Nightfall Lyrics - Nightfall In Middle-earth - Blind Guardian

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 

"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 

Nightfall 

Quietly crept in and changed us all 

Nightfall 

Quietly crept in and changed us all 

Nightfall 

Immortal land lies down in agony 

"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
