Beren and Luthien Songtext

In his fight against the enemy
Beren fought hard and strong
Against the dark lord Morgoth
and the hellish Morgul throng!

He was forced to flee the battle
When his army was destroyed
The Elven realm of Doriath
That is where he did arrive.

There he saw a female elf, in the woods of Neldoreth,
such beauty he had never seen.
He called to her "Tinuviel", when they met they fell in love,
her father would not be so keen.
"To win my daughter Lúthien, bring to me a silmaril",
this was Thingol′s quest to Beren.
"I accept this perilous task, I shall journey to Angband,
I swear you will see me again"


He journeyed to Nargothrond, a vast Elven stronghold,
Ten warriors joined him on the road to Angband.
'Neath the shadowy mountains and disguised as orcs,
They were observed by Sauron as they crossed his land.

Sauron′s forces attacked, they tried hard to resist,
They failed in their struggle and were captured by him.
On the isle of werewolves many died by these beasts,
Beren survived but his chances seemed grim.

He did not know that Lúthien, had secretly been following,
And she came with Celegorm's hound.
The hound killed all the wolves in sight, Beren ran into the night,
And would try his task once more.
Lúthien was by his side, and they came to Morgoth's throne,
A magic spell then made him sleep.
Beren seized a silmaril, Morgoth wakened from his spell,
A giant werewolf then appeared.
It bit and swallowed Beren′s hand, the silmaril burned its insides,
It ran off in agony.
The two lovers both escaped, and returned to Doriath,
The tale had softened Thingol′s heart.


He allowed their union, though Beren's task was not fulfilled,
Beren left to find the wolf.
And find the wolf is what he did, but the wolf had gone insane,
Beren died but did prevail.
The silmaril had been retrieved, but at great a consequence,
Lúthien and Beren died.
But Lord Mandos did feel grief, restoring mortal life to them,
They would live as one again.
