No sign of life did flicker   In floods of tears she cried   "All hope's lost it cannot be undone   They're wasted and gone"      "Save me your speeches   I know what you want   (They blinded us all)   You will take it away from me   Take it and I know for sure   The light she once brought in   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)   Monstrous it covered the shore   Fearful into the unknown"   Quietly it crept in new horror   Insanity reigned   It spilled the first blood   When the old king was slain      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   Oh we screamed for revenge      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      "Vala he is that's what you said   Then your oath's been sworn in vain   (But) freely you came and   Ýou freely shall depart   (So) never trust the Noldorin   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      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      Back to where it all began   Back to where it all began
