Avathar - Atani


From east they came 
to west their hands reached 
towards the undying lands 
of glory and light eternal 

but the gates to that place 
were forever sealed to them 
their days were short 
and swiftly death carried them 

might and strength they held 
not as mighty as the firstborn 
but a menace to the enemy of light 
might and strength they held 
not as mighty as the firstborn 
but a menace to the creator of fear 

from east they came 
to west their hands reached 
towards the undying lands 
of glory and light eternal 

some seduced by the dark ones 
forever doomed 
some resisted 
their days were short 
but tales of heroism 
and glory tell of them 

might and strength they held 
not as mighty as the firstborn 
but a menace to the enemy of light 
might and strength they held 
not as mighty as the firstborn 
but a menace to the creator of fear 

no one knew where they went after passing away 
no to the halls of mandos like the elven kind 
not like the dwarves that go to aule in their end 

some went to serve evil as soulles beings 
cloacked in darkness and despair 
some never witnessed what was beyond 
enslaved to torment light 

from east they came 
to west their hands reached 
towards the undying lands 
of glory and light eternal 
swiftly death carried them
