Silver Ships Of Andilar - Townes Van Zandt[00:00:00]

Of those that sailed the silver ships[00:00:09]

From Andilar I am the last[00:00:14]

The deeds that rang our youthful dreams[00:00:20]

It seems shall go undone[00:00:24]

North for the shores of Valinor[00:00:29]

Our bows and crimson sails were made[00:00:33]

Our captains were strong our lances long[00:00:39]

And our liege the holy king[00:00:43]

The hills did turn from green to blue[00:00:50]

And vanish as on the decks we watched[00:00:54]

But every thought in that noble company[00:01:01]

Was forward bound[00:01:05]

To the lifeless plains of Valinor[00:01:09]

Where reigns the dark and frozen one[00:01:14]

And with tongues afire and glorious eyes[00:01:22]

We pledged our mission be[00:01:26]

The clime from mild to bitter ran[00:01:33]

The wind from fair to fierce did blow[00:01:37]

Oath and prayer did turn to thoughts[00:01:43]

Of homes left far behind[00:01:47]

Longed every man for some glimpse of land[00:01:52]

And the host that did await us there[00:01:56]

But each new day brought only a sea[00:02:04]

And sky of ice and gray[00:02:09]

Thanks give no word can drag you through[00:02:16]

Those endless weeks our ships did roll[00:02:20]

Thanks give you cannot see those sails[00:02:26]

And faces bleach and draw[00:02:30]

Ice we drank and leather did chew[00:02:35]

For the oceans are unwholesome there[00:02:39]

The dead that slid into the seas[00:02:45]

Did freeze before our eyes[00:02:49]

Then a wind did fling the ships apart[00:02:56]

Each one to go her separate way[00:03:01]

The sky did howl the hull did groan[00:03:06]

For how long I do not know[00:03:11]

And what men were left when the winds had ceased[00:03:15]

Grew dull and low of countenance[00:03:20]

For soldiers denied their battle plain[00:03:26]

On comrades soon must turn[00:03:30]

So one by one we died alone[00:03:37]

Some by hunger some by steel[00:03:42]

Everybodies froze where they did fall[00:03:47]

Their souls unsanctified[00:03:52]

Until only another and I were left[00:03:56]

Then just before his flame did fail[00:04:01]

We shone ourselves brothers-in-arms[00:04:06]

To serve the holy king[00:04:11]

Perhaps this shall reach Andilar[00:04:18]

Although I know not how it can[00:04:22]

For once again he's hurled his wind[00:04:28]

Upon the silver prow[00:04:32]

But if it should my words are these[00:04:37]

Arise young men fine ships to build[00:04:42]

And set them north for Valinor[00:04:48]

Neath standards proud as fire[00:04:52]
