Far beyond the horizon of the night
I sail to reach the land I’ve never seen
Silver Star will guide me to the Light
A shade from east across the morning sea
I will never see again
White flame from the sky
Ships sail into winds of war
I saw it in my dreams
Shadow of Men comes closer to their soul
For what they seek
As elves the eternal life
Darkest days approaching to the mourn
Against the will of Valar
The Fate is mine!
I will never see again
White flame from the sky
Ships sail into winds of war
I saw it in my dreams
Trumpets call
The ships set sail
The men stand armed in shining mail
Unfurled, the golden banners fly
And loudly sing that doom is nigh
Fire, flames, lightning
Comes from a red sky!
Fire, flames, lightning
Make king's crown shine!
The Sun turned dark, the silence rose
The king's fleet fell into fear and wrath
Westward they unsheathed their swords
And trod the land of the Shining Lords
Fire, flames, lightning, - war to west lords!
Comes from a red sky! – rise, men, rise!
Fire, flames, lightning, - war to Valar!
Bring the ire of eagles!
Valar: “Nothing can redeem you from your desire
Your insanity will bring you to the grave, you’ll see
You will always remember this never-ending agony
And you’ll carry this damned mark on your hearts. ”
Sign your legacy – don’t let it fall
Rise against the fate – for us all
Immortality - don’t let it fall
Darkness and lies are upon you
I’ll see beyond what once was
The land of their fall and my will
We all belong to what once was
The land of their fall and my will
A scream from the envy heart of a man
Started a losing battle against unholy fate
Dark desire craved the immortal lands
An evil ran wild through their veins
Elendil: “What we have done? What kind of nightmare has been created?
Will we ever rise or we’ll fall again and make this in vain?
Will Sauron return after us to get revenge on us?
Will our sons defend peace or they’ll surrender to their greed? ”
I will never see again
White flame from the sky
Ships sail into winds of hope
I saw it in my dreams
Isildur: “A tear for Númenorë
Down deep into the unknown
A tear for Mar-nu-Falmar
Down deep into the unknown. ”
