Out of battle I did come Afraid of darkness, afraid of the sun The Gods led my feet to the kingdom now gone Fairest of them all; Fairest of them all Blesséd be the golden wood Where trees were new that ages stood For haunted souls a sanctuary true And fairest of them all; Fairest of them all O, what joy, what balm for wounds To stray beneath the stars Where elvenmaids did dance as light As leaf on lindentree; Leaf on lindentree In the mirror I did see What haunts me in my dreams, brings me to my knees Would that forever I could hide midst the trees In Lórien the fair Could I stay I would never leave Could I stay I would ever be In timeless land where shineth no moon Yet I must leave here soon O, the burden laid on me My quest is hard to bear Success and failure both shall be The end of Goldenfair; The end of Goldenfair I set my sails and leave this world To me all seemeth bare For neverafter shall I walk In Lórien the fair; Lórien the fair A dream now gone, a name in a song The garden of the Gods, faded and lost Noone now lingers where mallorn once grew And my world's fading too Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen
