Lyrics (as I could make them out): When the sun first arose, it arose in the West, it ever hath guided us thither. To a land fair and free from the shadow of death, to a land where the plants never wither. We seek for the light, the light in the West, we follow the sunlit road thither, To a land fair and free from the shadow of death, to a land where the plants never wither. When my forefather's father awoke in the east, he looked at the sun in the sky And he heard its clear voice as the day newly dawned and the golden light shone in his eyes. Now seek for the light, the light in the West, we follow the sunlit road thither, To a land fair and free from the shadow of death, to a land where the plants never wither. Some folk bade him stay and not follow the day, but a greater part heard the call. And so they were sundered from kin in the east, there shadow could fall on them all. Fare ye well, in the east ye may dwell, though West we have heard is more fair. When we stand in the light by the Lords of the West we wish ye were too standing there. When my father's forefathers to a mountain hall came, they found there a man stout as stone. And this man asked our folk: "Why journey ye west?" "Do ye seek for a hall like mine own?" We seek for the light, the light in the West, we follow the sunlit road thither, To a land fair and free from the shadow of death, to a land where the plants never wither. Of the West I have heard, from the West came my lord, Mahal who from stone made us all. And stone is my home, so I wish not to roam afar from mine own mountain hall. Fare you well, in the east you may dwell, though West we have heard is more fair. When we stand in the light by the Lords of the West we wish you were too standing there. When my father's forefathers to a shady wood came, they found there a man dressed in green. And this man asked our folk: "Why journey ye west?" "Is there ought in the West ye have seen?" We seek for the light, the light in the West, we follow the sunlit road thither, To a land fair and free from the shadow of death, to a land where the plants never wither. Of the West I do know, and thence my folk did go, When the Hunter rode tall and keen. Say wisdom or fear, but I shall remain here, for the Lords of the West I have seen. Fare you well, in the east you may dwell, though West we have heard is more fair. When we stand in the light by the Lords of the West we wish you were too standing there. We seek for the light, the light in the West, we follow the sunlit road thither, To a land fair and free from the shadow of death, to a land where the plants never wither.
Pretty close husky. If I was to do this one now I would probably put the lyrics in the video. I don’t think I have enough space to put them in the description. Apart from a couple of “the’s” and “a’s” I think the only correction I could add is “sunny” is “sun lit”
Lyrics (as I could make them out):
When the sun first arose, it arose in the West,
it ever hath guided us thither.
To a land fair and free from the shadow of death,
to a land where the plants never wither.
We seek for the light, the light in the West,
we follow the sunlit road thither,
To a land fair and free from the shadow of death,
to a land where the plants never wither.
When my forefather's father awoke in the east,
he looked at the sun in the sky
And he heard its clear voice as the day newly dawned
and the golden light shone in his eyes.
Now seek for the light, the light in the West,
we follow the sunlit road thither,
To a land fair and free from the shadow of death,
to a land where the plants never wither.
Some folk bade him stay and not follow the day,
but a greater part heard the call.
And so they were sundered from kin in the east,
there shadow could fall on them all.
Fare ye well, in the east ye may dwell,
though West we have heard is more fair.
When we stand in the light by the Lords of the West
we wish ye were too standing there.
When my father's forefathers to a mountain hall came,
they found there a man stout as stone.
And this man asked our folk: "Why journey ye west?"
"Do ye seek for a hall like mine own?"
We seek for the light, the light in the West,
we follow the sunlit road thither,
To a land fair and free from the shadow of death,
to a land where the plants never wither.
Of the West I have heard, from the West came my lord,
Mahal who from stone made us all.
And stone is my home, so I wish not to roam
afar from mine own mountain hall.
Fare you well, in the east you may dwell,
though West we have heard is more fair.
When we stand in the light by the Lords of the West
we wish you were too standing there.
When my father's forefathers to a shady wood came,
they found there a man dressed in green.
And this man asked our folk: "Why journey ye west?"
"Is there ought in the West ye have seen?"
We seek for the light, the light in the West,
we follow the sunlit road thither,
To a land fair and free from the shadow of death,
to a land where the plants never wither.
Of the West I do know, and thence my folk did go,
When the Hunter rode tall and keen.
Say wisdom or fear, but I shall remain here,
for the Lords of the West I have seen.
Fare you well, in the east you may dwell,
though West we have heard is more fair.
When we stand in the light by the Lords of the West
we wish you were too standing there.
We seek for the light, the light in the West,
we follow the sunlit road thither,
To a land fair and free from the shadow of death,
to a land where the plants never wither.

@@philmen32 Ah gotcha. I wasn't sure about that one but didn't think of 'sunlit'.
