command of destiny, will of fate,
Beneath the deep dark wave,
Before the mine's walls we could not save,
A guardian, unknown beast,
Another peril near the great mist,
You, bold adventurer, halt your pace!
Only dead therein, with horror on their consumed face,
Beware of the monster inhabiting those sombre waters,
Which all unwary living captures and slaughters.

BUSY



Zitat
Busy they are all,
Those in the Evil's thrall,
Look, observe them strive,
So much, to hurt anything alive,
Can you see? Laborious hands work without pause,
In tainted lands, ruled not by laws,
Incessantly shall they serve their master,
For a new plagued world to foster,
As illness they do fester,
Unchained was the beast, freed the monster.

SKY HERALD



Zitat
Adamant his heraldry,
Servant of pure majesty,
Divine envoy for the common good,
To him respond realms, height, sea and wood.

Sky herald, greatest with blade,
At the behest of the West,
Never will your merry kingdom fade,
Not even in the darkest night, facing the hardest test.

The word of the Lord you have ever borne,
The sole holding rule on Arda,
No other woe shall we mourn,
Pray, be this true, miraculous Varda.

Holy messenger, forever we hail your name,
Hallowed potency, legendary fame,
At the apex of joy you stay,
Beside the King on his lit way.

DINNER



Zitat
Never be late for dinner,
That is wrong-doing, of a real sinner,
Here in the Shire cherish we the fine old meal,
Which evenly refreshes the tired and ill.
