SUMMONING 

DOL GULDUR 
  


Nightshade Forests 
  
And in the glade a light was seen 
Of stars in shadows shimmering 
Immortal maiden elven-wise... 
Long was the way through iron halls 
And darkling doors 

And woods of nightshade morrowless 
elven-wise dance for me 
Cold be hand and heart and bone 
And cold be my sleep under stone 
Never more I'll wake on stony bed 
Never - 'til the Sun fails 
And the Moon is dead 

In the black wind the stars shall die 
And still on gold here let them lie 
'Til the Dark Lord lifts His hand 
Over dead sea and withered land 

And I'll fly away... 
Where I dwell no one can say 
For into darkness fell my star 
In Mordor, where the shadows are

Elfstone         

All that is gold does not glitter 
All that is long does not last 
All that is old does not wither 
Not all that is over is past 
And I may not get through in time 
Oh, Elfstone - bearer of my green stone 
In the south under snow a green stone thou shalt see  Elfstone 

In the shadow of the dark throne 
For the hour is at hand that long hath awaited thee 
Greenleaf - bearer of the Elvenbow 
Far beyond Mirkwood many trees on earth grow 
Thy last shaft when thou hast shot 
Under the mournful trees thou shalt walk 
For dark are the waters of Kheledzaram 

And my heart trembles at the thought that I may see them soon 
I am longing for harmony - the freedom within me 
Out of dark to the day’s rising … 
I came crying in the sun - sword unsheathing 
To hope’s end I rode and to heart’s breaking 
Now for wrath … 

---repeat 1 st verse – 

Now for ruin - and a red nightfall 
When the black breath blows - and death’s shadows grow 
All lights pass 
Life to the dying - in my hand lying 
Shrivel like the old mist - like the winds go wailing 

-- repeat 2 nd verse -- 

Shrivel like the old mist - like the winds go wailing 
Lost and forgotten be - darker than the darkness 
Where gates stand for ever shut 
‘Til the world is mended 
  

Khazad-Dum 
  
From ashes a fire be woken 
A light from the shadows shall spring 
Renewed shall be blade that was broken 
The crownless shall again be king 

The world is grey, the mountains old 
The forge's fire is ashen and cold 
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls 
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls 

The shadow lies upon his tomb 
But still the sunken stars appear 
In the dark and windless Mirrormere 
There lies his crown in waterdeep 

'Til Durin wakes again from sleep 
A deadly sword, a healing hand 
A trumpet voice, a burning hand 
A lord of wisdom...  died 

Fire and Shadow - both defied 
In Khazad-Dum his wisdom died 
In joy thou hast lived 
In joy thou hast lived 

If thou hearest the cry 
Of the gull on the shore 
Thy soul shall then rest 
in the forest no more
