Unblind



This poem was not Aurthiel's writing, but the writing of her former lover, Alasornaion. While investigating and clearing his possessions, investigating his treason, this poem had been found, written in Sindarin and hidden away. Not only did the poem convict him guilty, but it explained his reasons for what he had done. Aurthiel always kept the poem with her, even wrote music to it and performed to herself.

Aurthiel played this song for her daughter, then known as her niece, while training her in Eriador.

Unblind:

 

I am tormented

This soldier's secret purpose

I am filled with regret

For the blood I've spent

 

But I must do this

I saw with my own eyes

This Curse, our awful price

For all the sins we've done

 

I lost my own flesh and blood

We'll lose all we love

Do you not see our mistakes?

Can we fix this or are we too late?

 

We defied the very gods

We are forsaken, unloved

For spilling our own blood, it still runs

Do you not see what you've done

Ever running rivers of blood

 

Do you not see your goal's in vein?

Unnumbered tears rage, unending pain

 

Do you not see the reason

I've committed this unforgivable treason?

Do you not see these scars

The Curse rages on

For betraying the Valar

 

But I will find escape
