[Verse] [Female vocal] Beneath the leaves of Lórien I sang alone A voice born in twilight, a soul carved in stone But far from the starlight and moon-silvered trees I followed her scent on the rust-ridden breeze [Verse] [Female Vocal] She sat in a dive bar where the floor stuck with gin Old neon burned through the smoke and the din The jukebox was broken, the whiskey was cheap And there, I first saw her—feral and deep [Chorus] [Female vocal] I would have cast away Valinor's peace Given the light of Telperion’s trees I would have sung the Doom of Mandos anew Let the world burn if I could walk it with you [Verse] [Female vocal] I have walked with Beren through fire and night I have faced the Dark Lord, I have stolen the light I, who once danced where no mortal may tread Was lost in her scent and the heat of her bed [Verse] [Female vocal] We shattered the mirror between soul and skin She bit down on my lip and the world caved in She slept like a fire that refused to go cold And I clung to the ashes like relics of gold [Chorus] [Female vocal] I would have torn the stars from Varda’s skies Fallen from grace for the curve of her thighs I would have silenced the Valar’s decree If she'd looked once with mercy on me [Bridge – Elvish Quenya lament] Nai elenath nurruvalyë, Scuzzy nárelya Scuzzy melmë nís, nai quétë lómillo Nai elenya auta, ar Scuzzy úvëa Scuzzy, ná sinta… Scuzzy, ná sinta… [Final Chorus – devastating, luminous] [Female vocal] I would have given the Song of the Ainur The White Flame of Eru, the long Elven shore Forsaken the Sea and the westward wind Just to be what her arms were reaching for But she runs from the light, and she sleeps in the grime And I age not, but I mourn beyond time She was fleeting, and fierce, and I could not win— And the light I would have given— She never let in [Outro – Spoken whisper, soft] Tinúviel is silent now. And the stars do not answer.
