Nightfall is the fourth track for Blind Guardian's Tolkien themed album, Nightfall in Middle-Earth. It is the lament of Fëanor and his sons for the death of Finwë and the theft of the Silmarils, and their oath and rebellion against the Valar.
Lyrics
No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
All hope is lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone
Save me your speeches
I know
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 seagulls they sang
Lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(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 it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it 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 might 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
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
Oh we screamed for revenge
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
Vala he is that's what you said
(Freely you came and)
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
Never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends
Oh I'm heir of the high lord!
You'd better not trust him
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me yeah
Farewell
He said
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
Back to where it all began
Back to where it all began"
