Archive Software Upgrade and Downtime on April 19, 2025
Expect site outages on Saturday, April 19, 2025 as we perform a major software update on the archive.
Since it's about Gandalf and the Balrog he killed in Lord of the Rings, technically this is not Silmarillion based. But hopefully I won't get in trouble for uploading it here.
Eternal spirits feel no pain
Eternal spirits feel no fear
Eternal spirit know no darkness
Eternal spirit do not die
I feel the pain of his burning whip
I feel the fear of his dreaded shadow
I know the darkness that closes upon me
I sense death is on my heels, yet
I am an eternal spirit
Eternal spirit I was once
Eternal spirit I am still
Eternal spirit I will ever be
Many burdens I took on
To serve the greater good
Many oaths I took on
To serve men and elves
Some I will discharge today
When I take you on, brother
We are alike, you and I
We were both spirits immortal
You were corrupted
Bound to the substance of Arda
I bound myself by my free will
Come than brother let us free ourselves
And become what we once were
Eternal spirits, spirits divine
