The Curse of Fëanor

From Tolkien Gateway

The Curse of Fëanor is the sixth track for Blind Guardian's Tolkien themed album, Nightfall in Middle-Earth. Fëanor expresses anger, but has no regret and doesn't stray from his goal to win the Silmarils back.

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

"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

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

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

I, 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
Don't look back
There's still smoke near the shore
But I arrived
Revenge be mine

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
Run!

Suddenly I realized
The prophecies I never believed in (set your spirit free)
My deeds were wrong
I've stained the land and slain my kin (burning soul)
No release from my sins
It hurts (the curse of Fëanor runs on)
Time and only time will tell us
Tell, was I right or wrong?
When anger breaks through
I'll leave mercy behind (behind

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

I, I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow they'll cover my life
But I'll also remember mine
After all I'm still alive (still alive)
I'm still alive (still alive)

Morgoth, I cried
All hope is gone but I swear revenge
Hear my oath
I will take part in your damned fate"
