It's just me starting without practicing, and not bothering to fix it. I can sing the whole thing at the higher octave no problem.

I think "could" has a slightly nicer ring to it, and adds to your take on Finrod finding purpose in self-sacrifice without taking away the other meaning, but I don't feel strongly about it. Do you have a preference?
I've put 'could' in; if it doesn't sing right I can always switch it.

In fairness I may have known when you first wrote it! A lot of water has passed under a lot of bridges since then, and some things that should not have been forgotten... were lost.
