A tribute to Finrod Felagund

The darkness of our cell closes in

Now there is only the pale glow of skin

Another roar, another scream, another death

These men were your brothers

Sworn to fight and die in battle by your side.

Heavy worries lie on your brow, stronger than ever

Thingol's fair daughter waits for you still

But you my friend have lost all hope of seeing her again

There are not many of us left now

Soon they will come for you Beren

Another roar, another scream, another death

In that moment I must do something.

Not so long ago I made a promise

We of the Eldar do not break them easily

How can you mortals stand the thought of death?

To live life knowing that it must end

I have no such preparation.

We do not teach our children that death cometh

Another roar, another scream, another death

They are promised forever

Looking into your eyes I see fear, but also strength.

Turning my face away I am glad that

Mortal eyes cannot see in such dark

For I know my face is etched with fear.

The cell door is slammed open

They come for you

Another roar, another scream, another death

Standing, shackles clanking, I summon my strength

The chains fail halfway along their length

Your startled face seems to look up to mine

A glimmer of hope that is all I need to go on

Your trust sets my plan in motion

Not even the roars of the beast can shake my heart now

This is something that must be done

Another roar, another scream, another death

My legs carry me through the cell door and down the passage

It is here I must face my destiny

The wolf slobbers, blood dripping from its jaws

Collecting all the strength I posses, I jump

Sinking my teeth in deep.
