lyrics
Age of the dwindling light
whispers in the starry night
Tengwar's swords Forged within
and comes afar a man of might
Four Hundred years of Elven glory
live on to tell the tragic story
in the hand and blood of Elrond
Gondolin's glory and magical will
watching beyond the hidden hills
outposts to keep the foes at bay
Maeglin's treachery from within
Rumors of the jealous traitors
and of the love that betrayed her
gave birth to the fraternal fires
now warned by the dead on the pyres
Foreshadowed with a premonition
Idril's seer came to fruition
beauty beyond the havens grey
murdered by a traitor's volition
Sons of the proud hidden stone city
battling on to stay forever free
no quarter given to the Orcs plenty
and aided by the men of the white Wing
The walls are high and strong
reigning true and everlong
blowing the high-guardian flutes
defending nigh the Elven roots
The walls are high and strong
reigning true and everlong
blowing the high-guardian flutes
defending nigh the Elven roots
Secrets in the dimming halls
seven gates are standing tall
but generations become memory
destroyed by Morgoth's thrall
Torn apart in plight and envy
Maeglin's hatred and gluttony
casting out the reputation
in the fallen city's travesty
Clashing swords and clubs and slings
full of sadness and no one sings
only strife and wrought with fire
foul smoke climbing ever higher
A place now only in smoldering ruins
whispers in the starry night
Tengwar's swords Forged within
and comes afar a man of might
Four Hundred years of Elven glory
live on to tell the tragic story
in the hand and blood of Elrond
Gondolin's glory and magical will
watching beyond the hidden hills
outposts to keep the foes at bay
Maeglin's treachery from within
Rumors of the jealous traitors
and of the love that betrayed her
gave birth to the fraternal fires
now warned by the dead on the pyres
Foreshadowed with a premonition
Idril's seer came to fruition
beauty beyond the havens grey
murdered by a traitor's volition
Sons of the proud hidden stone city
battling on to stay forever free
no quarter given to the Orcs plenty
and aided by the men of the white Wing
The walls are high and strong
reigning true and everlong
blowing the high-guardian flutes
defending nigh the Elven roots
The walls are high and strong
reigning true and everlong
blowing the high-guardian flutes
defending nigh the Elven roots
Secrets in the dimming halls
seven gates are standing tall
but generations become memory
destroyed by Morgoth's thrall
Torn apart in plight and envy
Maeglin's hatred and gluttony
casting out the reputation
in the fallen city's travesty
Clashing swords and clubs and slings
full of sadness and no one sings
only strife and wrought with fire
foul smoke climbing ever higher
A place now only in smoldering ruins
