Broken, treachery, a given promise kept Of changing and of shifting shape Thereby the snare was set Revealed the truth of where his companions lay And thus his kinsmen found their final resting place Yet among was one Afar, the forest bed he slept In dream the wraith did form Make haste, his father warn Dark was the hour When sorrow sang Avenged in the night Alone he fled from chains Army, hunting, prized above all other men By the Black Foe, his watchful eye ever enthroned Ever seeking, dreadful spirits, wolf enslaved Haunted horror, madness walked unrestrained He came down – down from the mountain Then he saw her How she sang – singing her song like a nightingale Then he loved her. Mortal man – and elvish princess Love undying But the king, schemed in the night while betraying his kind A hopeless quest to win her hand At winter's end my song awoke the spring Like the lark the dawn will come again I cannot bear to live without him I will follow into eternity. Broken, enslaved, devoured one by one With no hope of rescue, that beast awoke Frigid, dying in that deep dark pit Valley of Shadow Hath ensnared my heart Then out of the darkness her song aroused my soul Calling out for me My answer fierce and free Flee from this curse I've doomed my love Go while you can Our Fates entwined That holy jewel Bringer of doom I cannot win this fight Carcharoth, that savage werewolf Hunted down Sickened sun, embraced in shadow, the battle was fought Jewel returned, oath paid, death wrought Cursed be that fateful night Wind howled and moon glowed A ghost stirred from slumber Lifted by the spell, alive Devouring spirit, sudden fire Daunted not, his jaws clenched shut Swallowing the hand of doom Holy light burned anguish inside At winter's end my song awoke the spring Like the lark the dawn will come again I cannot bear to live without him I'll follow into eternity. Wandering dark halls I will sing my song Evermore mourning what I've lost Singing my grief to the end of time Within the Halls of Waiting As the starlight quenched She bade her love to wait Beside the western shore Until her mournful song was met Sorrow of the Elder and the grief of Men Two kindreds joined as one The Imperishable Flame

Disturbed in his lair, he came down from his mount Black in his heart to bathe death on the town Wakened from slumber upon his gold bed To tear through the land with his fiery breath Strangers had come from a faraway land In search of the treasure, reclaim his domain Return of the king that would prosper the realm Promises made for great jewels would held Aid given Oaths sworn Hope restored A fool's hope no more Battle rages on Hope for the dying Never give in to despair When darkness rules desire The glorious ruin at hand Hinder not the homecoming spoken of old His crown shall be lifted as songs fill the hall Restrung harps echo upon carven stone As wealth overflows from fountains of gold Bewitched I was not, evil tidings will be Ruin will find us, death comes swiftly Ready my bow and black arrow of yore Prepare for the vengeance that will surely enthrone Aid given Oaths sworn Hope restored A fool's hope no more As the town burned Ashen tears, mourning grey Seek escape, furnace ablaze Abandoned arms, the cowards betray As the town burned Ashen tears engulfed in flames Seek escape, furnace ablaze Abandoned arms, the cowards betray Yet when all seemed lost And all arrows spent The town aglow in flame and smoke Burning all our homes The captain of the guard Took up one last shot Forged under the mountain of old Struck heart, a piercing blow Battle rages on Hope for the dying Never give in to despair When darkness rules desire Five armies clash at the gate

Darkness falling The glory of the stars fade By the morn, I shall be gone The void beckons me home Weep not, my life is bought And the sea paid the fare Don't let death swallow your joy The power of the air feeds on grief These things happen You did everything you could Yes, night and day you searched and found me You were faithful I cannot repay you But I will love you, forever I'll be with you Promise me, swear you will Be careful when you return to the sea Do not follow me Here

This grief I cannot bear Cuts my will to breath My wife, beloved star Thrown overboard at sea All night I searched in vain With tempest waves crashing down And then I found her washed ashore Clinging to life, her frail body destroyed But I'll be damned if I do nothing Bereft of love, hopeless and so forlorn A newfound hate is born inside me Against the winds that mocked at my dying bride Ships set sail on glassy oceans Lured by the tranquil blue of a lying sea Betrayed by a hell born darkness Bent on tearing life from flesh and bone My heart yearns to traverse the span Confront his darkened force May never again set foot on land The sea is calling chart the course Bring down this ancient curse The salted air reminds me of her Struggling to breathe My wife, beloved star Died in my arms in tears All night I prayed for life With no answer but wretched grief And then I vowed to avenge her soul Seek out the darkened spirit so cruel My dearest love, you must not tempt this Let not your pain rule your heart This storm of rage inside your mind now Will only serve to fuel the tempest Drop it down, this awful anchor Your rage will sink you down to the ocean floor Cut them down, your sails of hatred They'll take you to a lost place of no return My heart yearns to traverse the span Confront his darkened force May never again set foot on land The sea is calling chart the course Bring down this ancient curse My God how his heart has broke like shattered clay Oh, my love, oh my heart, would that I could turn back time Undo this curse and fix your mind I have come to you in shadows and in dreams Can't you let go of your pain, Admit the sane logic of hope and future peace What is this for What can I do Does not this fool's errand warrant action, divine control Onward we boldly sail into horizon deep Surrounded by the night, moonlit waters ripple beneath Off in the distant west, a flash disrupts the darkness Could it be my wicked foe Thrashing, disrupting, corrupting my soul At last, the demon storm reveals Its waiting there for me Waters rising high above the bow A heart of vengeance speaks Your doom will be this night Follow the path toward ruin and pain Desperation corrupts the senses Losing control of the helm Lord of earth and sea subdue this darkness Would that you had intervened and let not his misery Take hold this maddened siege Distant rumblings of an ancient gale bestowed The path of ruin abounds As the foul spirit unfurls his mighty wings unleashed What was this for What has he done Does not this fool's errand warrant action, divine control As dark clouds cover the sky Heavenly streaks of light divide Ensuing dread of what may come Should this vengeance fail, undone A gust of wind so unnaturally strong Splits mast from hull, comes crashing down Waves crash over as men are tossed overboard Ship careened as water fills the void Ancient Lord of Heaven Divine Spare his life and crew inside A sinking vessel torn apart Plunging ever down so far Renew strength that once had reigned Give breath to those death-enslaved Let him seek new life remained Let go of inflicted pain As the morning breaks and the seas return serene Reborn again from leagues below A heart of sorrow speaks My love stood by my side, such love divine What you seem to imagine in grief so bare Is broken inside the flesh And you will find not Comfort in death nor relief from despair A life wasted on shame from what could have been But the storm depraved your mind Took hold its claws into Your soul led you to falter Burning all reason on its alter
