Nuruhuinë
06:12
|

The Shadow's shadow looms
Over Arda's lands –
Death with empty hands
Has come to till the tombs –
The sea, the sky, the star,
They mourn the morning mist,
And all that shall be missed –
Come, come, Ilúvatar!
Now shines the brightest light,
Never so much seen – yet
Has the Sun not set ?
This is the darkest night –

Hróta

|
|||
A veil upon a veil,
A cave within a cave,
No need for stick and flail,
For you are Hróta's slave.

Namárië
05:04
|
|||
Gone the fallen leaves the wind has swept,
Forever lost the feathers of countless years,
The ruins of wordless walls beyond the West,
The everlasting echo of swords and spears —
Beneath the flickering flames in Varda’s vault,
There flows a river blue without a halt…
Who shall now refill the chalice in my hands?
For now has Varda’s veil of mist and clouds
Enshrined the vales and mounts of Valimar,
And darkness, spreading like a thousand shrouds,
Has drowned the paths of yore — and nevermore
Shall the jewels of Calacirya shine,
Nor ring the Eastern bells within their shrine!
Namarië! Who shall now find Valimar?
It might be you indeed. Namarië!
(Based on the eponymous poem by JRR Tolkien)

Anarórë
01:45
|
|||
From the East it came –
The Light that ever shines,
Yet never burns the same,
Upon the Elders' lines.

Rámalókë
04:39
|
|||
Within and around
Mountains and vales,
His treasures abound –
Feathers and scales –
Above and below,
Oceans and clouds,
They heave and billow,
Breathing out shrouds –
The earth and the sky,
Spiraling up,
The snake and the fly,
Conjuring up –
The fish and the bird
Swimming with wings,
His breath and his word
Shaping his rings –
Life and death the same
in Rámalókë's name.

Nolwë
02:00
|

One are all things born –
Yet from the Only Truth
Long have men been torn:
Thus speaks the sage in sooth.
Hearken to the Fates
And listen to the Lore:
Ancient Wisdom waits
Beyond Henfanwa's door!
A welcome halt
Your heart to sound.
Look with eyes unsealed:
Your chest a treasure holds.
What was once concealed
The Wise Man's word unfolds –
One are all things born –
Yet from this Only Truth
Long have men been torn:
Thus spoke the sage in sooth.

Henfanwa
05:39
|

Henfanwa, Henfanwa, wherefore
Have you closed the lockless door?
We the cave dwellers crave the light
Without – oh, can't you hear us scream?
We the gravediggers brave the night
Within – oh, can't you see us gleam?
Henfanwa, Henfanwa, wherefore
Have you closed the lockless door?
Mother, Matter, Space and Time,
Their darkness creeps upon us all –
Father, heed their artful rhyme,
This madness seeps out on the Soul!
Henfanwa, Henfanwa, wherefore
Have you closed the lockless door?

Werna Wolf France
I don't compose.
I remember.
Dungeon synth, chiptunes, ambient,
horror, black metal: I delve into various genres, moods and atmospheres, to explore that which lies deepest and highest soars in the manifold possibilities of the human soul.
