lyrics

(Lofty Hymn for Dying)

The time has come to say farewell
To lay to rest what dreams still dwell
Within this heart, this hearth gone cold
To ashen tomb of thoughts untold
And may the barren timber suffer no new flames to rise
May no songs be sung, no grieving done
For all that lives must die, for all that lives must die...

I can see
The sun in woe descending
I can see
A lightlessness unending
I go with goodwill to the place where night and day adjourn
To the twilight from whence all things come and to all things return
And to all things return...

[A journey ends, another begins
A far green place one finds within
The maw of death, no listless void
I go not in despair but joy...]

I shed my mortal bonds and found a road
Twas marked with stones and tokens left by lost departed souls such as I
[Endlessly the road goes on
Into a dusk that has no dawn...]
Wreathed in starlight, paved with rime
Untethered by the bounds of time
My steps like dirges rang sorrowful and high...

Upon this road I'd traveled far and long
When to my ears drifted the threads of a song
Strands of verse and melody entwined with rhyme and threnody
Familiar, yet unknown
Sang by many and yet my own
A seed of hope and purpose grew, turned wretchedness to strength anew...

[When at last the shadow falls
Amidst the dark you'll hear the call
Of sea, of distant shores ahead
So trouble not your hearts with dread...]

A Ind Naergon...
(A lament for the soul...)

[Taur ist... Thelion... An gwanath... Cil ira...]
(Sublime wisdom, Purpose, Death, Renewal)

[A Nirnaeth an Dennen...]
(A lament for the fallen...)

When I fell upon my sword and the light fled my eyes not a soul was there to bear me away
The earth drank deep of my life's blood and no mound was raised
To no high hall my spirit borne, no offerings my grave adorned
So thus I died as I had lived
Unsung and unwritten
Bereaved, I crawled from my uninterred remains
Aggrieved, I set off again in search of all I'd left behind
And in my desolation I hung myself aright
On the tree of life, and there in ruin and madness found a light, a song...
