Style: Cinematic Orchestral, Ethereal Fantasy, Female Soprano, Symphonic, Emotional Build, Harp and Flute Intro Mood: Melancholic, Epic, Romantic [Intro] (Harp glissando and soft woodwinds) (Slow orchestral build-up) [Verse 1] Amidst the shadows of Doriath she swayed Starlight woven in the mantle she displayed A mortal lost, destiny found its way Tinúviel, the nightingale, turned night to day (Soft strings entering) [Verse 2] The king demanded a jewel from the dark To grant her hand, a perilous mark Beren departed to the fortress of dread Where shadows rise and hope is dead (Cellos adding depth) [Pre-Chorus] Neither iron, nor death, nor fear could bind The secret kept within heart and mind Two worlds collide, the light and the pain A price paid in blood, love breaks the chain [Chorus] Oh, Lúthien! The night bows down to thee The star that fell, the love I see Beyond the circles of the world and the sea Where fate cannot sever you from me (Orchestral swell, soaring vocals) [Verse 3] Before the throne of the Dark Lord's might She sang a spell of pure woven light The Silmaril shines in the hand that was torn By the ravenous wolf, in a land forlorn (Percussion creating tension) [Bridge] In the Halls of Mandos, silence wept Immortality she no longer kept (Violin solo, sad and emotional) A mortal life, one final breath Together in shadow, beyond death [Instrumental Solo] [Vocals Backing Ad-libs] [Chorus] Oh, Lúthien! The night bows down to thee The star that fell, the love I see Beyond the circles of the world and the sea Where fate cannot sever you from me [Breakdown and crescendo solo] [Chorus] (Powerfully, full orchestra) Oh, Lúthien! The flame that never ends You chose the abyss where the pathway bends And when the world finally fades away Our souls united shall find the day [Outro] (Harp fading out) Tinúviel... (Silence)
