Lyrics
Fair and desperate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sun has failed and the Moon is dead,
Stars are erased o'er Gorgoroth;
Snuffed is the light of the Silmaril:
Beren forsaken lies…
How can I fight with a broken sword?
Now the forge's fire is ashen cold;
Stand by me to die on the Silent Shore
Fair and desperate…
There can be no victory,
Minas Tirith is prey to wolves;
Pathos fill my cup with pain:
Here's to Her beauty's bane!
Where am I to go when I have no home?
Give me back my heart as a shattered shield;
Know I'll die alone on the Iron Hill
Fair and desperate…
On the deserted battlefield
I seek the shards of a broken heart;
Midst hopes and banners torn apart
Death is my sole reward…
How can I fight with a broken sword?
Now the forge's fire is ashen cold;
Stand by me to die on the Silent Shore
Fair and desperate…
The trembling starlight of the skies
Burns me beside the Grey Sea:
Borgia tell me 'twas not in vain,
For I love thy lies…
Where am I to go when I have no home?
Give me back my heart as a shattered shield;
Know I'll die alone on the Iron Hill
Fair and desperate…
