Song Lyrics These songs aren't available in audio format but are supposed to be sung as opposed to read, like fan fiction. Elwen Aiwelinde submitted three songs: Unconquered Sung to the Irish tune "The Minstrel Boy," about death of Fingolfin Down from the sky a star he cameOn a horse made of song he came riding And saw the darkness that covered all And the free folk in fear abiding, He said, "For you I will shine my light And drive away the endless Night." And with a song the star took flight Into the gloaming passing.... Against the Darkness on a wind-swept hill The bright star shone defiant And sent the challange to his ancient foe Who answered though unvaliant And in the Night the star he fell, And whither then no tale does tell, But evil could not his spirit quell In the sky he shines unconquered.... Dagorlindale Sung to the Irish tune "Roisin the Bow," about the march of the Noldor into Beleriand at the time of the Rising of the Sun. Come now to me down from the mountains Come now from the river and dale And follow me under my banner Beneath the new moon white and pale Beneath the new moon white and pale Beneath the new moon white and pale And follow me under my banner Beneath the new moon white and pale Down from the cold North we come marching Both kinsmen and foe lie ahead So let your bright swords now come flashing To fight the Lord of Lies and Dread To fight the Lord of Lies and Dread To fight the Lord of Lies and Dread So let your bright swords now come flashing To fight the Lord of Lies and Dread And lo! as the trumpets are sounded And brave hearts are lifted up high Like fire that is kindled and leaping The Sun rises up in the sky The Sun rises up in the sky The Sun rises up in the sky Like fire that is kindled and leaping The Sun rises up in the sky Bright silver and blue fly our banners And flowers at our passing do spring And to the Sun music is lifted As from the hills our horns do ring As from the hills our horns do ring As from the hills our horns do ring And to the Sun music is lifted As from the hills our horns do ring As leaves that are scattered and blowing The foul host before us it flees For elven-wrath they cannot challenge Nor bear the last Light of the Trees Nor bear the last Light of the Trees Nor bear the last Light of the Trees For Elven-wrath they cannot challenger Nor bear the last Light of the Trees Now shadowed long years lie between us And friends have passed over the Sea And gone are the horns that were blowing And sound in my memory And sound in my memory And sound in my memory And gone are the horns that were blowing And sound in my memory Yet true hearts will never be conquered And stars still shine bright in the sky And proudly we fight against darkness Whenever our banners may fly Whenever our banners may fly Whenever our banners may fly And proudly we fight against darkness Whenever our banners may fly Ainulindale Sung to an original composition, about the creation of Arda Kindled in me, the Flame Eternal Given the gift of minstrelsy Stars in the heavens born of song World in the darkness, shining, Ea! Let there be made amidst the Void A place we will shape and dwell within Heaven and earth and air and sea Let the dawn of time begin Sing now of air, the sky above Province of Eagles taking wing Winds in the clouds that carry back All tidings to the Elder King Sing now of twilight over all Brightened with stars forever blest Shaped from the Fire, silver, gold Hope for the weary and opressed Sing now of trees that spread their leaves Gathering wisdom o'er the years Words without voice that all could tell Watered with rainfall's loving tears Sing now of earth of craft and loom Mithril and gold and jewels fair Mason and carver, smith and forge Guardian of all that labor there Sing of the Sea that never slumbers Fountains of foam and waves and spray Life-breath of Arda, in your depths Echoes of Music sing today Kindled in me, the Flame Eternal Given the gift of minstrelsy Stars in the heavens born of song World in the darkness, shining, Ea!
