Arien 08:09
Sunrise, eternal light Dawn of a new time Evil will flee, and seek out the deep To escape the fire from on high Oh Arien, as you climb in the skies Forever the beacon of the birth of our kind Our foes will never rise again Darkness is brought to its end No more will our power be held All hail the dawning of men Life-bringing light Ride through the skies Banish the night Oh Arien
2.
Of forgotten majesty, I shall proclaim Primeval wilderness, My humble domain Seized by the sea, Relentless, no mercy Sundered with steel The children’s tyranny Withering trees Returning to me Man spreads his domain He seals the woodland fate Of forgotten majesty, I have proclaimed Primeval wilderness, My lost domain
3.
What was once a shining beacon Is lost in the gloomy deeps Tales of wonder and majesty Of kings on the carven stone Our right to rule was hewn from the mountain And ended by the terror from on high Now the sun sets on the mountain Our hallowed halls no longer shine As we wander in the wilderness Our hearts are starved of light Fear the horror deep within, death incarnate A terror, wreathed in blackened flame; fear Durin’s bane Brothers take arms And march! To where daylight dies Avenge all that we have lost And fight! Where daylight dies

This cannot be bourne We must hunt and slay the Pale Orc A slight to Durin’s name A heinous crime that we will answer Fight under the hills Down into the darkness In our holy halls Glory shall be won Fight for Durin’s name For our love of Thrór Khazad-dûm will be reclaimed Show them the might of Durin’s folk Marching on We burn the dead We will not stop This will not end

Minas Anor 08:05
The pale cliff climbing skyward Tower of the setting sun Home to glories immortal The stronghold of strength where peace begun Evil in the distance As its sister falls to the dark A shadow, ancient rival That northern land to which many fell The sun has fled from the kingdom The shadow in the east grows large Men will now live in fear Behold the tower of guard
7.
Where the forest stream went through the wood And silent all the stems there stood Of tall trees, moveless, hanging dark With mottled shadows on their bark No moon is there, no voice, no sound Of beating heart; a sigh profound Once in each age as each age dies Alone is heard. Far, far it lies, As each age dies No moon is there, no voice, no sound Of beating heart; a sigh profound Once in each age as each age dies Alone is heard. Far, far it lies, As each age dies Upon the plain, there rushed forth and high Shadows at dead end of night and mirrored in the sky Far, far away beyond might of day And there lay the land of dead of mortal cold decay As faint as a deep sleeper's breath An echo came as cold as death: Long are the paths, of shadow made Where no foot's print is ever laid Upon the plain, there rushed forth and high Shadows at dead end of night and mirrored in the sky Far, far away beyond might of day And there lay the land of dead of mortal cold decay

Reviews:
-----------
"The album is overflowing with moments that will at least make you sit up and take notice, and at best leave you breathless. This isn’t just another solid improvement, it’s Dwarrowdelf on the verge of becoming completely world class." - blackmetaldaily.wordpress.com

"It’s not that you haven’t heard music like this before — it’s just that it’s done really well here, like Midnight Odyssey but obsessed with Middle Earth instead of space. This stuff can turn into cheese real quick, but this experienced blacksmith forges atmospheric black metal that takes you on a thrilling journey through the twilight hall." - www.metalsucks.net

"It’s with “Of Dying Lights” that we get a truly gorgeous approach to the style that is filled with character, heart, understanding of the respective lore, and fantastic musicianship that is all-consuming" - headbangerreviews.wordpress.com

"Dwarrowdelf has made a monumental step where most others have not tread….. one that will ultimately see them flourish even more." - www.folk-metal.nl

"Dwarrowdelf loses in Black Atmo what he gains in originality and for me really knew how to develop something personal." - valkyrieswebzine.com

"The music is absolute top class in this genre: brilliant tempo changes, atmospheric melodies in which you feel like an eagle that floats through Middle Earth, light bursts, fairytale piano and guitar playing" - www.musika.be

"However, in times when I need to be calm, or really want to relax, it is exactly the kind of thing I listen to. Again the quality of this Dwarrowdelf album is incredible, and the composition is almost faultless" - ostarametal.com

"A solid and enjoyable release from an exceptionally talented individual" - musipediaofmetal.blogspot.com
