The Sons of Fëanor

A fire in the night, An ocean burning bright, A fear raged in Fëanor, As he bathed in the light. The ships were burned in scorn Yet by the break of dawn The Doom of Mandor Already had begun Denied his wife’s request, Left her in the west, To wallow in misery, No sons for her caress. Consumed by furious rage, And lusting for the jewels, Fëanor was guided By forces grim and cruel. Go forth with Fëanor, Lord of all Lest you abandon the oath that we have sworn Go forth and leave me here, whilst ablaze I feel no pain My life is penance for the kin that we have slain Fleeing on the seas, Finarfin left in sorrow, Fingolfin was left ashore Abandoned to the snow As storms raged all around, They lost all sight of land, Darkened voices called on them Your doom is at hand Go forth with Fëanor, Lord of all Lest you abandon the oath that we have sworn Go forth and leave me here, whilst ablaze I feel no pain My life is penance for the kin that we have slain Unnumbered tears shall fall, Valinor will be walled. To evil ends you all will fail All for the kinslaying at Aqualonde

We cannot fight this war, Morgoth is lord of all His darkness conquers all And his blade is sharp and strong We hide underground, Like dwarves eternally bound To delve into the deep No rule without his crown Who is this man? What power does he have? No blood ties to this land Just a ‘gift’ that ensures his end No help from Thingol’s glade The Sindar will bring no aid Just claims that they were betrayed But no kin have been slain Hear now, the words of Fëanor ‘Brood of Morgoth or bright Vala Elda, Maia or Aftercomer Be he fair friend or unclean foe Dread nor danger nor Doom itself Shall save a man or elf Who keepeth a Silmaril Death will deal him a fate most ill’ Do not fear his darkened world The mighty jewels will be ours by the fold Our oath cannot be restrained Morgoth will fall by Noldorin blade

Fairest glimpse of twilight, You shine through the trees Calling me to your side. Tinúviel immortal, Your songs are winter’s bane Your eyes burn with divine flame Stranger in the shadows, I sense darkness in your mind. The Hunter’s friend no longer, His favour has left you blind You shall not be trapped by a mortal man, Your beauty has no place among the dead. The firstborn blood of Finwë Courses through my veins. Help me avenge those who were slain. As the elf lord Came bearing down On the maiden fair In her anguish and her despair Loyalties swung and her prison was laid bare The elf lord’s gift, From the forests of old Took his flight Away into the night, To find her hero and aid him in his plight

Deep underground, In the realm that never bowed The sorrows of the oath are truly found Blood fills the pools, From the blade of Caranthir cruel Again kin slay kin, for a jewel War, of elven sons Not for love Darkness prevails Compassion fails Three shall survive Three shall die None shall win The triumph is His Lost in the dark, Adrift in the past, A city once divine left in dust Swords were held high, Bright elven flags did fly And those once immortal were doomed to die The sun has set in Doriath, It will not rise again, The elven tide will falter to the hardiness of men Glorious sons of Fëanor, What have we become? Marching ever forward, we all fall one by one War, of elven sons Not for love Darkness prevails Compassion fails Three shall survive Three shall die None shall win The triumph is His

The flags of Fëanor ride once more, The havens shall be plunged into war Unspeakable horror in the night Doriath’s survivors cannot take flight The greatest horror, elf slays elf Illúvatar will weep For the sorrow of a thousand deaths Where once was only peace With memory of Losgar in the flames, Amras let himself be slain Finwë’s line continues to decay Yet untold tragedy still remains The greatest horror, elf slays elf Illúvatar will weep For the sorrow of a thousand deaths Where once was only peace Broken bodies all around, A tragic end to life The bloodstained flag no longer flies Now Thingol’s line has died

Enchanted by its beauty, Glistening with ancient gleam All my evils are forgotten This jewel is precious to me The world has been freed of its darkness, The evil taken in chains Like dreams that I heard from my father, Our birth right has been claimed Is it the pain of my longing, This searing sensation I feel? Are the torments that I have inflicted, Returning to haunt me? I will not suffer this feeling Fire will be my release Filled with regret at my cruelty I offer myself unto thee

Doomed to bear the burden of immortal life, Forever lost beneath the starlight Time will never wear away the memory, The horrors we committed in our insanity Our brothers burning in the cold, The joy of youth lost to days of old The waves of time now overbear Oh bring back my brothers to me, From senseless tales of tragedy I await them by the shores of life Reflecting for all time on what I have lost, We swore our Father’s oath but did not know the cost Beside the waves I will endure eternally, Yet for our crimes, Elfkind fades from memory Our brothers burning in the cold, The joy of youth lost to days of old The waves of time now overbear Oh bring back my brothers to me, From senseless tales of tragedy I await them by the shores of life
