Glimpses of Arda by Lairewen

Maglor's Lament

Maglor's Lament

I sing.

I sing for my lost brothers, who I will never see again in the life of Arda.

I sing for the terrible oath that brought us to such a grievous end, an oath that should never have been sworn.

I sing for the blood that was spilt, for the lives I took in the upholding of that rashly sworn oath.

I sing for what could have been... peace and harmony on the shores of Valinor.

I sing for the Silmarils, for the purity tainted by hate and greed with which we pursued them.

I sing for Earendil, for his sacrifice and nobility that I could never hope to attain.

I sing for myself, for my troubled soul that may never find peace.

I sing.

The End
