Mithalwen enters and sings softly in the style of *thinks of possible female sting equivalents* er Dido? Maybe, this version of Fragile from the perspective of the survivors of the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.


Elf blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But the Nirnaeth in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch the eternal argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those exiled by an angry Valar
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On Haudh en Ndengin rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
