The Leap of Beren

Verse 1: In shadows deep, we journeyed on, From Nargothrond to Himring's dawn. Maedhros' halls, our final quest, But fate would put our love to test. With kelegorm's fierce charge at hand, Kurufin's cunning, dark as sand, He captured Lúthien, fair and bright, And rode away into the night. Chorus 1: I leapt with might, through air so clear, To save my love from bonds of fear. With hands so strong, I held him tight, Ensuring she’d be safe from night. Verse 2: With kurufin's throat held firm in grasp, My rage was fierce, a vengeful clasp. Kelegorm stood, with who-an near, Forsaking master, driven by fear. Lúthien's voice, a plea so kind, Stayed my hand, peace to find. I stripped the foe of gear and pride, Bid him walk, with kinsfolk to bide. Chorus 2: My leap through shadows, heart ablaze, To end the dark in love’s embrace. With courage high and spirit strong, I fought to right each grievous wrong. Verse 3: In shame and malice, kurufin turned, With kelegorm's bow, his vengeance burned. Two arrows loosed, in spite and hate, But Huan caught one, sealing fate. The second struck with deadly aim, My breast, a burning flame. Yet still I stood, with love and pain, Protecting her from the bane.
