Blind Guardian - Nightfall

Nightfall
Blind Guardian

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
They're wasted and gone"

"All hope's lost it can't be undone
"Save me your speeches
I know what you want
(They blinded us all)
You will take it away from me
The light she once brought in
Take it and I know for sure

Is gone forever more"
Like sorrowful seaguls 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)
Quietly it crept in new horror
Fearful into the unknown"
Insanity reigned
Monstrous it covered the shore
It spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

The bliss and the beauty will not return
"How long shall we mourn in the dark
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
Until the world's end
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear by the name of the one
Just wondering how
It can't be broken"

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 crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Immortal land lies down in agony
Nightfall

Then your oath's been sworn in vain
"Vala he is that's what you said
(But) freely you came and
?ou freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!
The enemy of mine
"You better don't trust him"
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
