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
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
the misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone,
come take a look at the sky)
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

[Chorus:]
Nightfall,
quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall,
quietly it 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"

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

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 it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall,
quietly it 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
(But) freely you came and
you freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds;
never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You'd better not trust him"
The enemy of mine,
isn't he of your kind?
And finally, you may follow me
"Farewell,"
he said

Nightfall,
quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall,
quietly it 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
