Nightfall
(Blind Guardian)
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 crept in and changed us all 
Nightfall 
Quietly 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
