Blind Guardian Nightfall
Music: Olbrich/Kursch Lyrics: Kursch 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 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) 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 CHORUS "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 better don't trust him" The enemy of mine Isn't he of your kind and Finally you may follow me Farewell He said CHORUS Back to where it all began
