To keep the glory of the elves
The wisdom and the lore
In stone or wooden, deep we carved
With sharp blades ancient Cirth!

But signs we made on younger springs
Angerthas Däeron?
Were left to fondness of the Dwarves
For our need to write was strong!

For elven deeds were mighty and great
And books took place of wooden and stone:

So better signs
Had to be born...

So cry, Tengwesta Kwendion!
The light of Valinor
Lays deep within these magic forms
With the power of the song!

They came with Fëanor the cursed
When Middle-Earth was young
But blood spoiled written pages then
And grief was our bane...

For Elfhand killed the elf by the sword,
Shall mourn do never come to an end?

The saddest tale
Had to be told...

Tengwar, tengwar, treasure of the elves
Tengwar, magic signs

Tengwar, tengwar, legacy of elves
Tengwar, in my heart

Tengwar, tengwar, treasure of the elves
Tengwar, magic signs

Tengwar, tengwar, legacy of elves
Tengwar, in my sword

Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen
Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
Mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva

Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
Nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?
Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
Ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë,
Ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
Ar sindanóriello caita mornië

I falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
I falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
Untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!

Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië!

My life turns into sand
Immortality is my dream
Man shall follow my command
Sorcery shall conquer my fear

Astral magic and runic wand
I feel that wisdom's near
Across the mountain's ice
Scarlett at the equinox' dawn

I sacrificed an innocent lamb
And drunk the wine of paradise
But, still run the sands of time
Just one thing yet to be done

As spell surround me
At a lightmass' night
He raised the abyss
Covered by the sword

I sold my soul in vein
I feel it, as he returns
The sands of time will never run
For an immortal dead man
