Instagram Lúthien in the Halls of Mandos

This music video is a parody of Everything but the Girl's "Missing" by Tolkien Tribute.

Scene: The setting for this song is in the Halls of Mandos as described in Tolkien's Silmarillion: when Mandos granted life to Beren after hearing the song of Lúthien.

======================Lyrics======================

V1:
Named Tinúviel
In Doriath I lived and danced and played.
So all was well.
Until by Beren’s love I was waylaid.
His Doom I could foretell -
For my hand Thingol forced him make a trade
A Silmaril.
For this a high price would be paid.

Ch:
Doom will pursue
Us over earth and sea and sky.
What will ensue?
Only the Vala can descry.

V2:
Traveling with Huan
To the north out from hidden Nargothrond
Our only plan
To liberate Tol Sirion.
By songs of power I can
Bind black spirits - even of Sauron
To save my man
Then into peril we go on.
Ch:

V3:
So we journey
To the very gates of bleak Angband.
Carcharoth we see -
I make him sleep just as I planned.
We take a jewel and flee
But our escape costs Beren his hand
Eagles help me
To fly us both back to my land.
Ch:

V4:
In Death’s own Halls
Before Mandos I sing at his throne
As my song falls
I pay the death-price to atone.
As I sing it befalls
I prophesy of life and hopes new-sown.
Mandos recalls
Us both. Restores us to our own.
