Achannen, andaminnen

Reforged, remade
Aeg a celair Sharp and bright
Naur ‘wain A new fire
An ardhon ‘wain For a new world
Dan ma istach han maetho? But you can still feel it, can’t you?
Nu lach? Beneath the flame?
I ‘was dín The stain of it.
Sereg in iorath The blood of the old
I hautha den na daew That seeped into the hilt.
Lungas e ndaged The weight of killing,
I hardhant i chathol. That tempered the blade.
Ortho i vegil Elessar Take up the sword, Elessar
Rango in gyrth Embrace the dead,
An le rangatha gurth For death shall yet embrace you.
