Translation:

Children of Iluvatar


"An alliance once existed between Elves and Men.  Long ago we fought
and died together."

Open your eyes young brother
See this world with me
The Sun
She rose to greet your dawn
To light the path before you
So you could walk with me

At night I lift my voice
To sing you into dreams
Why do you fear the dark?
The stars
Have always been there
And the wild Moon won't fall

I watch you grow
As ages pass
But you seem so young to me
You wander the years
In innocence
Until the world breaks down your walls

"The time of the Elves is over.  Do we leave middle-earth to its
fate? Do we let them stand alone?"

Lessons in life
Dangerous to learn
Must be taught again
With each turning of the cycle
My heart
Breaks at your fallen tears

Take my hand young brother
I'll lead you from the field
Where death
In all its mystery lay upon the grass
I see the blood
A reflection on your face

My spirit
Cries and desires
To leave your side
And sail away
To where I'll know no pain
And I won't again tell you good-bye.
