A fire in the night,
An ocean burning bright,
A fear raged in Fëanor,
As he bathed in the light.
The ships were burned in scorn
Yet by the break of dawn
The Doom of Mandor
Already had begun
Denied his wife’s request,
Left her in the west,
To wallow in misery,
No sons for her caress.
Consumed by furious rage,
And lusting for the jewels,
Fëanor was guided
By forces grim and cruel.
Go forth with Fëanor, Lord of all
Lest you abandon the oath that we have sworn
Go forth and leave me here, whilst ablaze I feel no pain
My life is penance for the kin that we have slain
Fleeing on the seas,
Finarfin left in sorrow,
Fingolfin was left ashore
Abandoned to the snow
As storms raged all around,
They lost all sight of land,
Darkened voices called on them
Your doom is at hand
Go forth with Fëanor, Lord of all
Lest you abandon the oath that we have sworn
Go forth and leave me here, whilst ablaze I feel no pain
My life is penance for the kin that we have slain
Unnumbered tears shall fall,
Valinor will be walled.
To evil ends you all will fail
All for the kinslaying at Aqualonde

We cannot fight this war,
Morgoth is lord of all
His darkness conquers all
And his blade is sharp and strong
We hide underground,
Like dwarves eternally bound
To delve into the deep
No rule without his crown
Who is this man?
What power does he have?
No blood ties to this land
Just a ‘gift’ that ensures his end
No help from Thingol’s glade
The Sindar will bring no aid
Just claims that they were betrayed
But no kin have been slain
Hear now, the words of Fëanor
‘Brood of Morgoth or bright Vala
Elda, Maia or Aftercomer
Be he fair friend or unclean foe
Dread nor danger nor Doom itself
Shall save a man or elf
Who keepeth a Silmaril
Death will deal him a fate most ill’
Do not fear his darkened world
The mighty jewels will be ours by the fold
Our oath cannot be restrained
Morgoth will fall by Noldorin blade

Fairest glimpse of twilight,
You shine through the trees
Calling me to your side.
Tinúviel immortal,
Your songs are winter’s bane
Your eyes burn with divine flame
Stranger in the shadows,
I sense darkness in your mind.
The Hunter’s friend no longer,
His favour has left you blind
You shall not be trapped by a mortal man,
Your beauty has no place among the dead.
The firstborn blood of Finwë
Courses through my veins.
Help me avenge those who were slain.
As the elf lord
Came bearing down
On the maiden fair
In her anguish and her despair
Loyalties swung and her prison was laid bare
The elf lord’s gift,
From the forests of old
Took his flight
Away into the night,
To find her hero and aid him in his plight

Deep underground,
In the realm that never bowed
The sorrows of the oath are truly found
Blood fills the pools,
From the blade of Caranthir cruel
Again kin slay kin, for a jewel
War, of elven sons
Not for love
Darkness prevails
Compassion fails
Three shall survive
Three shall die
None shall win
The triumph is His
Lost in the dark,
Adrift in the past,
A city once divine left in dust
Swords were held high,
Bright elven flags did fly
And those once immortal were doomed to die
The sun has set in Doriath,
It will not rise again,
The elven tide will falter to the hardiness of men
Glorious sons of Fëanor,
What have we become?
Marching ever forward, we all fall one by one
War, of elven sons
Not for love
Darkness prevails
Compassion fails
Three shall survive
Three shall die
None shall win
The triumph is His

The flags of Fëanor ride once more,
The havens shall be plunged into war
Unspeakable horror in the night
Doriath’s survivors cannot take flight
The greatest horror, elf slays elf
Illúvatar will weep
For the sorrow of a thousand deaths
Where once was only peace
With memory of Losgar in the flames,
Amras let himself be slain
Finwë’s line continues to decay
Yet untold tragedy still remains
The greatest horror, elf slays elf
Illúvatar will weep
For the sorrow of a thousand deaths
Where once was only peace
Broken bodies all around,
A tragic end to life
The bloodstained flag no longer flies
Now Thingol’s line has died

Enchanted by its beauty,
Glistening with ancient gleam
All my evils are forgotten
This jewel is precious to me
The world has been freed of its darkness,
The evil taken in chains
Like dreams that I heard from my father,
Our birth right has been claimed
Is it the pain of my longing,
This searing sensation I feel?
Are the torments that I have inflicted,
Returning to haunt me?
I will not suffer this feeling
Fire will be my release
Filled with regret at my cruelty
I offer myself unto thee

Doomed to bear the burden of immortal life,
Forever lost beneath the starlight
Time will never wear away the memory,
The horrors we committed in our insanity
Our brothers burning in the cold,
The joy of youth lost to days of old
The waves of time now overbear
Oh bring back my brothers to me,
From senseless tales of tragedy
I await them by the shores of life
Reflecting for all time on what I have lost,
We swore our Father’s oath but did not know the cost
Beside the waves I will endure eternally,
Yet for our crimes, Elfkind fades from memory
Our brothers burning in the cold,
The joy of youth lost to days of old
The waves of time now overbear
Oh bring back my brothers to me,
From senseless tales of tragedy
I await them by the shores of life
