blind guardian nightfall in middle earth! i bought an alubum of theirs
Light fails at dawn
The moon is gone
And deadly the night reigns
Deceit
Finally I've found myself
In these lands
Horror and madness I've seen here
For what I became a king of the lost?
Barren and lifeless the land lies
bridge:
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
chorus (repeat 2x):
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
I stand alone
Noone's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it's me or you
He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn's
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord
Challenges the doom
Lord of slaves he cries
Slowly in fear
The dark lord appears
Welcome to my lands
You shall be damned
bridge
chorus
The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer
Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He's crushing
Down the Noldor's
Proudest king
Under my foot
So hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain
bridge
chorus
The Elvenking's broken
He stumbles and falls
The most proud and most valiant
His spirit survives
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
There are signs on the Ring
Which makes me feel so down
There's one to enslave all Rings
To find them all in time
And drive them into darkness
Forever they'll be bound
Three for the Kings
Of the elves high in light
Nine to the mortal
Which cry
I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow
I'll keep the Ring till I die
I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow
I'll keep the Ring till i die
(solo: Marcus)
Ref.:
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and i walk to the hill
And there's no way out
Mordor
Dark land under Sauron's spell
Threatened for a long time
Threatened for a long time
Seven rings to the dwarves
In their halls made of stone
Into the valley
I feel down
One ring to the dark lord's hand
Sitting on his throne
In a land so dark
Where i have to go
I'll keep the Ring (5x)
(solo: Marcus)
Slow down and I sail on the river
Slow down and i walk to the hill (4x)
Into The Storm
Give it to me
I must have it
Precious treasure
I deserve it
bridge:
Where can I run
How can I hide
The Silmarils
Gems of treelight
Their life belongs to me
Oh it's sweet how the Darkness is floating around
chorus:
We are following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
And we are following the will of the one
Through the dark age and into the storm
Lord I'm mean
Blackheart show me
What you hold in hand
I still hunger for more
Release me
from my pain
Give it to me
How I need it
How I need it
How I need it
bridge
chorus
I did my part
Now it's your turn
And remember
What you've promised
narrator (Sauron):
The field is lost
Everything is lost
The black one has fallen from the sky and the towers in ruins lie
The enemy is within, everywhere
And with him the light, soon they will be here
Go now, my lord, while there is time
There are places below
(Morgoth):
And you know them too
I release thee, go
My servant you'll be for all time
(Sauron):
As you command
My king
(Morgoth):
I had a part in everything
Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed
I left ruin behind me when I returned
But I also carried ruin with me
She, the mistress of her own lust
The Curse of Feanor
Taken the long way
Dark realms I went through
I arrived
My vision's so clear
In anger and pain
I left deep wounds behind
But I arrived
Truth might be changed by victory
Beyond the void but deep within me
A swamp of filth exists
A lake it was of crystal beauty
But Arda's spring went by
I've heard the warning
Well curse my name
I'll keep on laughing
No regret
No regret
chorus (1):
Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord
Morgoth I cried
All hope is gone but I swear revenge
Hear my oath
I will take part in your damned fate
I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow which covers the light
I will always remember the time
But it's past
I cannot turn back the time
(I) don't look back
There's still smoke near the shore
But I arrived
Revenge be mine
chorus (2):
I will take part in your damned fate
Morgoth I cried
It's my oath
So don't fear the eyes
Of the dark lord
Soon you will be free
Set your spirit free
"Suddenly I realized
The prophecies
I've never believed in
My deeds were wrong
I've stained the land
And slain my kin
(Burning Soul)
There's no release from my sins
It hurts
THE CURSE OF FANOR RUNS LONG
Time and only time will tell us
Tell: was I right or wrong?
When anger breaks through
I'll leave mercy behind"
chorus (2)
I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow they'll cover my life
But I'll also remember mine
(And) after all I'm still alive
haven't we went through this before, Led Zepplin was the basis for the eagles
Discos - they both can "whale"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
while looking for tolkien poems, songs i stumbled across 'the battle of evermore' by led zeppelin.....and it had 'more zeppelin songs for tolkien' so i went...and it was there
i think in parts it relates
theres a lady..who is sure all that glitters is gold
' not all that glitters is gold' <part of the song about aragorn
the lady is self explanatory
and the whole looking to the west, forests, piper calling her to go...
i found a website a while ago that said that it didn't have anything to do with it, i think that the stanza's
There's a feeling i get when i look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving '
in my thoughts i have seen
rings of smoke through the trees
and the voiced of those who stand looking
does, and jimmy page (guitarist... my idol) said that Robert Plant (lead vocals) was obsessed with lotr and alot of other english legend... it's probable, ramble on has a shout out to gollum, battle of evermore has ringwraiths, there are others, i can't think of them, i'm pretty positive the rain song has tolkein roots as well, but i've never sen it proven or disproven
