Noldolantë

Read Noldolantë

I've heard there was a secret forge

Where you produced a mighty sword

Because of lies that Melkor used to dismay

You crafted helms with plumes of red

In jealous pride, your madness spread

But all you did was herald Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

You yearned for freedom to abide

In open lands you'd been denied

Because the Valar used the light to hold sway

But now the Trees have fallen dark

They seek to take your final spark

Your broken heart became the Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

You love was strong but deep you mourned

The memory of a mother scorned

Your father slain, and many more in that bay

You made an oath, you spoke a vow

You had to see it through somehow

It's a cold and it's a cruel Noldolantë

Noldolantë

You let no doom prevent your path

Not blood of kin nor sea of wrath

For fear of treason, you were first to betray

A brother’s loyalty you spurned

For those you left you'd not return

But you could not escape the Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

In battle fell, consumed by fire

You left no body for a pyre

And with your dying words a curse you laid

For on your sons you set a snare

That none of them could hope to bear

The bitter fall recalled in Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë

Noldolantë
