[00:22.07] When the awesome day of great thunder came
[00:27.65] And the sound of trumpets shook the sky
[00:31.83] They say that Beleriand was all ablaze
[00:35.74] And that tongues of fire flew up high
[00:39.83] And the white host of Valinor went east
[00:43.31] Beauty and terror together marched
[00:46.38] To the battle of long-delayed revenge
[00:50.30] And by furious flames the land was parched
[00:57.33]
[01:18.04] They say that the Earth trembled under their feet
[01:23.45] In the hour of reckoning and war
[01:26.25] And their weapons cast a strong blinding sheen
[01:31.02] And the furtive darkness they pierced and tore
[01:38.74]
[01:51.97] Assailed by fear
[01:55.25] And strange doubt, he quailed
[01:58.51] In front of what he could not behold
[02:05.42]
[02:21.25] And in despair
[02:23.86] Launched the last assault
[02:27.11] From the infernal lairs
[02:30.22] Of his deep stronghold
[02:33.88]
[03:29.34] From the chasms and hellish pits
[03:38.79] Of the fell foe that ever sits
[03:48.08] On the hard throne of tyranny
[03:52.91] Deadliest horror of history
[03:56.68] Dismal flashes and burning hail
[04:00.62] Wrecking raiders that scourge and flail
[04:04.34] Dreadful clashes that wring the sky
[04:07.20] In the last effort to defy
[04:10.76] From the oceans of immense space
[04:14.88] Where the day and the night embrace
[04:18.14] Sweeping, wild winds of victory
[04:21.24] Irresistible symphony
[04:27.15] In the hour of flaming truth
[04:31.49] In the battle of wrath and ruth
[04:37.74] The star-vessel lit up the air
[04:41.53] At the summit of heaven's stair
[04:44.14] Fiery spirits in birdlike form
[04:46.72] Warring eagles against the storm
[04:55.13] Towering struggle until the end
[04:58.14] Iron talons that tear and rend
[05:04.35]
[05:51.70] See Ancalagon's last onslaught
[05:55.93] But with Earendil Fate's hand fought
[05:58.21] And the black heinous flame grew higher
[06:00.76] Until fire was killed by fire
[06:03.44] Floundering
[06:05.50] Elation
[06:08.29] Collapse
[06:09.66] Triumph
[06:15.00]
[07:06.90] When by the hands of justice
[07:09.57] The Silmarils were freed
[07:12.88] Shining pure and unsullied
[07:16.79] Each like a radiant bead
[07:19.91] Feanor's sons did not yield
[07:23.33] Anguished and yet strong-willed
[07:26.80] Weary and still unbending
[07:30.22] With ancient hardness filled
[07:33.88] Hearing the herald's message
[07:38.02] Refusing to give in
[07:41.04] Defying the supreme will
[07:44.39] Victims of their own sin
[07:47.77] Each of them seized a bright gem
[07:52.16] Neither could bear the pain
[07:55.34] With the blind slaves of murder
[08:01.69] The gems could not remain
[08:05.79] One in the fires of deep earth
[08:08.43] One in the unfathomed sea
[08:11.15] One in the airs of heaven
[08:15.00] Voyaging high and free
[08:18.47] One in the fires of deep earth
[08:21.77] One in the unfathomed sea
[08:25.06] One in the airs of heaven
[08:28.70] Voyaging high and free
[08:32.62] They shall not come together
[08:36.75] While the great Powers reign
[08:39.79] Unless the world is broken
[08:42.59] And Earth is made again
[08:50.32]
