| Summoning – Land of the Dead Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
The song is a tribute to The Lay of Leithian which tells the story of Beren and Lúthien in thousands of lines of rhyming couplets. "Where the forest-stream went through the wood, and silent all the stems there stood of tall trees, moveless, hanging dark with mottled shadows on their bark above the green and gleaming river, there came through leaves a sudden shiver, a windy whisper through the still cool silences; and down the hill, as faint as a deep sleeper's breath, an echo came as cold as death: 'Long are the paths, of shadow made where no foot's print is ever laid, over the hills, across the seas! Far, far away are the Lands of Ease, but the Land of the Lost is further yet, where the Dead wait, while ye forget. No moon is there, no voice, no sound of beating heart; a sigh profound once in each age as each age dies alone is heard. Far, far it lies, the Land of Waiting where the Dead sit, in their thought's shadow, by no moon lit." |
