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
[1]

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

The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

I stand alone
No one's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it's me or you


[2]

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


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

The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer
Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He's crushing
Down the Noldor's
Proudest king


[3]

Under my foot
So hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain

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

The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

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

[1] Just how I Imagine the landscapes in that particular passage of the Silmarillion

[2] Brave Fingolfin! Probably the most epic part of the song :)

[3] This is the point on which you want to cry
