Session II

L y r i c s


1. War Of Wrath

The field is lostEverything is lostThe black one has fallen from the sky and the towers in ruins lieThe enemy is within, everywhereAnd with him the light, soon they will be hereGo now, my lord, while there is timeThere are places below[Morgoth:]And you know them tooI release thee, goMy servant you'll be for all time[Sauron:]As you commandMy king[Morgoth:]I had a part in everythingTwice I destroyed the light and twice I failedI left ruin behind me when I returnedBut I also carried ruin with meShe, the mistress of her own lust

2. Into The Storm

Give it to meI must have itPrecious treasureI deserve it

[bridge:]Where can I runHow can I hideThe SilmarilsGems of treelightTheir life belongs to meOh it's sweet how theDarkness is floating around

[chorus:]We are followingThe will of the oneThrough the dark ageAnd into the stormAnd we are followingThe will of the oneThrough the dark ageAnd into the stormLord I'm mean

Blackheart show meWhat you hold in your handI still hunger for moreRelease meFrom my painGive it to meHow I need itHow I need itHow I need it

[bridge][chorus]

I did my partNow it's your turnAnd rememberWhat you've promised[bridge] [chorus]


3. Lammoth

4. Nightfall

No sign of life did flickerIn floods of tears she cried"All hope's lost it can't be undoneThey're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speechesI know (They blinded us all)What you wantYou will take it away from meTake it and I know for sureThe light she once brought inIs gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang"(We're) lost in the deep shadesThe misty cloud brought(A wailing when beauty was goneCome take a look at the sky)Monstrous it covered the shoreFearful into the unknown"Quietly it crept in new horrorInsanity reignedAnd spilled the first bloodWhen the old king was slain

[chorus:]NightfallQuietly crept in and changed us allNightfallQuietly crept in and changed us allNightfallImmortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall weMourn in the darkthe bliss and the beautyWill not returnSay farewell to sadness and griefThough long and hard the road may be"But even in silence I heard the words"An oath we shall swearBy the name of the oneUntil the world's endIt can't be broken"

Just wondering howI can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king"I swear revenge"Filled with anger aflamed our heartsFull of hate full of prideWe screamed for revenge

[chorus]

"Vala he is that's what you saidThen your oath's been sworn in vain(But) freely you came andYou freely shall depart(So) never trust the northern windsNever turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!""You better don't trust him"The enemy of mineIsn't he of your kind andFinally you may follow meFarewellHe said

[chorus]

Back to where it all began


5. The Minstrel

So I stand stillIn front of the crowdExcited facesWhar will be next?I still don't have a clue

6. The Curse Of Fanor

Taken the long wayDark realms I went throughI arrivedMy vision's so clearIn anger and painI left deep wounds behindBut I arrivedTruth might be changed by victory

Beyond the void but deep within meA swamp of filth existsA lake it was of crystal beautyBut Arda's spring went byI've heard the warningWell curse my nameI'll keep on laughingNo regretNo regret

[chorus (1):]Don't fear the eyes of the dark lordMorgoth I criedAll hope is gone but I swear revengeHear my oathI will take part in your damned fate

I will always remember their criesLike a shadow which covers the lightI will always remember the timeBut it's pastI cannot turn back the time(I) don't look backThere's still smoke near the shoreBut I arrivedRevenge be mine

[chorus (2):]I will take part in your damned fateMorgoth I criedIt's my oathSo don't fear the eyesOf the dark lord

Soon you will be freeSet your spirit free"Suddenly I realizedThe propheciesI've never believed inMy deeds were wrongI've stained the landAnd slain my kin(Burning Soul)There's no release from my sinsIt hurtsTHE CURSE OF FANOR RUNS LONGTime and only time will tell usTell: was I right or wrong?When anger breaks throughI'll leave mercy behind"

[chorus (2)]

I will always remember their criesLike a shadow they'll cover my lifeBut I'll also remember mine(And) after all I'm still alive


7. Captured

You are now my guest, forever

8. Blood Tears

Welcome to my realmWe are both condemned to liveIt's a dark fate(I can hear your callsI can hear your calls)THE ETERNAL LIFE

I see it still burnsEach night I cry in pain

AliveThough the end appears my friend

[chorus:]And blood tears I cryYou've searched and you've foundCut off your old friends hand

My mind'sIn frozen dreamsThe rotten fleshOf bitter liesWelcome to where time stands stillNoone leaves and noone ever will

Can't hold itIt burnsEach night I cry in pain

[chorus:]And blood tears I cryEndless grief remained insideAnd blood tears I cryEndless grief remained inside

It seems so clearlyBent the bow

Cause life in me is goneAnd a cruel wind's blowing coldAnd a cruel wind's blowing coldIn blame

And life it shall waneEach night I cry in pain

[chorus:]And blood tears I cryEndless grief remained insideCut off your old friends hand

9. Mirror Mirror

Far, far beyond the islandWe dwelt in shades of twilightThrough dread and weary daysThrough grief and endless pain

It lies unknownThe land of mineA hidden gateTo save us from the shadow fallThe lord of water spokeIn the silenceWords of wisdomI've seen the end of allBe aware the storm gets closer

[chorus (1):]Mirror Mirror on the wallTrue hope lies beyond the coastYou're a damned kind can't you seeThat the winds will changeMirror Mirror on the wallTrue hope lies beyond the coastYou're a damned kind can't you seeThat tomorrows bears insanity

Gone's the wisdomOf a thousand yearsA world in fire and chains and fearLeads me to a place so far


Deep down it lies my secret visionI better keep it safe

Shall I leave my friends aloneHidden in my twilight hall(I) know the world is lost in fireSure there is no way to turn itBack to the old daysOf bliss and cheerful laughterWe're lost in barren landsCaught in the running flamesAloneHow shall we leave the lost roadTime's getting short so follow meA leader's task so clearlyTo find a path out of the dark

[chorus (2):]Mirror Mirror on the wallTrue hope lies beyond the coastYou're a damned kind can't you seeThat the winds will changeMirror Mirror on the wallTrue hope lies beyond the coastYou're a damned kind can't you seeThat the winds will change

Even thoughThe storm calmed downThe bitter endIs just a matter of time

Shall we dare the dragonMerciless he's poisoning our heartsOur hearts

How shall we leave the lost roadTime's getting short so follow meA leader's task so clearlyTo find a path out of the dark

[chorus (2)]

10. Face The Truth

[narrator:]The moon, the sign of hopeIt appeared when we left the pain of the ice-desert behindWe faced up to the curse and endured miseryCondemned we areWe brought hope, but also lies, and treachery

11. Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns)

NoldorBlood is on your handsYour bane'sA tearful destiny

Black clouds will carryRain of bloodI've seen it rain

We were lostOn grinding iceIn fear and hungerDead winter reignedIn Araman

[prebridge:](You) can't escapeFrom my damnation(Nor) run awayFrom isolation

[bridge:]Guilty spoke the oneTHis deed can't be undoneHear my wordsFear my curse


[chorus:]I know where the stars glow(And the) sky's uncloudedSweet the water runs my friend(But) NoldorBlood is on your handsTears unnumberedYou will shet and dwell in pain

Your homeless soulsShall come to meThere's no releaseSlain you might beSlain you will beSlain you will beAnd the lostWho will not reach theHouse of spirits(Will) grow old and weary

[prebridge]

[bridge]

[chorus]

I've seen this bitter endAs I've foreseenThe storm and iceAnd I could see it(How) a million diedAnd I?The blame's on meCause I was not there

[prebridge]

[bridge]

[chorus]

Dead winter reignsAnd tomorrow's still unknownLiesCondemned and betrayedNow everything is said

See my eyesAre full of tearsAnd a cruel priceWe've paidBut still I can't claimThat I'm innocent

Lost

12. Battle Of Sudden Flame

Oh lord here I standSuddely everything's goneFor all NoldorFrom now on my lifeIs my gift to youJust lead my fateTo the victoryOf elves

13. Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill)

Light fails at dawnThe moon is goneAnd deadly the night reignsDeceit

Finally I've found myselfIn these landsHorror and madness I've seen hereFor what I became a king of the lost?Barren and lifeless the land lies

[bridge:]Lord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlord

[chorus (repeat 2x):]The Fate of us allLies deep in the dark


When time stands still at the iron hill

I stand aloneNoone's by my sideI'll dare youCome outYou cowardNow it's me or you

He gleams like a starAnd the sound of his horn'sLike a raging stormProudly the high lordChallenges the doomLord of slaves he cries

Slowly in fearThe dark lord appearsWelcome to my landsYou shall be damned

[bridge]

[chorus]

The iron crownedIs getting closerSwings his hammerDown on himLike a thunderstormHe's crushingDown the Noldor'sProudest king

Under my footSo hopeless it seemsYou've troubled my dayNow feel the pain

[bridge]

[chorus]

The Elvenking's brokenHe stumbles and fallsThe most proud and most valiant

His spirit survivesPraise our kingPraise our kingPraise our kingPraise our king

14. The Dark Elf

A dark seed of evil is grown

15. Thorn

A black swanIs born that nightThe misty pond(Has) got a new kingGot a new kingSo what can we doWith our livesWhen it all beginsIt's hard andIt's cruelWill grace die in pain?Will light ever rise again?

I'm trapped in darknessStill I reach out for the starsI'm moving in silenceI leave it all far behind

[chorus:]Oh at dawnI'll face the edge of thornsOh at dawnI'll pray at the edge of thornsOh at dawnI'll face the edge of thorns

Let us march onTo the fields of sacrifice(I'm) wondering whyI'll carry onWill I betray myselfTo rise


In the silenceIt's time to explain(And)Search for truth in liesUseful liesNeedless love's damned

What can we do with our livesWhen it all begins

[chorus]

Come follow meAnd you will seeHow it will beWhen all the pain is gone away

[chorus]

Let us march onThough there's no hope at our sideLet us be braveThough by glory we are deniedButDon't you thinkIt's time for usTo bring to an endCome play the song of deathThe wisdom in us bothWill make itSpecial guaranteedPlay the song of death

I'm lost in the depths of his eyesI can't fleeInner pain caused insanityIt's deep withinThe fear and the hungerEnslaved and deniedBy my love and my enemiesI'm the illgotten son

[chorus]

16. The Eldar

I've seen the moonAnd the first sunriseI'll leave it to the memoriesAnd kiss the wind goodbye

[chorus:]For the EldarI'm trapped inside this dreamOf the Eldar'sSong of doom

I've tasted poisonWhen I drank the wine of fateBut the fear was in my heartI realized too lateThe house of spirits call

[chorus:]For the EldarI'm trapped inside this dreamOf the Eldar'sSong of the doom

High's the feeSoon my spirit will returnWelcome dawnYour light will take me home

I say farewell

[chorus:]To the EldarI'm trapped inside this dreamOf the Eldar'sSong of doom


17. Nom The Wise

Thus he diedNom the WiseLord of the caves and friend of manFair, and nobleMost beloved of the Noldor racePaid the price, he redeemed the oathFarewell my friend, farewell

18. When Sorrow Sang

So let me out of itOut of the coldTo bring back light and hope for all

And so if I could get you inJust for a little whileInto the songs of sorrowYou might understand

Where am I nowBeyond the dawn(Where) hope's turned to dustAt all

Immortal love'sFooled by the hands of doomThat love means deathI realized too soon

[chorus:]Caught in the afterlifeI've gone too farWhen sorrow sang softly and sweetThe air was filled with tearsFull of sadness and griefWhen sorrow sang softly and sweet

I feel like screamingBut I can't breath inShall I wane right nowI will not leave thisWorld of livingTill she has said

Out in the coldI still wait for her callAnd her last kissIt shall be releaseI can't forget herHer face will not leaveFrom the depths of my soulI long for her

So I heard all about itHer voice's so clearShe's woven both themes in thereMoved me to tearsThe world shall hear this sad songSong of sorrow song of griefCan't change the way of his kindCan't change the way of her kind

[chorus]

19. Out On The Water

Out on the waterThe island of the dead that liveThere they dweltUntil they left the world andStill their deeds live forth in songs


20. The Steadfast

Now truly I am king of the worldMaster of fateDamned shall thy house beThou shall not question my powerNor shall thou defy me further

21. A Dark Passage

I feel coldFacing the darknessThe light's gone awayDeep in his castle he saidAll land'll be mineThere's one thing for sureThe triumph of shadow is nearDeep in his castle they sangWe shall not restUntil all will be thyne

All land is mineYou can be sureDon't dare methe mighty one screamed

[chorus:]Smashed down the lightI will not rest till I'm kingValinor's empty nowallied the elves and menthey shall be damned

Rise of Falla dark tale ends

just wondering howin the darknessthey found their wayto the right placechildren of the sunsecond kindredwe call their racetreat them kindlyborn in the east(are the) nightfearer

they moved westwardstowards the sunshine(they are) morning breath likeshort's their life(like) dawn passes bywhen the day comesthe field was lost(and) hope had passed awaythe sun went downbeyond the seadark was the hourbut day shall come again

[chorus]

Clean my woundswash away all fearlet courage be minenoone hears me crying

no song no talewhich contains all the grief(but)renowned the deedsand the victims of defeat

sit down on your chairand look out for your kinwith my eyes you'll seeand with my ears you'll hearyou troubled my dayand you've questioned my strength(but) don't messwith the master of fate

[chorus]

I smashed down the lightand dared ValinorI smashed down the lightrevenge will be mine

Slowly marching onstill we're marching on


22. Final Chapter (Thus Ends...)

Thus ends the fifth battleBy the treachery of men the field is lostThe night falls and great is the triumph of evilThe league is brokenThe last vestige of hope lives in the hidden kingOnly he troubles the dark one's mindOnly he could bring ruin to the black foeThough the land lies down in agony and the curse lives onA new star shall ariseAnd a new day shall come, again
