Lyrics to The Return Of The Shadow [Full Album 2022] by Battlelore

Tracklist: 01. Minas Morgul The silver light cast away From the towers and the walls The pale white horror took a place Spreading madness and decay The Eight arrived for their King Great Shadows walked again The watch of Men failed in shame As the city burned in flames Minas Morgul's dark sorcery Corpse-light in the dead black sky Tower rising from the tombs of fallen kings And their Gods Poison fumes fill the air Dying ground, no trees or streams Day and night full of light Light that illuminated nothing at all Once proud and great mortal men Servants in Shadows embrace Ithil-stone, device of lies Eternal eclipse of the moon 02. Chambers Of Fire The Shadow is here again With the Second Sun Journeys of the Sorcerer Drawn to fiery wastelands Power of a Mountain Under His summons Ashes and blaze A barren plain - of Gods Up in the Mountain The Cracks Of Doom The deep, dark tunnel The Chambers Of Fire Up in the Mountain The greatest forge Tools of destruction The Chambers Of Fire Forts and garrisons Legions of hate Walls and gates To guard the Eye of fire Stronghold is rising The dreadful towers Smoke in the air The darkest hours - of Men The night never ends Above the land of the lost Embers and ash hiding the earth Full of sorrow A hall upon Orodruin's heart Echoes the choiring sound Announcing the last day Of all to come Up in the Mountain The Cracks Of Doom The greatest forge The Chambers Of Fire 03. Orcrist Shadows hiding, the deepest dark The game is on for the hunt The gleam I wear burns your eyes With the fear I shall thrive Night casts its veil Thousands of stars lead the way You by my side Until the end of time There is no place In a world of silence Where you can't be found You are on my ground The funeral moon behind the clouds Glowing grim and blue Streams of black flow around Dead black eyes, the cleaving sound Night casts its veil Thousands of stars lead the way You by my side Until the end of time "The Great Goblin gave a truly awful howl of rage when he looked at it, and all his soldiers gnashed their teeth, clashed their shields, and stamped. They knew the sword at once. It had killed hundreds of goblins in its time, when the fair elves of Gondolin hunted them in the hills or did battle before their walls. They had called it Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver, but the goblins called it simply Biter. They hated it and they hated worse any one that carried it." Murderers and elf-friends! Slash them! Beat them! Bite them! Gnash them! Take them away to dark holes full of snakes And never let them see the light again! There is no place In a world of silence Where you can't be found There is no shelter (There is no shelter) No cave nor dungeon (No cave nor dungeon) You are on my ground (You are on my ground) There is no place (There is no place) In a world of silence 04. Homecoming It's been too long Since we crossed the Brandywine Memories alive again And the life we had Feels like ages When our journey began Through the days of wonder We came back as one So much has changed Lost and burnt away But this is where we belong This is where we stay The years may pass and go This remains our home We are back stronger Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) We are back stronger (Stronger) Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) They tried to scare us Break our will and force us down Metal and foul machines Old Man's order It was time to raise the Shire Back to its former glory To battle against the traitors To cut the evil tongues So much has changed Lost and burnt away But this is where we belong This is where we stay The years may pass and go This remains our home We are back stronger Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) We are back stronger (Stronger) Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) A torn Old Man Fell with his Tower Colourless robe Words without power Lord of the fools Can't see his loss The hate and the pride Master of lies We are back stronger Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) We are back stronger (Stronger) Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) We are back stronger Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) We are back stronger (Stronger) Than ever before We claim back the land And the sword (And the sword) 05. Elvenking The days of old will never return Great is the weight of my crown Sound of the wind has changed its tone Pale is the green of the leaves I have seen the world coming down Lived through the wither and bloom I have a reason, the higher cause I am immortal, I cannot fall I am a son of a Firstborn I am a king, I will not fall Seasons of gold, the deep blue skies The Gods and the dragons, the dark times I have seen the world coming down and rising again, again Lived through the wither and bloom Seen the stars, the birth and the doom again I have a reason, the higher cause I am immortal, I cannot fall I am a son of a Firstborn I am a king, I will not fall (I will not fall) 06. Firekeeper Nothing but silence As the distant song fulfills the Void The light, the flame, the heart In the center of That Is All The divine fire burns For the Power Of Creation To give the soul for the living A gift of life for all the being The All High, The One Alone Firekeeper of the world The Holy Ones, the line of Gods From the Flame of all songs Ilúvatar, All-father Gave to their vision Being And set it amid the Void The Secret Fire was sent to burn At the heart of the world And it was called Eä The All High, The One Alone Firekeeper of the world The Holy Ones, the line of Gods From the Flame of all songs The light won't fade away A beacon standing strong in a storm From the birth of it all Until the end of days The light won't fade away A beacon standing strong in a storm From the birth of it all Until the end of days 07. Mirrormere Once awakened, he journeyed alone Through a land, never seen before Until one day he arrived To a shore of a shimmering bay, bay of silver Silence of the water, surrounded by the peaks He had found his land, his home Shining surface of a calm, hallowed lake Reflected a crown of stars upon his brows Silence of the water Surrounded by the peaks Three mighty mountain sides Walls of Silvertine Redhorn's Northern pass Summit In The Clouds Shining surface of a calm, hallowed lake Reflected a crown of stars upon his brows Stairs and runic stones Overshadowed streams Dim dale of the Longbeards Tower and the gate On the shores of the crowning lake Made by the Deathless King Once awakened, he journeyed alone Found his land, his kingdom, his home Shining surface of a calm, hallowed lake Reflected a crown of stars upon his brows Shining surface of a calm, hallowed lake Reflected a crown of stars upon his brows There lies the Mirrormere 08. True Dragons Mountain caves, secret halls Deep, dark tunnels, great strongholds Endless treasures, rings and jewels Magic and mayhem from the days of old Eyes deep enough to lost in and fall Shadows and gold, world of their own Fire storms raging from the skies Death from above, the burning demise Whirling winds from the wings of doom Darkened horizon, the dreadful cries The Black and the Golden - The Unknown One The Father and the Worm - the last dragons The Black and the Golden - Gostir The Father and the Worm - the true dragons Countless graves, burning walls Frozen pits, dark corridors Piles of skulls, fields of bones Spells of destruction from the days of old Night of a thousand years The beast eternal It knows your deepest fears Knows you are near The long sleep of the guard May betray the brave The spell is cast For the final play 09. Shadow Of The East A weak light mesmerized My troubled mind No rest or ease in these endless nights This lone chamber I have all I need My world and my dreams Still, I feel so hollow Thin and weak is my soul I am all alone But still, I know The One awaits On the other side I am all alone But still, I know There are more of us I hear the calling My spirit is fading The Shadow awaits 10. Avathar Cold shores, long and forlorn At the feet of the mountains Worn cliffs and ravines Watching the pathless sea Mournful, deserted plains Carrying the wailing winds Far from the light of the Trees Beneath the stars, Avathar Once the Silver Flower Cast its shades upon the land As the wayward ark Sailed the twilight welkin But gone are the days No calm of the night Only darkness thick and deep Veils the starless skies Starless skies Home of the Void The shadows of the world The life, the love, the hope Eaten by the ancient spirit Lightless and unexplored Dead and barren path Cursed, forsaken land All She left behind Cold shores, long and forlorn Watching the pathless sea Far from the light of the Trees Beneath the stars, Avathar 11. Caves Of The Forgotten Waiting the Seasons go by Days and years, the everlasting aeons Doomed brigade, hidden and veiled The great tomb without time Sealed until the days of the end Under the earth on the shores of Aman Aman The long night, before the light Or the silence of the ages The second chance, the act of grace Or the gallows and the grave Waiting, right beside my King Regrets, the everlasting tears Failed march against the Sacred Ones Judgement of the Gods The long night, before the light Or the silence of the ages The second chance, the act of grace Or the gallows and the grave No one knows when it is time To unlock the gates The army of the elder awaits In The Caves Of The Forgotten Forgotten... 12. Isenmouthe Through the valley of Udûn The end of the shadowed pass The fortress and the gate Warding the darkened highlands War machines and the drums Watchtowers, the Northern line Foul breath of iron jaws Over the wasted uplands of Gorgoroth Distant lights in the Southern mountains Where the days grow darker than ever before Distant sounds from the Southern mountains Where the nights get longer than ever before Heavy shadows across the moon On a calm and cloudless sky The greatest wall is fear The same fear that holds me And gives me a reason To find the way Heavy shadows across the moon On a calm and cloudless sky There's no gloom in my heart But still I am afraid Night's embrace As it whispers my name The end of the shadowed pass Warding the darkened highlands Watchtowers, the Northern line Crowning the wasted uplands of Gorgoroth
