QUENTA SILMARILLION
to the tune of KARMA CHAMELEON by Boy George, performed by Culture Club
(as sung by Maglor to Maedhros)

Old obsession's in your eyes, wild and fey
If I broke our father's Oath would you say
Either we're headed for prison
Or doomed to Eternal Night
By our ill-advised decision
Fate really bites, fate really bites

CHORUS:
Quenta Quenta Quenta Quenta Quenta Silmarillion
The holy gems light up the land
Quenta Quenta Quenta Quenta Quenta Silmarillion
They burn our hands, they burn our hands

Listened to Dad's crazy speech that dark day
Standing in the Ring of Doom I heard him say
That our chains were an affliction
When we were free then we'd be strong
Then we'd win the Jewels forever
But he was wrong, ai, he was wrong

(CHORUS)

We owe Eonwe our survival
We blew it, brother, blew our title
We owe Eonwe our survival
We blew it, brother, blew our title

Now I'll wander on the seashore
Lost in grief 'til Arda's end
Singing by the ocean's roar
This song I penned, this song I penned

(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
