**************************************** Lyrics: **************************************** Verse 1: **************************************** Taken the long way Dark realms I went through I arrived My vision's so clear In anger and pain I left deep wounds behind But I arrived Truth might be changed by victory **************************************** Verse 2: **************************************** Beyond the void but deep within me A swamp of filth exists A lake it was of crystal beauty But Arda's spring went by I've heard the warning Well curse my name I'll keep on laughing No regret No regret **************************************** Chorus 1: **************************************** Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord Morgoth I cried All hope is gone but I swear revenge Hear my oath I will take part in your damned fate **************************************** Solo 1: | Verse 3: **************************************** I will always remember their cries Like a shadow which covers the light I will always remember the time But it's past I cannot turn back the time (I) don't look back There's still smoke near the shore But I arrived Revenge be mine **************************************** Chorus 2: **************************************** I will take part in your damned fate Morgoth I cried It's my oath So don't fear the eyes Of the dark lord **************************************** Solo 2: | Verse 4: **************************************** Soon you will be free Set your spirit free "Suddenly I realized The prophecies I've never believed in My deeds were wrong I've stained the land And slain my kin (Burning Soul) There's no release from my sins It hurts THE CURSE OF F?ANOR RUNS LONG Time and only time will tell us Tell: was I right or wrong? When anger breaks through I'll leave mercy behind" **************************************** Chorus 2 | Solo 3 | Verse 5: **************************************** I will always remember their cries Like a shadow they'll cover my life But I'll also remember mine (And) after all I'm still alive | Chorus 3 | Outro **************************************** THE END ****************************************
