By my father's deathbed I sit With a grim countenance to fit He's headed now for the land beyond A vengeance and his sword he left unto me Father tell me what you dream Afar there in the heavens Are there mountains like the ones you loved? Are the valleys of the heavens evergreen? Do crystalline rivers flow in their midst? By the sword of my father This day avow! By the sword of my father Revenge shall bejewel my crown! My daughter take heed Remember my creed Elven steel From the stone Finwë drawn Etched with glyphs of power Draconian, strong! Let them behold thy scepter of war A royal flag from enemies torn! By the sword of my father This day avow! By the sword of my father Revenge shall bejewel my crown! Leave behind my father's deathbed Usurpers have seized thy coronet Silver stained with red Carve on their hides a warning for all!
