[00:06.35]MANDOS TO LÚTHIEN
[00:09.28]For what you have done
[00:13.43]And everything been through
[00:17.14]Suspended between
[00:21.28]Dimensions where phantasms look true
[00:25.21]When your empty hands
[00:29.36]Are lifted in the last sacrifice
[00:32.92]And daylight is down,
[00:37.25]Laid down in a coffin of ice
[00:41.30]Your wish is granted
[00:45.20]Mere bliss or humanity
[00:48.80]The seed is planted
[00:53.43]In the deep soil of your liberty
[00:57.21]Your word has been heard
[01:01.24]And Middle-earth will hold you again,
[01:06.20]A living woman
[01:13.46]A torrent will flow to the main
[01:21.93]LAND OF THE DEAD THAT LIVE
[01:22.63]They have gone to the place that no-one can reach
[01:28.98]To the verdant island of rarefied sheen
[01:36.36]The far-distant strand of golden desire
[01:45.65]Amber light enwrapped in a mantle of green
[02:09.73]They will not come back from the pearly twilight,
[02:17.34]A beckoning flash, tantalising farewell
[02:25.97]But the vision has not gone away
[02:33.22]Because to them immortality bowed
[02:41.74]And the dead that live are sung in the lay
[02:50.04]That takes wing in an amethyst cloud
[02:57.58]Soaring high when the evensong has passed,
[03:04.63]Shining through age-old extents of dejection,
[03:16.78]Staying still, like the lingering reflection
[03:24.56]Of the ancient music that was hushed
[03:32.10]That was hushed
[03:37.60]So your tree will grow, and it will not die
[03:48.75]Rooted in the earth, reaching to the sky
[03:55.44]Higher than your hope, never to subside
[04:12.91]DIOR AND THE RE-CONQUEST OF DORIATH
[04:25.37]Their heir is shaken from his reverie,
[04:37.23]From the green paradise where he was born
[04:48.44]Clangours of combat break into his dream
[04:55.21]With the shrill bidding of the battle horn
[05:01.33]So your tree will grow, and it will not die
[05:14.17]Rooted in the earth, reaching to the sky
[05:26.18]Higher than your hope, never to subside
[05:37.85]A new breed of kings coming to abide
[05:49.23]See, the hordes are arriving
[05:55.20]They are laden with treasure
[06:01.21]Gear of war on their shoulders
[06:06.54]Red revenge without measure
[06:13.20]See the son and the father
[06:19.09]On the dwarves they are falling
[06:24.50]See the jewel retaken
[06:30.44]Amid wrestle and squalling
[06:37.35]A new sovereign has risen
[06:42.97]The high spirit alighted
[06:49.20]On the child of three races
[06:55.23]Now forever united
[07:01.90]THE NAUGLAMIR
[07:02.01]Hasten your step
[07:06.26]Because autumn nights are dark
[07:13.38]And rooks fly fast
[07:18.84]In sundown’s dying spark
[07:25.57]From Ossiriand
[07:30.60]You, herald of majesty
[07:37.24]Gallop along
[07:41.69]With the speed of fatality
[08:42.73]On him the ardent necklace sits,
[08:48.71]The glory of the threefold race
[08:54.53]It was a spectacle of force
[09:00.42]A dwelling where resplendence housed
[09:06.59]A premonition of more wars
[09:12.48]Before the Gods’ anger was roused
