From those days of darkness, war, and grief,
Only a few tales of love and passion have survived to this very day
Yet there is one, bright like a brilliant star that outshines the nightfall
Listen carefully now, lest any detail escapes your attention about the invincible might of true love.
He roamed the wood of Neldoreth
His name was Beren - at dusk he saw Luthien
Like a shining star her gleam enchanted his heart, so he fell in love
In his mind only Luthien Thinuviel, daughter of breaking dawn
Beren and Luthien - a love damned by fate
The father of Luthien was the king of the elbs
Great was his anger, Thingol his name
As he saw Beren to an evil decision he came
Beren's face turned to white
As Thingol said what he wanted:
"A single gem of the crown of Morgoth -
just bring me the Silmaril!"
So he agreed, travelling down to Angband for love
Hard was his journey through lands of hate
Luthien joined him to light him the way
By his side she stood, hard was their journey
Through lands of hate, full of fear and pain
Hopeless in Angband they finally arrived
After all they reached their goal
Dusty stairs and darkened lights
Leading down to Morgoth's might
Deadly hate which killed theri hope
Their only shield was their love
Reached the gate of Morgoth's hall
The hellish point of no return
Shining so brightly
They saw the Silmaril
Shining so brightly
So clear like a bird a song hurting all evil
Only Luthien's voice defeated his might
Morgoth began to sleep
Luthien took the Silmaril
She fulfilled Beren's quest
Started to retreat before Morgoth awioke
Quick now was their escape
to leave these lands of hate
to reach the end of their tale
Fulfilling their fate
See them...
As time went by still memories haunt their minds
See them...
But all heroes sacrifice
See them...
As time went by still memories haunt their minds
See them...
though marked by life death might reunify
