Nightfall Lyrics

Artist: Blind Guardian
Album: Nightfall In Middle-Earth

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

Funny story about this song! I was down in my room in the basement and my radio (which was switched off at the time) suddenly started blasting this song. Few months later I found out some ancestors of mine owned a small castle in Britian. Weird, huh?

This is my favourite track in the album, only "Time stands still (at the iron hill)" coming close.

This song is pure poetry, I listened the album some days after reading the silmarillion, and this track made me literally cry. BG just found the perfect impressions to tribute one of the saddest chapters in the books. That feeling of sadness and loss beyond recover, that feeling that the dark one actually won by obtaining what he wanted: spoiling the eldar, breaking them, turning the most virtuous of them (feanor) to madness and evil, and even making Yavanna cry (I mean, just the thought of yavanna crying makes me sad enough to cry myself).

a masterpiece
