Amrod Lyrics

A fire in the night,
An ocean burning bright,
A fear raged in Fëanor,
As he bathed in the light.
The ships were burned in scorn
Yet by the break of dawn
The Doom of Mandor
Already had begun

Denied his wife’s request,
Left her in the west,
To wallow in misery,
No sons for her caress.
Consumed by furious rage,
And lusting for the jewels,
Fëanor was guided
By forces grim and cruel.

Go forth with Fëanor, Lord of all
Lest you abandon the oath that we have sworn
Go forth and leave me here, whilst ablaze I feel no pain
My life is penance for the kin that we have slain

Fleeing on the seas,
Finarfin left in sorrow,
Fingolfin was left ashore
Abandoned to the snow
As storms raged all around,
They lost all sight of land,
Darkened voices called on them
Your doom is at hand

Go forth with Fëanor, Lord of all
Lest you abandon the oath that we have sworn
Go forth and leave me here, whilst ablaze I feel no pain
My life is penance for the kin that we have slain

Unnumbered tears shall fall,
Valinor will be walled.
To evil ends you all will fail
All for the kinslaying at Aqualonde
