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 came
On 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!
