Nálien Va Selyra (Sleep Now In Silver)
[Verse 1] Sleep now in silver, O star-child divine, The light of the moon lays its crown upon thine. From crystal-born rivers to skies ever blue, The lull of the starlight now watches o’er you. [Verse 2] Dream where the mountains kiss heavens so high, Where songs of the ancients still wander and fly. Let slumber enfold you, ‘neath Ilmathar’s grace, And peace find your spirit in twilight’s embrace. [Chorus] Rest now, beloved, where soft dreamwinds roam, Beyond every sorrow, beyond every foam. The stars keep their vigil, the night sings low, And through fields of wonder your bright spirit goes. Sleep in the silence where moonflowers bloom, Far from all shadows, far from all gloom. The heavens shall guard you wherever you stray, Till dawn's golden fingers awaken the day. [Verse 3] The white dragons circle through sapphire fire, Their wings weave the songs of the ancient choir. They watch from the heavens with luminous eyes, Like guardians fashioned from starlitten skies. [Verse 4] The forests are dreaming in silver and gold, Of legends remembered and stories untold. Each leaf bears a blessing, each breeze bears a hymn, While night paints the world with her lanterns dim. [Chorus] Rest now, beloved, where soft dreamwinds roam, Beyond every sorrow, beyond every foam. The stars keep their vigil, the night sings low, And through fields of wonder your bright spirit goes. Sleep in the silence where moonflowers bloom, Far from all shadows, far from all gloom. The heavens shall guard you wherever you stray, Till dawn's golden fingers awaken the day. [Bridge] And if in your dreaming you wander afar, Follow the light of the eldest star. For Nūramir's whisper shall light every way, And guide you through night to the dawn of the day. [Final Chorus] Sleep now in silver, O star-child so dear, The song of creation is all that you hear. The moon keeps her watch and the heavens shine through, While all of Ilmathar is dreaming with you. Sleep now in silver, let all burdens cease, Wrapped in the mantle of infinite peace. Till morning awakens the valleys anew, The stars and the dragons keep watch over you. [Outro] [soft female choir] Sleep now... sleep now... beneath starlight's glow... Dream now... dream now... where crystal rivers flow... Sleep now in silver... O star-child divine... The night and the heavens forever are thine...
