That's cause I conveniently skipped the parts that don't quite match up in my head.

Sounds good. I think I'm gonna keep it.

I also think 'death-defying peaks' could do with a slightly longer first note, and a slightly shorter second & third (at the moment it sounds fairly regular, whereas I'm singing 'defying' quite quickly to allow a fractional pause after 'death').
1. If it's the chord that falls on "sy" - that's cause the melody resolves into it only on "ing". That's how Finrod sings most of his melody, with a slight lag/overhand. But I agree this one is a bit jarring. I will play around with the chord to make it less noticeable.

2. "Death" is an easy fix. Done.

Please do! I would love to hear it!

I am the same, for this piece in particular. I feel more comfortable with this slower pace when I follow the English lyrics.
