Tale of Grief Lyrics


Túrin drove his blade to the hilt

In the belly of the mighty Glaurung

Falling, his flesh burned by blood

Farewell

O twice beloved

A Túrin Turambar

Turún’ ambartanen

Master of doom

By doom mastered

O happy to be dead

Dying, the dragon reveals his curse

Nienor, daughter of Húrin, here is your brother

In horror and anguish, she lept to her death

Farewell

O twice beloved

A Túrin Turambar

Turún’ ambartanen

Master of doom

By doom mastered

O happy to be dead

Stirred from darkness

Túrin set the hilts upon the ground

And cast himself upon the black blade

Farewell

O twice beloved

A Túrin Turambar

Turún’ ambartanen

Master of doom

By doom mastered

O happy to be dead

Upon his tombstone, the Haladin wrote in the Cirth of Doriath:

TÚRIN TURAMBAR DAGNIR GLAURUNGA

Beneath that, they also wrote:

NIENOR NÍNIEL

Though her body

Could not be found
