MORTHAL SÍOR ("The Eternal Darkness")

[Intro - A distant church bell tolls once.] [Silence.] [A low drone emerges from contrabasses. Solo Celtic harp plucks isolated notes. A single female voice breathes...] "Ooooooh..." [Low male choir enters like distant monks.] "Morthal..." "Morthal..." [Verse 1 - Only harp, bass flute, cello and whispering choir.] Morthal vé... Lethar caen... Nocthir vaela... An dor faen... Sírion naeth... Mor enya... Caela thír... Vael moría... [Pre-Chorus - High violins slowly begin trembling. The choir breathes beneath the orchestra. French horns answer the vocal.] "Lór..." "Lór..." [Chorus - The full orchestra swells. Massive choir. Deep percussion enters.] Morthal síor... Caela mór... Aníra... Lethar... Moría... Ahhhhhhhhhhh... Vaelë... Vaelë... Morthal... [Wordless soaring soprano] Aaahhhhhhhhhhh... [Instrumental - Solo violin cries above enormous strings. Taiko drums begin a slow heartbeat. Timpani rolls like distant thunder. Low choir chants beneath.] [Verse 2 - Cellos carry the melody.] Anor faela... Sír naeth... Caela mór... Leth eneth... Melin dor... Nocthir vae... Morthal síor... Enya fae... [Bridge - Everything falls away. Only breathing. Solo harp. Single cello. Whispered female vocal.] "Can you hear..." "The darkness..." "It remembers..." [Choir slowly answers from the distance.] "Ooooooh..." [Build - The orchestra grows relentlessly. Violins climbing higher. Choir expanding. French horns calling. Massive low brass. Thunder rolls. The heartbeat becomes unstoppable.] [Final Chorus - Everything explodes into full cinematic scale.] MORTHAL SÍOR! CAELA MÓR! LÓRIEN! VAELA! MORTHAL!! (Full mixed choir) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Aaahhhhhhhhhhh... Sírion... Morthal... Caela... Mo... Chroí... [Outro - The orchestra suddenly disappears. Only a single low cello remains. The church bell tolls again. A lone female voice whispers...] "Morthal..." [Silence.]
