Lyrics:
The Song of Eärendil - Complete Edition
Eärendil was a mariner
that tarried in Arvernien;
he built a boat of timber felled
in Nimbrethil to journey in;
her sails he wove of silver fair,
of silver were her lanterns made,
her prow was fashioned like a swan,
and light upon her banners laid.
In panoply of ancient kings,
in chainéd rings he armoured him;
his shining shield was scored with runes
to ward all wounds and harm from him;
his bow was made of dragon-horn,
his arrows shorn of ebony;
of silver was his habergeon,
his scabbard of chalcedony;
his sword of steel was valiant,
of adamant his helmet tall,
an eagle-plume upon his crest,
upon his breast an emerald.
Beneath the Moon and under star
he wandered far from northern strands,
bewildered on enchanted ways
beyond the days of mortal lands.
From gnashing of the Narrow Ice
where shadow lies on frozen hills,
from nether heats and burning waste
he turned in haste, and roving still
on starless waters far astray
at last he came to Night of Naught,
and passed, and never sight he saw
of shining shore nor light he sought.
The winds of wrath came driving him,
and blindly in the foam he fled
from west to east and errandless,
unheralded he homeward sped.
There flying Elwing came to him,
and flame was in the darkness lit;
more bright than light of diamond
the fire upon her carcanet.
The Silmaril she bound on him
and crowned him with the living light
and dauntless then with burning brow
he turned his prow; and in the night
from Otherworld beyond the Sea
there strong and free a storm arose,
a wind of power in Tarmenel;
by paths that seldom mortal goes
his boat it bore with biting breath
as might of death across the grey
and long forsaken seas distressed;
from east to west he passed away.
Through Evernight he back was borne
on black and roaring waves that ran
o'er leagues unlit and foundered shores
that drowned before the Days began,
until he heard on strands of pearl
where ends the world the music long,
where ever-foaming billows roll
the yellow gold and jewels wan.
He saw the Mountain silent rise
where twilight lies upon the knees
of Valinor, and Eldamar
beheld afar beyond the seas.
A wanderer escaped from night
to haven white he came at last,
to Elvenhome the green and fair
where keen the air, where pale as glass
beneath the Hill of Ilmarin
a-glimmer in a valley sheer
the lamplit towers of Tirion
are mirrored on the Shadowmere.
He tarried there from errantry,
and melodies they taught to him,
and sages old him marvels told,
and harps of gold they brought to him.
They clothed him then in elven-white,
and seven lights before him sent,
as through the Calacirian
to hidden land forlorn he went.
He came unto the timeless halls
where shining fall the countless years,
and endless reigns the Elder King
in Ilmarin on Mountain sheer;
and words unheard were spoken then
of folk of Men and Elven-kin,
beyond the world were visions showed
forbid to those that dwell therein.
A ship then new they built for him
of mithril and of elven-glass
with shining prow; no shaven oar
nor sail she bore on silver mast:
the Silmaril as lantern light
and banner bright with living flame
to gleam thereon by Elbereth
herself was set, who thither came
and wings immortal made for him,
and laid on him undying doom,
to sail the shoreless skies and come
behind the Sun and light of Moon.
From Evereven's lofty hills
where softly silver fountains fall
his wings him bore, a wandering light,
beyond the mighty Mountain Wall.
From World's End there he turned away,
and yearned again to find afar
his home through shadows journeying,
and burning as an island star
on high above the mists he came,
a distant flame before the Sun,
a wonder ere the waking dawn
where grey the Norland waters run.
And over Middle-earth he passed
and heard at last the weeping sore
of women and of elven-maids
in Elder Days, in years of yore.
But on him mighty doom was laid,
till Moon should fade, an orbéd star
to pass, and tarry never more
on Hither Shores where Mortals are;
for ever still a herald on
an errand that should never rest
to bear his shining lamp afar,
the Flammifer of Westernesse.

Here is our Complete Edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "The Song of Eärendil!" Reworked, re-edited, remixed, and remastered; we hope you enjoy it:)
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS LONG AGO THANKS!!
Already lovin' it
You are so amazing! ❤️🙌
Yes!
Thank you! I had a playlist just for this, but the song is better without ads in the middle.
"Aragorn insisted on my putting in a green stone. He seemed to think it important. I don't know why. Otherwise he obviously thought the whole thing above my head, and he said that if I had the cheek to make verses about Eärendil in the house of Elrond, it was my affair. I suppose he was right."
Well Bilbo did a good job honoring his host's sire.
This green stone is called Elessar and is Earendil's heirloom inherited from his mother -- Idril of Gondolin. It was inlaid in a silver brooch in the shape of an eagle and contained trapped light of the sun. It is said that Gandalf brought the gem back to Middle Earth and gave it to Galadriel, who in turn gave it to Aragorn as a symbol of his rule as the King of Gondor and Arnor.
@@Nethan2000 Man, the Legendarium goes _HARD_ when you read the actual prose.
Oh no, it’s better than that. Galadriel gave it to her daughter, who gave it to her daughter, Arwen. Then Arwen gave it back to Galadriel to give to Aragorn in case he passed by Lothlorien.
The chanting when Earendil comes to Taniquetil and Manwë really carries over the majesty of the Elder King
Remember that, canonically, Bilbo Baggins wrote this song.
This makes it so much better
Wasn't it Sam who said "bilbo wrote this song" only to be corrected by legolas who said "It is much older than that"?
Sorry if im thinking of other song.
@@alanetchetto8908 No, I don't believe that was this one. I don't think the Hobbits had met Legolas when this song was sung. This particular song was written by Bilbo in Elrond's house (causing Aragorn to say that he has a lot of cheek to be writing songs about Earendil in the house of Elrond, Earendil's son). Of course, the Elves had been singing songs about Earendil beforehand for eons, and Bilbo used some of those themes and elements, but still.
@@alanetchetto8908 The song you're thinking of was 'Gil-galad was an Elven-king / of him the harpers sadly sing". It was Aragorn, not Legolas, who corrected Sam -- but Aragorn says that the poem was an Elvish one, and Bilbo must have translated it into Common.
@@stormwreath you mean from after Frodo woke in Rivendell, before the Council was held? Cuz I just read that chapter, when Frodo fell asleep during Bilbo's song. The song I read in that chapter was definitely about Earendil.
For over 50 years, I've loved this particular song from Tolkien's opus. Your rendition suits his lyrics perfectly -- in fact, it is magnificent!
Thank you! We are happy you like it!
D'you read all trilogy of lord of the rings mam? Is it a complete story in itself?
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius Yes, each part is a book in and of itself. But all three of the books make the Lord of The Rings. I think that’s what you’re asking.
I’ve probably listened to this video 70 times now. It still gives me goosebumps every time it gets to the part where Elwing flies to Earendil. This reminds me of what it is that has beguiled me about Tolkien’s works since I could read. This feels like a timeless myth….like Beowulf or the Odyssey. Thank you all for your incredibly epic interpretations, absolutely incredible.
Hail Eärendil, of mariners most renowned, the looked-for that cometh at unawares, the longed-for that cometh beyond hope! Hail Eärendil, bearer of the Light before the Sun and Moon! Splendour of the Children of Earth, star in the darkness, jewel in the sunset, radiant in the morning!
I love this hail for Earendil! Imagine him, preparing to leave the undying lands of Valinor, affraid and disappointed for not seen anyone, when Eonwe salutes him with such magnificent words. The Great War was won right there.
I can just imagine Earendil ready to give up and accept defeat, when he suddenly hears "Hail Earendil, of Mariners most renowned!" and he turns around and he looks up and sees Eonwe standing there above him.
Mandos: Let’s execute him!
The insertion of Elbereth Gilthoniel part way through is a beautiful transition. Noted changes in pronunciation of Earendil and chalcedony. This was not merely a merge of the 3 parts, this is beautiful.
you are a man of the highest culture
Yes, they went the extra way and not only extended the music to connect the individual parts (which I'm sure would've been possible), but they subtly changed the track (primarily the flute and the drums, but also the balance of the instruments), added new background vocals and resang the whole song. And added a completely new part. As close to perfection as you can possibly get.
That part immediately makes me think of Maedhros and Maglor seeing the silmaril up on the sky for the first time. The amount of hope they must've felt in that moment is crazy
Many a night I ponder why is it that Calmavi De Profundis, masters in the field of bringing Tolkien's poems to life, are never to be heard in interviews with fellow Tolkien creators. I truly believe you have many interesting stories and insights to bring to the table, topics never before explored. After listening to over 40 hours of your songs at this point, I am starving for some Behind The Scenes :D
Agreed!
If you know any, Gandalf, send them word of these works!
Greetings, Gandalf Teh Dank! Wonderful to see you here as well. I saw you down in the front row of CdP's performance at Rivendank, but I guess I was too short for you to spot my swag in the crowd. No matter, as we're here now. May you enjoy the show, and may your drip serve you well in times of dark!
I could not agree more
@@bbagginsmcswaggins Well met indeed! I have to admit I was a bit carried away at the performance, what with Bilbo poetically describing my Homeland and all. Although, I have to say, I did feel an unusually high Swag presence in the hall...
Oh, how I wish Tolkien could have live to see how much he has touched so many lives. Your music does him justice. May you always be blessed with the ability to create so much music.
The ancient Greeks were right - music is a form of magic. Thank you, CDP, for crafting this masterpiece. The three parts were excellent before, but you have raised them to the divine in this complete edition!
This is the only Tolkien poem that gives song of durin a run for it's money in epicness
Have you heard CDP's version of Beren and Luthien?
The Star of Eärendil, also known as Gil-Estel, or Rothinzil by the Edain, was a light created by the Silmaril carried into the sky by Eärendil the Mariner. It was particularly visible in the morning and evening and was referred to as the Evening Star.
And never did it fade from view, either. Even after several Ages had past, the Star of Eärendil remained in the sky, constantly making its way across the heavens in an eternal journey. He never gave up, nor did he ever forsake his post.
So...Venus??
@@Earthwise. no way sherlock, you figured it out ! (slow sarcastic clap)
@@NebbyTheProtogen Thank you, I'll be here all week
And he guided his son Elros to the new island of Númenor. And the star was used for navigation. And his star was the elves' favorite star. And his light was in the Phial of Galadriel, and saved Frodo and Sam when they were with Shelob.
Shelob is the last daughter of Ungoliant, who destroyed the Two Trees, which the Silmarils carry the light of. Shelob was defeated by the light of something that her mother destroyed.
**NOW WE HAD BETTER HAVE IT AGAIN**
Thank you for doing this epic tale justice
MY GOD IF Tolkien could hear this in the heavens he would have weeped in happiness Clamavi De Profundis is now my new musical hero
Tolkien was a devout roman catholic. He now is one of the cloud of witnesses cheering us on earth below so perhaps he hears?
I do believe he hears it and, most importantly, prays for us.
This song, especially in this tune, is just so dreamlike, as though sung to me by Irmo himself. For the first time I understand in heart instead of mind how music from Elven minstrels could place a listener in a trance of reverie and transport them into the story.
This is my favorite of your songs, so glad to see a complete edition!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always search for the Lord of the Rings songs when I come to them in the books, so I can listen to them as I read it. I'm always most excited when I discover that Clamavi have made their version of a song.
Finally the complete version of one of my favorites! Loved the hidden surprise in the middle of the song !
What surprise?:)
@@eevs8595 the song of Elbereth, but is not complete. I hope they make the complete version soon.
@@elenamartel1822 yes!!! I hope they do.
This is magic. I've been literally obsessed with your version of the Song of Eärendil since it came out in 2019 (to the point I translated it into Italian, my mother-tongue, just to be able to sing it in my language). This is like hearing it again for the first time.
Oh my goodness, that is some dedication!
Riccardo faccela sentire!!! 😃 (P. S. sono qui perché ci hai segnalato questo gruppo, cercavo il pezzo che hai usato per "l'enigma di falcante" 😄)
@@marinamucci7035 Avrei bisogno di una nutrita squadra di cantanti lirici per renderle la giustizia che merita!
HOLY ILUVATAR thats dedication
Dear Hearts: found CDP today (10/28/2021). It is pure joy to hear Tolkien's poems become truly alive. (Mind you, have been crying for joy while watching...). Thank you for bringing peace and joy to so many souls. We need it now....All Love
I also was moved to tears listening to this masterpiece. Profound indeed!
9:25 - 10:42 is 100% my favourite part of this. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant, wonderful job on this. Thank you.
Ikr it's legitimately beautiful. Probably one of Clamavi De Profundis' best songs. 10:59 is my personal favorite.
This is not just a song. It's a journey. Beautiful.
Wonderful just like all of your other works, thank you for sharing. I took the time to mark the stanzas (labeled as per Tolkein Gateway's article) so that people could navigate the structure more easily:
00:51 - Stanza 1: "An introduction to him and the building of his ship."
02:05 - Stanza 2: "A detailed description of him, whose final line was supposedly influenced by Aragorn."
03:21 - Stanza 3: "A description of his fruitless wanderings in search of Valinor."
05:21 - Stanza 4: "How Elwing his wife flew to him in the form of a bird and bound the jewel to his forehead."
06:39 - Stanza 5: "How he found Valinor."
08:32 - Stanza 6: "Concerning his stay there."
10:05 - A Elbereth Gilthoniel: "an elven hymn to Varda (Elbereth)"
10:41 - Stanza 7: "How they built a new ship for him, and how Elbereth gave him wings."
11:37 - Stanza 8: "How he left Valinor."
13:10 - Stanza 9: "How he passed over Middle-earth and became as a star"
You could imagine Tolkien inventing the greatest mariner since Noah upped anchor - he really created a whole worldscape - you could almost imagine in an alternate reality coming across a history book of Gondor
I am a late bloomer when it comes to Tolkien's works, but I am bloody hooked on all the books and films, as well as all of your renditions of his poems. Absolutely amazing work!
I like to belive the reason they "taught him melodies" and "sages old him marvels told" was so that he could have hope even in the darkest of times.
Just amazing, you are bringing the Silmarillion to life in ways that even the Audio books couldn't
The power of music and Song shown here would make JRR Tolkien happy, I am sure
Thank you for this amazing adaptation of the story
If I had a penny every time I got goosebumps from your songs...
...I would be wealthier than Smaug.
Noice.
that's pretty rich!
@@jtraptor7776 ikr
Clever
Goosebumps are caused by tiny muscles contracting hair follicles. The average human has approximately 5 million hair follicles. Assuming you'd get a penny for every one activating, that's 50 000$ per time you get goosebumps. Smaug's wealth converted to American dollars is around 62 billion $. So you would have to get goosebumps 1 300 000 times in order to equal his wealth.
In other words, you may have a serious medical condition, you should see a doctor.
Tears to my eyes. Every single time.
For the first time since I watched Fellowship of the Ring in theaters twenty years ago, I sat and was for a moment in middle-earth, listening to the elves singing in the hall of fire in Rivendell.
I’m revisiting this after Hubble discovered the oldest (so far) discovered star, now named … Earendel. Inspired by Tolkien’s Earendil.
Is it trve?
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius it is
@@tonkaphilips4674 who gave the name then?
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius I don't remember, it was an article that I saw long ago.
@@tonkaphilips4674 hmm, from where can we follow the latest researches on astronomy?
Simply fantastic. No one else can perform Tolkien's music at nearly the same level as you. Simply the best of the best.
The hymn caught me by surprise. I actually have tears in my eyes.
I think they should make complete version of "A Elbereth Gilthoniel "
If you think the same, like me so they will know how many people want to hear it
Edit: And I think i would be great if the song will also have text of "passing of the elves" wchich probably is second part of "A Elbereth Gilthoniel". Anyway both text suits to each other.
( and sorry for all mistakes [ if I made any ]in my comment, I'm from Poland and I'm still learning english )
There are 69 likes on your comment, and though I want to like the comment I dare not break that sacred number. Consider this comment my like.
Yes that would be awesome!
Świetny angielski ;D
You could combine "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" with "Fanuilos Heryn Aglar" like they did to all the stanzas of "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold".
Your last comment makes me want to cry. 😀 You’re “still learning” English? I’m monolingual (a smattering of Spanish here and there) and if I could know Polish (or any second language!) as well as you do English, I’d be jumping for joy!
I love other modern mythologies… but Tolkien and beautiful interpretations of him like this are so profound they truly ground me. It brings joy and moves me and enriches my life rather than being a distraction.
Recently the most distant known star was named Earendel, which means "Morning Star" or "Rising Light" in old english. The reference to Earendil was intentional :)
I can finally listen to this song without ads in between. Your songs are to good to be described with any elvish dwarvish or common speech. I only started listening to clamavi about 6 months ago and yet already I have heard at least 20 hours of your amazing work please make more songs!
But can you describe them in entish?
Also !!! This made me want to hear a full of A Elbereth Gilthoniel sung by all of you
SAME
I'm slowly learning this off by heart, currently up to the ship of mithril and elven glass. I've got most of your other Tolkien songs/poems down already. My favourite one is either this or the Battle of Sauron and Finrod.
I will learn them all, and pass them onto my children by word of mouth, so they can be part of a real oral tradition as Tolkien maybe imagined or hoped.
His poem “Errantry” which was published in an Oxford magazine or journal if I recall ended up becoming oral folklore. One woman from the US managed to trace the poem, which she heard from a friend who heard it from her son in Washington DC, who had only the vague idea that it came from an English university. It agreed with Tolkiens theory that oral traditions can easily retain “hard” words like chalcedony or panoply, but will change easy words and disturb the rythym. Tolkien was quite impressed, and he received quite a few inquiries about the poem.
Errantry is the poem which eventually developed into the song of Ëarendil
Your song will make a fine addition to my playlist collection
r/prequelmemes × r/lotrmemes crossover
Not this time, and this time you won't escape.
Hello there
*Wheezing laugh*
We can only guess as to how Professor Tolkien heard these songs in his head (and he absolutely did), but it seems to me it would have sounded something like this right here. Well done gents, well done indeed!
What more can be said? You've done it again. I keep listening to that new part between the second and third section on repeat now. I also appreciate the inclusion of female vocals. They really add some flavor. Maybe Arwen joined Bilbo and Aragorn in singing.
Eärendil: I want to become a movie star!
Varda: Wish Granted.
becomes a moving star
My take-away was that it was Elbereth Gilthoniel.
Love you guy's work. Always makes me feel impowered hearing these amazing harmonies
Another amazing performance as always. I thought this was just a stitching of all three parts together but this was a pleasant surprise!
This is really wonderful. Thank you for making such amazing music! I've said for a while that Tolkien's writings are the best and the truest in all of English literature.
I just discovered this channel yesterday but I have been listening to this song on repeat since. The bit of A Elbereth Gilthoniel always gives me chills
yes
again and another tolkein songs .. again tolkein would be so proud of his fans .. Eärendil is one of my in middle earth and this poem too .. thanks for our work
The joy it brings me to see the complete edition is so immense as my love for Tolkien lore still grows and expands itself!
This was brilliant, even better than the original three!
I loved the hymn after the second part, you sank wonderfully! Great time, I've been slowly memorizing that very part of the hymn and now I have an example by you to continue to learn by!
Yes!! My day instantly becomes better when I get a notification of your channel!🤗
Magnificent! I love your work setting JRR Tolkien's amazing words to equally enthralling music! Thank you so very much for the love you put into the process.
Only you can bring these epic, emotional poems to life in their true light!
Its just EPIC, wish i could hear this live perfomed in the forest, under the light of moon and stars
Now we need a full version of Elbereth Gilthoniel
Good is the day when Clamavi De Profundis release a new music.
Even if it is a extended edition.
Especially when it's an extended one, NY friend
This truly is a masterpiece, and I appreciate the time and effort poured into it. For music is the closest echo of Eru’s magic upon our world. Though, even Melkor’s strident wails I can fathom… but I lay humbled by the prowess of this song and the aptitude poured into it. Thank you for your labors!
Last time I was this early, we hadn't sailed to the Dragonshore yet
You bring such incredible life to Tolkien's words in this. So happy to have it all in one piece at last!
Ah yes, no more putting them in playlists.
Wonderful.
I know!
Wdym
I have just discovered your fantastic music. Would you consider a RUclips post where you introduce your family and talk more about your process? Who does the composing? How do you get that full orchestral sound? What kind of music education have you had? Is one of you working professionally doing movie soundtracks (and if not, you should be!) Also, thank you for sharing your glorious talents with world.
I love that you don't care how long your songs take. You just arrange them in the best way possible. So beautiful!
the amount of hype given to Earendil in this song is insane. real cool!
May the light of Eärendil will always guide you through the darkness!
I’ve been waiting for this !!
WOW!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!
My brother keeps saying things like "Hear those epic brass? Oh this is so epic!" and such things like that.
Thankfully my brother doesn't
@@clarkweddleoutdoorschannel5926 :)
@@annaofthewoodlandrealm my brother is only 5 so he can’t name any instruments
@@clarkweddleoutdoorschannel5926 My brother could probably name you fifty or more instruments!
I just listened to this as I read (and for the last bit sang) along while reading Fellowship of the Ring for the first time. It was great. Many thanks for your labors, I've really enjoyed your works from Tolkien and those inspired by him, and will even more now that I am reading the books for the first time.
I cannot get enough of this. This is chill over chill. I think the music is so intoxicating ! Pure emotion.
Okay, so if I'm understanding this right:
Eärendil was so good of a sailor that, by himself (and with help from one of the most powerful magical artifacts in all of Tolkien's Legendarium), he sailed from Middle-Earth to literal Heaven, met with Angels, was granted the honor of speaking with _GOD,_ and was given the divine task of eternally heralding the sunrise.
Man. Tolkien's prose and poems go _HARD._ I want a movie/short film about Eärendil, not the Second Age war against Sauron!
As I recall he spoke with Manwë (king of the Valar) not Eru Ilúvatar (God), but other than that, YES!
There's even less lore about that than the war in the Second Age. Not enough to make a TV show or a movie.
Epic, magnificent, and most importantly Tolkien.
I got actual chills when you started singing the song of Elbereth oh my gosh
I found this in a list of Welsh folk songs. Have no idea WHY it is in that list, but still glad to have found it.
Found this channel, song, - or even that Tolkien wrote songs like this- and now I'm instantly subbed.
Two years wait for this
It's worth it
I introduced some friends to this song one night on the shores of a lake as the stars shone bright in a clear cold sky.
So awesome!!!
Adding the hymn to Elbereth in there was absolutely genius.
Although ... am I the only one that's hearing a strange sound on the word flammifer?
Totally agree!
I didn't hear the word flammifer although I may have missed it.
I always sing this song to Modern Major General/Can-Can because the meter fits both songs so well
Also since we're getting closer to Christmas, I'd love it if you guys did another Christmas Melody for December. You did one three years ago and it'd be wonderful to hear a new one, perhaps with some Christmas songs you haven't sung yet. Gloria in in Excelsis Deo, Little Town of Bethlehem, Little Drummer Boy, The First Noel, and Mary did you know, all wonderful carols I would LOVE to hear you guys sing.
No they need more from lotr
Great poem in dedication to the first astronaut!
My favorite of the poems to songs you guys have done!!
So perfect ... I've cried listening the music 💙
This is stunning. 🤩Perfectly captures the feel of the Tolkien world.
Thank you!
This is the earliest I've ever caught your new video. Would you consider doing a Gregorian chant setting of the complete 15 mysteries of the Rosary at some point please. Very well sung as always. ❤
What an excellent idea!! I hope they do it!
Eärendil was a mariner.
Earendil will always be one of my favorite fictional characters of all time- and tell ya what, this song is half the reason why!
a music to listen to while you work!
This is absolutely wonderful, we need a full version of the Hymn to Elbereth as its own piece too!
10:05 for easy replay
I agree with you there wholeheartedly.
Ah yes, The song about the elf who became a star, both literally and figuratively!
This is beyond beautiful. Thank you!
Yay! Now the day is off to a much better start! Thank you so much!
Many thanks to you for your work.
It's lyrics like that that make my heart beat really thank you for these epic moments.
A big good evening from Switzerland🇨🇭
What have I stumbled upon...? I always wanted to hear these poems set to music, but I never thought anyone would actually do it, given the length of some of them. I think I've found my new music obsession.
I've had this on loop for two days now...
Edit: Now three...
10:05 is the start of the elvish part
This is just brilliant. I love it. Thank you
Ansolutely superbly awe-inspiringly beautylicious! :D No other fantasy world gives me goosebumps the way Tolkien's does. Thank you so much for bringing it alive! I think the many songs are especially prone to being overlooked and skipped in the books, since it's not the easiest thing in the world to "hear" them the way we can "hear" dialog and prose. Luckily for us, that's where you come in :D
This, my dear skalds and bards, is a true masterpiece of such a majestic and legendary tale. If I could clap any harder to praise such a work, I fear I would be able to clap no longer!
This is an AMAZING rendition! Love it guys ❤
Another chilling masterpiece
