Nightfall |
| No sign of life did flicker |
| In floods of tears she cried |
| «All hope’s lost it can’t be undone |
| They’re wasted and gone» |
| «Save me your speeches |
| I know (They blinded us all) |
| What you want |
| You will take it away from me |
| Take it and I know for sure |
| The light she once brought in |
| Is gone forevermore» |
| Like sorrowful seaguls they sang |
| «(We're) lost in the deep shades |
| The misty cloud brought |
| (A wailing when beauty was gone |
| Come take a look at the sky) |
| Monstrous it covered the shore |
| Fearful into the unknown» |
| Quietly it crept in new horror |
| Insanity reigned |
| And spilled the first blood |
| When the old king was slain |
| Chorus: |
| Nightfall |
| Quietly crept in and changed us all |
| Nightfall |
| Quietly crept in and changed us all |
| Nightfall |
| Immortal land lies down in agony |
| «How long shall we |
| Mourn in the dark |
| The bliss and the beauty |
| Will not return |
| Say farewell to sadness and grief |
| Though long and hard the road may be» |
| But even in silence I heard the words |
| «An oath we shall swear |
| By the name of the one |
| Until the world’s end |
| It can’t be broken» |
| Just wondering how |
| I 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 hearts |
| Full of hate full of pride |
| We screamed for revenge |
| Chorus |
| «Vala he is that’s what you said |
| Then your oath’s been sworn in vain |
| (But) freely you came and |
| You freely shall depart |
| (So) never trust the northern winds |
| Never turn your back on friends» |
| «Oh I’m heir of the high lord!» |
| «You better don’t trust him» |
| The enemy of mine |
| Isn’t he of your kind and |
| Finally you may follow me |
| Farewell |
| He said |
| Chorus |
| Back to where it all began |
