[Intro] Facing the darkness the light's gone away (I feel cold) Facing the darkness the light's gone away Facing the darkness the light's gone away Facing the darkness the light's gone away [Verse 1] Deep in his castle he said All land be mine There's one thing for sure The triumph of shadow is near Deep in his castle they sang "We shall not rest until all will be thine" [Pre-Chorus] All land is mine You can be sure "Don't dare me" the mighty one screamed [Chorus] Smashed down the light I will not rest till I'm king Valinor's empty now, allied the elves and men They shall be damned Rise of Fall A dark tale ends [Verse 2] Just wondering how, in the darkness They found their way, to the right place Children of the sun, second kindred We call their race, treat them kindly Born in the east, nightfearer They moved westwards, towards the sunshine Morning breath like, short's their lifetime Dawn passes by, when the day comes [Bridge] The field was lost Hope had passed away The sun went down Beyond the sea Dark was the hour But day shall come again [Chorus] Smashed down the light I will not rest till it's done Valinor's empty now, allied the elves and men They shall be damned [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Smashed down the light I will not rest till I'm king Valinor's empty now, allied the elves and men They shall be damned [Verse 3] Clean my wounds Wash away all fear Let courage be mine No one hears me crying No song, no tale, which contains all the grief Renowned the deeds, and the victims of defeat Sit down on your chair and look out for your kin With my eyes you'll see, with my ears you'll hear You've troubled my day and you've questioned my strength Don't mess with the master of fate [Chorus] Smashed down the light I will not rest till it's done Valinor's empty now, allied the elves and men They shall be damned I smashed down the light Dared Valinor I smashed down the light Revenge will be mine [Outro] Slowly marching on Still we're marching on Slowly marching on Still we're marching on Slowly marching on Still we're marching on Slowly marching on Still we're marching on Slowly marching on Still we're marching on Slowly marching on Still we're marching on Slowly marching on
