Perfect Discord

An ancient time before the world could be conceived
Deep in black space before a sound could be perceived
Now a new gift given freely
Brings joy to all for they can hear
With minds open Valar begin
The first movement in unison
The choirs sing at first as one in praise of lord
But there is one taints the song with perfect discord
Others join in attracted to chaotic sound
Harsh croaking tone gurgling cut throat vomit spewed out
Nothing left of first melody
Drowned out now smashed down until
Dark musicians seem to have won
Chaos reigns here deafening all
The choirs sing at first as one in praise of lord
But there is one taints the song with perfect discord
Eru is near
Eru has come
My son Melkor do you not know these songs you sing
All came from me every note I’ve heard before
Now full of shame anger boiling
We are not part of this order
Apart we are beings of light
Our song will rage harmony breaks
The choirs sing at first as one in praise of lord
But there is one taints the song with perfect discord

BROTHERS WILL YOU HELP US
WE HAVE SWORN AN OATH AND
THESE LANDS ARE FORSAKEN
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
ALL CARVED BY HAND TALL MASTED SLOOP
YOUR GRACEFUL SHIPS WE NEED JUST A FEW
TO CARRY US (ACROSS) SUNDERING SEA
AND IN YOUR DEBT FOREVER WE’D BE
WE CAN OFFER SHELTER
WE KNOW OF YOUR OATH AND
WE WOULD BE FORSAKEN
TIME TO STOP AND THINK NOW
OUR SHIPS WE HAVE CARVED AND LEARNED HOW TO CREW
THESE WE CAN NOT GIVE NOT EVEN A FEW
IF WE AID YOU TO CROSS THE SEA
IN YOUR DOOM FOREVER WE’D BE
SO WE OFFER COLD STEEL
WE HAVE SWORN AN OATH AND
WE KNOW WE’RE FORSAKEN
NO TIME LEFT FOR PLEADING
YOUR SHIPS WE ARE TAKING BLOOD WILL BE SPILLED
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OUR OWN KIN WE’VE KILLED
AND NOW AS WE HEAD OUT TO SEA
A RED SUN RISES GRIM AND SLOWLY

Death, Doom & Ice
06:33

Now it’s our turn
We see the ships burn
From afar we descry
Black smoke in the sky
They’re not coming back
Empathy lack
Broken all bonds
Brown shriveled fronds
Death, doom and ice
That is our price
To leave these lands
Against their commands
Go or turn back
To gods we attack
Swallow thy pride
To ourselves we lied
Can we repent
Remorse is spent
There’s nothing left there
No will to repair
Death, doom and ice
That is our price
To leave these lands
Against their commands
And so we go north
That is our course
With what lies ahead
Most soon will be dead
A gentle breeze
To winds that freeze
Air that was calm
Soon will embalm
Death, doom and ice
That is our price
To leave these lands
Against their commands
Semi-solid seas churn
Soon the clever ones learn
Where it’s safe to tread
Or they end up dead
For a month we walk
Some forget how to talk
Nothing left but tears
We’ve forgotten our fears
Those who make it through
Know one thing is true
The curse merely delayed
Our doom will come one day

Dead Kings
06:08
|

|
The passage of time
Innate and sublime
Nothing stirring here
A void of endless fear
Drifting souls
Trapped between two worlds
Not alive
But either are we dead
Sheet of gray
Is all that we can see
We can hear
The living all around
Cold icy breath
The smell of death
A chilling moan
When you are alone
Look behind
The phantoms draw near
Are you mad
Or seeing clear
Faces green
Eye holes without eyes
Look into
Something that shouldn’t be
In doom they are bound
Dead kings in black shrouds
Voices to guide
Those who have died
Do not lose faith
Words of the wraith
Terror reign
Remember it well
Rule through pain
Now abide in hell
Transcend death
Writhe in agony
Blood soaked crown
Profane majesty
In doom they are bound
Dead kings in black shrouds
