about

The third song inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
One of the sidestories, telling the tale of Nimrodel, an elvenprincess, who fled to the south of Middle Earth with her beloved Amroth, trying to escape from the rage of a released Balrog. She got lost in the woods and none has ever heard of her again.

lyrics

an elven maid like shining gold
she looked a star by day
a gold hemned robe she wore of old
her feet in silver grey

upon her head a star was bound
it shone so light and fair
like sun in Lorien is found
it shines in elven's hair

she was so bright she was so free
flowing hair her limbs so tall
she went in wind and breeze as light
as linden leaf in fall

from Nimrodel beside the falls
words like liquid silver heard
a distant voice that clearly calls
though no one said a word

into the shining pool is lost
the voice of Nimrodel
she walks upon a further coast
that none has lived to tell

Inspiration is found in dreams , paintings, literature ('Werther' on THE COUCH), fairy tales ('The Snow Queen' on SHADES) and science fiction (ROFLORÉ and ODERAN). ... more
