The Fall of Nargothrond

Lord of Waters, your voice came in vain
To the hidden caves of Nargothrond
And the words of warning could not save
The strong fortress where proud Elves abode
Blood-stained warrior, your black sword
Could slay, your weird mask
Could frighten all foes
But your hardness was the altar-stone
Where Finrod’s kin were sacrificed
And the dragon now sits in our halls
Finrod’s mansion has become his den
Our realm does not exist anymore
Living only in remindful tales
Curse the day
When the great bridge was built
Stones of pride
That should have been destroyed
Paved the way for the wreckful attack
On the heart of our power and wealth
And the dragon now sits in our halls
Finrod’s mansion has become his den
Our realm does not exist anymore
Living only in remindful tales
And the dragon now sits in our halls
Finrod’s mansion has become his den
Crystal springs have turned into mud
The Fell Winter has frozen our lives
Snow has come in swift whirling drifts
Algid heralds from Death’s own domain
And the dragon now sits in our halls
Finrod’s mansion has become his den
Our realm does not exist anymore
Living only in remindful tales
And the dragon now sits in our halls
Finrod’s mansion has become his den
