The Fall of Gondolin Songtext
von Lindarion

In hidden halls beneath the starlit sky
Gondolin stands where shadows die
A fortress wrought with elven might
A beacon in the endless night

Whispers in the dark, a traitor′s hand
Doom creeps slowly 'cross the land

Flames consume the towering spires
Echoes of fate in raging fires
Blades clash and heroes cry
As Gondolin falls from the sky

Seven gates, could not withstand
The fury brought by Morgoth′s hand
Dragons roar and Balrogs stride
The city's hope begins to slide

Idril's tears and Tuor′s call
Guide the lost beyond the wall


Flames consume the towering spires
Echoes of fate in raging fires
Blades clash and heroes cry
As Gondolin falls from the sky

Eärendil, child of light
Escapes the doom into the night
To carry forth the final plea
For mercy across the sundering sea

Flames consume the towering spires
Echoes of fate in raging fires
Blades clash and heroes cry
As Gondolin falls from the sky

In ruins now the city lies
Yet hope survives beyond the skies

Flames consume the towering spires
Echoes of fate in raging fires
Blades clash and heroes cry
As Gondolin falls from the sky

Flames consume the towering spires
Echoes of fate in raging fires
Blades clash and heroes cry
As Gondolin falls from the sky


Flames consume the towering spires
Echoes of fate in raging fires
Blades clash and heroes cry
As Gondolin falls from the sky
