Текст песни Элхэ Ниэннах - Аутодафе

In a rotten-toothed grin, grinning, the heir to the throne
He gave a sign to the executioner - and the logs flashed with a crash ...
Only now I understand: until this minute - the last -
I didn’t believe that I was going to die, I didn’t believe ... I didn’t believe it.

Black smoke burns my sore eyelids
The crowd held its breath in dull anticipation ...
Silver and white banner from now on forever
Will not soar over the castle of the Rulers in Emin Arnen.

What are you waiting for?! I won't fall - chained
Hands - above the head; the body is tied with chains.
I won't scream in the blazing whirlwind of death
I will not ... and the banner is in the mud, silver and white ...

I'm leaving fire into fire. And the last hour
And with the last plea of ​​the tortured fingers,
And with the last look into the heavy copper sky
I conjure you, Winged: do not return!

Don't watch the gray faces freeze in silence
How the blind scum laughs, grinning hatefully:
You, who said that Men are taller than the Valar, were wrong.
Do not return from the endless star road.

These gazes, like charcoals, were covered with ash:
What is your freedom to those hungry for circuses and bread?
Everything will become gray. And it just won't change colors
Blood on black - and fire flames flying into the sky.

Blood on black - and the Flame kindled in the heart of the world,
And the Star that beats in your burnt palms -
Above the crowd that makes an idol out of dirt and blood,
Over the slaves that the executioners are enthroned.

The banner - with a white wing ... and black wings - in flames ...
Where are you? Help ... Or is it delirium madness?
I believed you, but silence is worse than torture,
Like a heavy sky hanging overhead.

... Whose palms are the coolness of my burnt eye sockets?
Whose wings were they blocked from the flame at the moment of death? ..
This voice ... and wings ... I remember ... a black bird ...
It's you? I'm going. This is the Way and the unearthly wind ...
