The Faithful

Thou forsaken king,
Forgive us our weakness,
Trust us.
We are here together,
The ten who remained faithful,
And the one who led us to torment,
Beren Barahirion.

But in pain
No one will deny him,
No one will lust to take revenge…
In black dungeons,
Neath heavy walls
We’ll remain faithful.
Under lashes and whips,
In dreadful torture,
Amid great pain,
We’ll remain faithful.
No, thou Cruel,
Thou wilt not master our minds,
For even in death
We’ll remain faithful.

We cannot leave thee,
Atandil the Forsaken…
Aranemma, our lives are given
To save thee.
The one who’s the last to die
Will remind
Of the estel.
And even in Mandos,
Midst eternal shadows,
Thou wilt know
We were faithful.
