War Of Wrath

(Kürsch)


Sauron: The field is lost
Everything is lost
The black one has fallen from the sky and the towers in ruins lie
The enemy is within, everywhere
And with him the light.
Soon they will be here
Go now, my lord, while there is time
There are places below


Morgoth: And you know them too.
I release thee, go.
My servant you'll be for all time.


Sauron: As you command, my King


Morgoth: I had a part in everything
Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed
I left ruin behind me when I returned
But I also carried ruin with me
She, the mistress of her own lust

Into The Storm

(Kürsch)


Give it to me, I must have it
Precious treasure, I deserve it

Where can I run, how can I hide the Silmarils?
Gems of treelight, their life belongs to me!
Oh it's sweet how the darkness is floating around...

We are following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
And we're following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
Lord I'm mean...

Blackheart show me what you hold in your hand
I still hunger for more!
Release me from my pain,
Give it to me
How I need it
How I need it
HOW I NEED IT

Where can I run, how can I hide the Silmarils?
Gems of treelight, their life belongs to me!
Oh it's sweet how the darkness is floating around...

We are following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
And we're following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
Lord I'm mean...

SOLO

I did my part, now it's your turn
And remember what you've promised

Where can I run, how can I hide the Silmarils?
Gems of treelight, their life belongs to me!
Oh it's sweet how the darkness is floating around...

We are following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
And we're following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
Lord I'm mean...

NightfalL

(Kürsch)


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

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

SOLO

"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
(Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside)
It can't be broken"

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

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

SOLO

"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

Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony


Back to where it all began

The Minstrel

(Kürsch


So I stand still
In front of the crowd
Excited faces
Whar will be next?
I still don't have a clue

The Curse Of Feanor

(Kürsch)


Taken the long way, dark realms I went through
I arrived my vision's so clear
In anger and pain I left deep wounds behind
But I arrived
Truth might be changed by victory

Beyond the void but deep within me a swamp of filth exists
A lake it was of crystal beauty but Arda's spring went by
I've heard the warning, well curse my name
I'll keep on laughing
No regret
No regret

Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord
Morgoth I cried
All hope is gone but I swear revenge
Hear my oath
I will take part in your damned fate

SOLO

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow which covers the light
I will always remember the time
But it's past I cannot turn back the time
(I) don't look back
There's still smoke near the shore
But I arrived, revenge be mine

I will take part in your damned fate
Morgoth I cried
It's my oath
So don't fear the eyes
Of the dark lord

SOLO

"Suddenly I realized
(Soon you will be free)
The prophecies
I've never believed in
(Set your spirit free)
My deeds were wrong
I've stained the land and slain my kin
(Burning Soul)
There's no release from my sins it hurts
(The curse of Fëanor runs long)
Time and only time will tell us
Tell: was I right or wrong?
When anger breaks through, I'll leave mercy behind"

I will take part in your damned fate
Morgoth I cried
It's my oath
So don't fear the eyes
Of the dark lord

SOLO

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow they'll cover my life
But I'll also remember mine
(And) after all I'm still alive

I'm still alive, I'm still alive
Morgoth I cried
All hope is gone, but I swear revenge
Hear my oath
I will take part in your damned fate

Captured


Morgoth: You are now my guest, forever (laughter)

Blood Tears

(Kürsch)


Welcome to my realm
We are both condemned to live
It's a dark fate
I can hear your calls
I can hear your calls
The eternal life

I see it still burns
Each night I cry in pain

Alive
Though the end appears my friend

And blood tears I cry
You've searched and you've found
Cut off your old friends hand

My mind's
In frozen dreams
The rotten flesh
Of bitter lies
Welcome to where time stands still
Noone leaves and noone ever will

Can't hold it, it burns
Each night I cry in pain

And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside

It seems so clearly
Bent the bow
Cause life in me is gone
And a cruel wind's blowing cold
And a cruel wind's blowing cold
(In blame)

GUITAR DUELL

And life it shall wane
Each night I cry in pain

And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
And blood tears I cry
Endless grief remained inside
Cut off your old friends hand

Mirror Mirror

(Kürsch)


Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain

It lies unknown, the land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence, words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer

Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity

Gone's the wisdom of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe

Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change

SOLO

Even though the storm calmed down
The bitter end is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon?
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts

How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark

Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change

Face The Truth

(Kürsch)

The moon, the sign of hope
It appeared when we left the pain of the ice-desert behind
We faced up to the curse and endured misery
Condemned we are
We brought hope, but also lies, and treachery

Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns)

(Kürsch)


Noldor, blood is on your hands
Your bane's a tearful destiny

Black clouds will carry rain of blood
I've seen it rain
I've seen it rain

We were lost,
On grinding ice, in fear and hunger
Dead winter reigned in Araman

(You) can't escape from my damnation
(Nor) run away from isolation
"Guilty" spoke the one
This deed can't be undone
Hear my words
Fear my curse

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

(You) can't escape from my damnation
(Nor) run away from isolation
"Guilty" spoke the one
This deed can't be undone
Hear my words
Fear my curse

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

SOLO DUET

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

(You) can't escape from my damnation
(Nor) run away from isolation
"Guilty" spoke the one
This deed can't be undone
Hear my words
Fear my curse

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

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

Battle Of Sudden Flame

(Kürsch)


Oh lord here I stand
Suddely everything's gone
For all Noldor
From now on my life
Is my gift to you
Just lead my fate
To the victory of elves

Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill)

(Kürsch)


Light fails at dawn
The moon is gone
And deadly the night reigns

Deceit

Finally I've found myself
In these lands
Horror and madness I've seen here
For what I became a king of the lost?
Barren and lifeless the land lies

Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night and a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord

The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

I stand alone
Noone's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it's me or you

He gleams like a star nd the sound of his horn's like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord challenges the doom
"Lord of slaves" he cries

Slowly in fear the dark lord appears
"Welcome to my lands, you shall be damned"

Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night and a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord

The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

SOLO DUET

The iron crowned is getting closer
Swings his hammer down on him
Like a thunderstorm he's crushing
Down the Noldor's proudest king

Under my foot
So hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain

Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night and a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord

The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

The Elvenking's broken, he stumbles and falls
The most proud and most valiant, his spirit survives
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king

Thorn

(Kürsch)


A black swan is born that night
The misty pond's got a new king
(Got a new king)
So what can we do with our lives
When it all begins?
It's hard and it's cruel
Will grace die in pain?
Will light ever rise again?

I'm trapped in darkness
Still I reach out for the stars
I'm moving in silence
I leave it all far behind

Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns

Let us march on
To the fields of sacrifice
(I'm) wondering why
I'll carry on
Will I betray myself to rise

In the silence i's time to explain
(And) search for truth in lies
Useful lies
Needless love's damned

What can we do with our lives
When it all begins?

Come follow me
And you will see
How it'll be
When all the pain is gone away

Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns

SOLO

Let us march on
Though there's no hope at our side
Let us be brave
Though by glory we are denied

But don't you think it's time for us to bring to an end?
Come play the song of death
The wisdom in us both will make it special guaranteed
Play the song of death

I'm lost in the depths of his eyes I can't flee
Inner pain caused insanity It's deep within
The fear and the hunger enslaved and denied
By my love and my enemies I'm the illgotten son

Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns

The Eldar

(Kürsch)


I've seen the moon
And the first sunrise
I'll leave it to the memories
And kiss the wind goodbye

For the Eldar
I'm trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's song of doom

I've tasted poison
When I drank the wine of fate
But the fear was in my heart
I realized too late
The house of spirits call

[chorus:]
For the Eldar
I'm trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's song of the doom

High's the fee
Soon my spirit will return
Welcome dawn
Your light will take me home

I say farewell

To the Eldar
I'm trapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's song of doom

Nom The Wise

(Kürsch)


Thus he died
Nom the Wise
Lord of the caves and friend of man
Fair, and noble
Most beloved of the Noldor race
Paid the price, he redeemed the oath
Farewell my friend, farewell

When Sorrow Sang

(Kürsch)


So let me out of it
Out of the cold
To bring back light and hope for all

And so if I could get you in just for a little while
Into the songs of sorrow, you might understand

Where am I now?
Beyond the dawn
(Where) hope's turned to dust
At all

Immortal love's fooled by the hands of doom
That love means death I realized too soon

Caught in the afterlife I've gone too far
When sorrow sang softly and sweet
The air was filled with tears full of sadness and grief
When sorrow sang softly and sweet

SOLO

I feel like screaming
(But) I can't breath in
Shall I wane right now
I will not leave this world of living
Till she has said goodbye

Out in the cold I still wait for her call
And her last kiss it shall be release
I can't forget her her face will not leave
From the depths of my soul I long for her

Caught in the afterlife I've gone too far
When sorrow sang softly and sweet
The air was filled with tears full of sadness and grief
When sorrow sang softly and sweet

SOLO

So I heard all about it
Her voice's so clear
She's woven both themes in there
Moved me to tears
The world shall hear this sad song
Song of sorrow song of grief
Can't change the way of his kind
Can't change the way of her kind

Caught in the afterlife I've gone too far
When sorrow sang softly and sweet
The air was filled with tears full of sadness and grief
When sorrow sang softly and sweet

Out On The Water

(Kürsch)


Out on the water
The island of the dead that live
There they dwelt
Until they left the world and
Still their deeds live forth in songs

The Steadfast

(Kürsch)


Now truly I am king of the world
Master of fate
Damned shall thy house be
Thou shall not question my power
Nor shall thou defy me further

A Dark Passage

(Kürsch)


I feel cold
Facing the darkness
The light's gone away
Deep in his castle he said
"All land'll be mine
There's one thing for sure
The triumph of shadow is near"
Deep in his castle they sang
We shall not rest until all will be thyne

All land is mine
You can be sure
"Don't dare me"
the mighty one screamed

Smashed down the light
I will not rest till I'm king
Valinor's empty now
Allied the elves and men
They shall be damned

Rise of Fall
A dark tale ends

Just wondering how
In the darkness
They found their way
To the right place
Children of the sun
Second kindred
We call their race
Treat them kindly
Born in the east
(Are the) nightfearer
They moved westwards
Towards the sunshine
(They are) morning breath like
Short's their life
(Like) dawn passes by
When the day comes

The field was lost, hope had passed away
The sun went down beyond the sea
Dark was the hour but day shall come again

Smashed down the light
I will not rest till I'm king
Valinor's empty now
Allied the elves and men
They shall be damned

Clean my wounds
Wash away all fear
Let courage be mine
Noone hears me crying

No song no tale which contains all the grief
Renowned the deeds and the victims of defeat

Sit down on your chair and look out for your kin
With my eyes you'll see and with my ears you'll hear
You troubled my day and you've questioned my strength
Don't mess with the master of fate

Smashed down the light
I will not rest till I'm king
Valinor's empty now
Allied the elves and men
They shall be damned

I smashed down the light and dared Valinor
I smashed down the light revenge will be mine

Slowly marching on
Still we're marching on

Final Chapter (Thus Ends...)

(Kürsch)


Thus ends the fifth battle
By the treachery of men the field is lost
The night falls and great is the triumph of evil
The league is broken
The last vestige of hope lives in the hidden king
Only he troubles the dark one's mind
Only he could bring ruin to the black foe
Though the land lies down in agony and the curse lives on
A new star shall arise
And a new day shall come, again
