Iluvatar "Exodus" Question

[Vermillion]

Thank you....but WOW! Seeing those lyrics changes and deepens the meaning of the whole song. I had thought it was a kind of love song, and maybe it still is, but I had completely missed the most profound lyrics, which imbue it with tragedy. For example:

But then the soldiers came.
They put the house in flames,
And sent us to the hills.

Your mother died protecting you,
She fell screaming my name,
And when it's late at night,
Before the morning light,
I wake at every sound.

Now I'm more curious than ever to know what it's about.
