The Lay of Númenorë Lyrics

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.”
