I realized I haven't laid my old sig to rest:

Imi elyë na vanessë Ambaron ya Qualmë nye i Lindir carnë.
Menelnya ontanë sinomë
A laven auta

It's Elvish (Quenya) for:

Sinussa maailman kauneus
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
Oman taivaan tänne loin
Anna minun päästä pois

which is Finnish for:

In you is the beauty of the world, of which death made me an artist
My own heaven I created here
Let me get away

Hope I confused you all.

Lyrics by Nightwish, Quenya translation by yours truly. Someone said on this forum (apologies for not remembering exactly who at this moment!) that this song reminds one of LOTR, despite no obvious reference. I agree...
