Lament for Lórien

Out of battle I did come

Afraid of darkness, afraid of the sun

The Gods led my feet to the kingdom now gone

Fairest of them all... Fairest of them all

Blessed be the golden wood

Where trees were new that ages stood

For haunted souls and sanctuary true

And fairest of them all... Fairest of them all

O, what joy, what balm for wounds

To stray beneath the stars

Where elvenmaids did dance as light

As leaf on lindentre... Leaf on lindentree

In the mirror i did see

What hunts me in my dreams, brings me to my knees

Would that forever I could hide midst the trees

In Lorien the fair

Could I stay i would never leave

Could I stay I would ever be

In timeless land where shineth no moon

Yet I must leave here soon

O, the burden laid on me

My quest is hard to bear

Succes or failure both shall be

The end of Goldenfair... The end of Goldenfair

I set my sails and leave this world

To me all seemed bare

For neverafter shall i walk

In Lorien the fair... Lorien the fair

A dream now gone, a name in a song

The garden of the Gods, faded and lost

Noone now lingers where mallorn once grew

And my world's fading too

All laurie lantar laassi surinen
