The Song

This parody of Mortals by Warriyo (original with Laura Brehm) envisages as its scene the capture of Húrin at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad or Battle of Unnumbered tears: Huor has fallen dead nearby, and black orcs of the troll-guard are climbing over piles of their own dead attempting to capture him alive and drag him back a prisoner to Utumno.

Recording

The song structure is very simple – a single verse structure in the middle of an otherwise instrumental composition. The beautiful, haunting tune inspires lyrics of a reflective, even speculative nature.

Lyrics

Húrin Taken

V1:

More orcs keep appearing
My time here is ending.
The troll-guard is jeering.
By my strength I slay them, never giving

Up. Although I’m fearing
To my death I’m wending.
Though my end is nearing
Day will come again – too late for me!
