If you still have the "raw" Audacity file, I would recommend just replacing the music track with the new score, and adjusting the pause in between the two sections to match up to the existing vocals. The speed is the same, everything is the same, just the length of the pause is different. No need to re-sing and re-animate unless you want to.

But duty I chose
Duty I chose
Duty I choose
Never revenge.
Keeps the repeat, emphasises duty, and makes that shift from the Exile being his duty, to his duty to Beren as his vassal. And chose/choose is close enough to a rhyme that it doesn't sound bad.

If you like it, I'm down. I like the concept. But I have argued this stanza too many times in my head now to the point where it sounds ridiculous no matter what I say, so you make the final call.

I think he also realizes that love is capable of overcoming the impossible - love knows no rules! So what if he is in ME and Amarie is in Valinor? Somehow love can still triumph in the end, and he need not be forlorn forever. Hope is not yet lost, the song is not yet finished, there is still time to do the impossible. Get Beren a Silmaril. Fix the Doom of the Noldor. Find Amarie. Simple. Because estel, that's why.

I think 'heart' is a good word to work in here, because... it's the title of the next song. ^_^ The whole sequence is visual metaphors, and down in 'Truth' we have the secret fires blazing in mortal eyes, so love as a light in Beren's heart is a good metaphor. I'm inclined towards that, but there's plenty of time to change it.

Heart light. Heart bright. And at last I see tonight. Wish I may, wish I might. Hear the song I sing tonight.
(Alternatively: Untrembling I gaze into Fate's eyes - and she is going e'er so slightly cross-eyed...)
But only in the glow of your heart's light?
...Because there really isn't any reason for "tonight" other than rhyme. Though the more natural phrase would have been "in the light of your heart's glow".
Hmm.
I think it's important to underline that Finrod
only just now realizes this simple but life philosophy changing concept. Does he get that across with only "at last" in the next line?

More yaaay! :-D
Beren's lines threw me off a little at first because you sang them a little differently than the sketch I'm used to hearing, but I think they still land either in his right harmony or with the note Finrod sings, so it all works.
I think I am back to my old adage though - if you don't mind making the music a liiiitle bit louder in the final version?
