No sign of life did flicker In floods of tears she cried "All hope's lost it can't be undone They're wasted and gone" Save me your speeches, I know They blinded us all 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 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 crept in and changed us all Nightfall, quietly 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 may 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 it can't be broken 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 we screamed for revenge Nightfall, quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall, quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall, immortal land lies down in agony Vala he is that's what you said 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 better don't trust him The enemy of mine, isn't he of your kind and Finally you may follow me, farewell he said Nightfall, quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall, quietly 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
