Nightfall
Torniamo con i Blind Guardian per quanto riguarda la Musica ispirata alle opere di Tolkien!
Oggi vi propongo “Nightfall”, dall’album “Nightfall in Middle-Earth”, ispirata all”abbandono di Valinor ed agli avvenimenti che videro protagonista Fëanor.
Testo:
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
Lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(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
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 might 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
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
(Freely you came and)
Then your oath’s been sworn in vain
Never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends”
“Oh I’m heir of the high lord!”…
