Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears, she cried
All hope's lost, it cannot be undone
They're wasted and gone
[Verse 2]
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 forever more
[Verse 3]
Like sorrowful seagulls, they sang
Lost in the deep shades the misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone, come, take a look at the sky)
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Nightfall
Quietly, it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly, it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
But even in silence, I heard the words
An oath we shall swear by the name of the one till 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)
[Verse 8]
The words of banished king, I swear revenge
Filled with anger, aflamed our hearts
Full of hate, full of pride
Oh, we screamed for revenge
[Verse 9]
Nightfall
Quietly, it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly, it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
[Verse 10]
Vala he is, that's what you said
(But freely, you came and you freely shall depart)
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
Never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends
[Verse 11]
Oh, I'm heir of the high lord
(You better not trust him)
The enemy of mine, isn't he of your kind
And finally, you may follow me
Farewell, he said
[Verse 12]
Nightfall
Quietly, it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly, it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
[Verse 13]
Back to where it all began
Back to where it all began
