Lament For Thorin
Created in collaboration with composer and producer, Chris Cooper, this recording is Eurielle’s interpretation of Psalm 46: Stroudwater, performed in Gaelic. It was created for the soundtrack to a short film called ‘Instruments Of Darkness’ which was based on the famous Shakespearean play, Macbeth, and released as an independent recording in 2016.
Thorin! King Under The Mountain
Alas no more shall rule this domain
We brethren must go on without him
And ensure his death was not in vain
In sleep eternal he will rest
With the Arkenstone upon his breast
Which evermore shall emit its light
To banish the darkness of unending night
And on his tomb is Orcrist laid
An Elven blade forged in Elder Days
To warn of foes and roving orcs
And ward off all evil from Erebor
How shall we remember our fallen friend
Who conquered Dragon Sickness in the end?
A warrior, leader, a proud flawed king?
A worthy descendant of mighty Durin!
