Tol Morwen - Ainur

It took too long

To retrace the steps

Of time gone by

In secluded depths

No breath, no tears

Stark rigidity

No peace of mind

Just obscurity

The westering sun

Has gone beyond

The mountains greyness and silence

Have covered all the world

And the forlorn one is now eternally alone

His invocation will remain unheard

Contorted limbs

Of a blasted tree

Tormented thoughts

That no-one can see

Contorted limbs

Of a blasted tree

Tormented thoughts

That no-one can see

A vagrant hound

Of revenge that runs (that runs)

A shadow that everybody shuns

The time of rest has come

The time of quietened breathing

Of whirlwinds that stop seething

When all the air is dumb

The westering sun

Has gone beyond the mountains

Greyness and silence

Have covered all the world

And the forlorn one

Is now eternally alone

His invocation

Will remain unheard

The westering sun

Has gone beyond the mountains

Greyness and silence

Have covered all the world

And the forlorn one

Is now eternally alone

His invocation

Will remain unheard

Contorted limbs

Of a blasted tree

Tormented thoughts

That no-one can see

Contorted limbs

Of a blasted tree

Tormented thoughts

That no-one can see
