Beruthiel Lyrics by Ted Nasmith

The Hidden Door: Songs in the Key of Enchantment

2012

[Verse 1]
Hear a tale of sorrow
A tale of love and hate
Of the sea-king’s queen nefarious
And of her tragic fate
King Tarannon she married
For reasons now unknown
And lived in fair Osgiliath
Despite a heart of stone
[Verse 2]
No child could she deliver
‘Tis said none could endure
And more to brooding she would turn –
Her darkness none could cure
No colors would she tolerate
Clad but in black and grey
The sea she hated most of all
And shunned the light of day
[Chorus]
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel
Thy shadow and thy beauty
All men fear
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel
Gone mad with all the whispering you hear
[Verse 3]
And in her lonely chambers
She kept her only pride
Her cats with which she gathered news
Nine black and one of white
They prowl’d about the city
Her slaves amid the gloom
Espying on the unsuspecting
Dwellers in each room
[Verse 4]
Dark secrets she collected
Her cats all men did curse
The very air was poisonous
With treachery and worse
The king was under pressure
To rid them of the spies
Ere even he was overcome
With rumours, tales, and lies
[Chorus]
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel‚
Thy shadow and thy beauty
All men fear
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel
Gone mad with all the whispering you hear
[Verse 5]
And so the queen was taken
And all her green-eyed slaves
And lashed upon a vessel tall
Her withered heart ablaze
The North Wind was a’howling
Drowning out her dying raves
The sea beneath the sickle moon
Adrift among the waves
[Chorus]
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel
Thy shadow and thy beauty
All men fear
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel
Gone mad with all the whispering you hear
[Chorus]
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel
Thy shadow and thy beauty
All men fear
Berúthiel
Queen Berúthiel
Gone mad with all the whispering you hear
