Gathering Darkness Lyrics by Ring

Tales From Midgard

2004

I could tell you
The moment calls through
Though I hoped it would never come
Your part begins here
The final mist's clear
Don't wait till tomorrow, leave tonight

These are the days without a trust
And travel in secret, yes, you must
Deny yourself now and all your fears how
Be brave and great forces be with you

I hear his voice in the night
A prophecy of no morning light, no
Unless we succeed
To tie back the hands of hate
In the gathering darkness

Be on your guard now
Get out of Shire
And stay off the roads, be still by night
At the homely inn
Is where I'll meet you
Good faith, don't you leave him out of sight

I can't relieve this burden
That heavily rests upon your shoulders
I'm sad to leave you now
But I will seek advice at the head of my order
He will help us to face our destiny

I hear his voice in the night
A prophecy of no morning light, no
Unless we succeed
To tie back the hands of hate
And the gathering darkness

I hear his voice in the night
This demon eye hunts across the sky
Shadows move in the dark
The enemy rides again
In the gathering darkness

I hear his voice in the night
A prophecy of no morning light, no
Unless we succeed
To tie back the hands of hate
In the gathering darkness

I hear his voice in the night
This demon eye hunts across the sky
His magic's too strong
My will come undone
Before this cold and gathering darkness

We fall into darkness
