I don't have access to Morgoth's Ring, but the Silm text says:

Quote:
But Morgoth himself the Valar thrust through the Door of Night beyond the Walls of the World.....and a guard is set forever on those walls, and Eärendil keeps watch upon the ramparts of the sky.
If Morgoth was "dead", why the need to "guard" and "keep watch"?

I don't know which text was the preferred one from the Professor's point of view, but doesn't the Second Prophesy of Mandos refer to Melkor returning at the end as well?
