In the Presence of Mandos Songtext
von Ainur

She chose to bring Beren back to life
She wilfully got the gift of death
Forsaking the realm of blessedness
To dwell where mortality is rife

In her the two kindreds have been joined
In the eyes of many you will see
The likeness of Lúthien the beloved
The dancer that shone upon the lea


At the door that seems impassable
On the borders of the invisible
At the end of every suffering
Let me stay awhile
In the aura of divinity
In the limbo of expectancy
Like a pilgrim at the eve of day
Let me kneel and pray

I′m shedding, I'm shedding
All the world′s tears
We've waited too long
In this painful wake of so many years

Our kindred and their
Their two paths have crossed
If you know what pity is
Oh, allow me to touch
The bound of death
The bound of death
