Noldor ( Dead Winter Reigns ) Lyrics
Artist: Blind Guardian
Album: Nightfall In Middle-Earth
Noldor
Blood is on your hands
Your bane's
A tearful destiny
Black clouds will carry
Rain of blood
I've seen it rain
We were lost
On grinding ice
In fear and hunger
Dead winter reigned
In Araman
prebridge:
(You) can't escape
From my damnation
(Nor) run away
From isolation
bridge:
Guilty spoke the one
THis deed can't be undone
Hear my words
Fear my curse
chorus:
I know where the stars glow
(And the) sky's unclouded
Sweet the water runs my friend
(But) Noldor
Blood is on your hands
Tears unnumbered
You will shet and dwell in pain
Your homeless souls
Shall come to me
There's no release
Slain you might be
Slain you will be
Slain you will be
And the lost
Who will not reach the
House of spirits
(Will) grow old and weary
prebridge
bridge
chorus
I've seen this bitter end
As I've foreseen
The storm and ice
And I could see it
(How) a million died
And I?
The blame's on me
Cause I was not there
prebridge
bridge
chorus
Dead winter reigns
And tomorrow's still unknown
Lies
Condemned and betrayed
Now everything is said
See my eyes
Are full of tears
And a cruel price
We've paid
But still I can't claim
That I'm innocent
Lost

Comments/Interpretations
Song makes me cry :)
hell, its capable of evokin a great number of feelings, mostly desperation, just dont hear it if you have separation anxiety
Great song!
I've read J.R.R. Tolkien's book many times and I think this song perfectly pictures history of Noldors - their betrayal, massacre of Teleri elves and flight from Valinor.
Indeed - it can make cry.
"The blame's on me
Cause I was not there"
I've puzzled over this - maybe the speaker here is Feanor, and he is blaming himself because he was not present when Morgoth stormed Formenos, slew his father and stole the Silmarils? Perhaps he thinks if he were present he could have prevented these events - thus he blames himself?
Other interpretations welcome...
Like many of the other BG - NFiME songs, I agree this one is very moving.
I initially liked the band thanks to this song. It's a little masterpiece
Beautiful song and beatiful book Silmarillion!
Tatyana:
Yeah, Blind Guardian has a masterpiece for everyone. Mine's "And then there was silence". Its simply awesome.
What I love about Blind Guardian is that they portray the Noldor as more (for lack of a better word) villainous than most people think when they think of Elves like Fingolfin and Galadriel.
One of the best lyric ever written by Blind Guardian. It perfectly portraits Noldor's mistakes and cursed fate.
I have always identified myself with Fingolfin, so this speaks right to my heart with empathy.
To Greg Huey:
Since it's clearly Fingolfin speaking, I'd rather think that he relates that his part in the Kinslaying of Alqualondë was because he initially wasn't there to witness it all from the beginning: when the Teleri refused to give away their ships and Fëanor tried to steal them. Fingon and Fingolfin arrived later right into the heat of the battle and without asking questions or looking right or left took Fëanor's side, to be later banished with him for the massacre and betrayed by him - left to cross the ice of Araman and Helcaraxë on foot, while he burned the stolen ships in Losgar.
It's my destiny
I actually think it's Mandos himself speaking - pronouncing his Doom upon the Noldor.
The song is, in fact, both the Doom of Mandos and the Lamentation of Fingolfin.
Can't get this song out of my head... it is truely beautiful.
I've puzzled over this - maybe the speaker here is Feanor, and he is blaming himself because he was not present when Morgoth stormed Formenos...
- It's Feanaro. But I don't believe he's sorry about Helkarasse. But lyrics're about that.
