Cold be hand and heart and bone, and cold be sleep under stone: never more to wake on stony bed, never, till the sun fails and the moon is dead.
In the black wind the stars shall die, and still on gold here let them lie, till the dark lord lifts his hand over dead sea and withered land
[1] When the winter first begins to bite and stones crack in the frosty night, when pools are black and trees are bare, it is evil in the wild to fare.
[repeat 2 first lines of the verse]
To lay down my will upon the Land, Lugbыrz
No sound disturbs this place of blackened souls This winter walls of stone and ice behold thy might Again I'm kneeling down to hear these strange tunes of war Night, oh beloved night, your wisdom floats into my mind, and forms my thoughts of Middle-Earth to build up a new mighty empire
[Repeat 1]
3. Passing Of The Grey Company
Over the land there lies a long shadow, westward reaching wings of darkness. The tower trembles, to the tombs of kings doom approaches. The dead awaken,
for the hour is come for the oathbreakers; at the stone of Erech they shall stand again and hear there a horn in the hills ringing. Whose shall the horn be? Who shall call them from grey twilight, the forgotten people?
the heir of him to whom the oath they swore. From the North shall he come, need shall drive him. He shall pass the door to the path of the dead.
On your knees... The grey company is arriving now...
4. Morthond
We heard horns in hills ringing The swords shining in South-kingdom Steeds went striding to the Stoningland As winds in morning. War was there.
Drowning in dark waters, meres of Morthond beneath the mountain shadows Death in the morning and at day's ending Lords took and lowly. Long now they sleep.
Grey now as tears gleaming silver Red then it rolled roaring water Foam dyed with blood, flamed at a sunset As bacon mountains burned at evening
5. Marching Homewards
here beside me, under endless howling winds my dying race is wandering homewards, led by an old man to shores that don't exist, just emptiness remains...
on and on goes our march gruesome as the light of sun, cold as winds that hide in me
hour after hour, day after day my lullaby is turning and falls gently on this sleeping land like a hawk trembling of hunger and like a burning source...
two years have passed and still my race is wandering through foreign shores... homewards....
My soul is now formed as a knife forwards the heart of your heaven. And so I die...
Still my folk keeps on marching... homewards...

7. Ungolianth
Come to me lady of a foreign shore to pass on your knowledge to me, interrupt these peaceful lands with your odem of pestilence Your lifeform is living in the deepest twilight, the depths of Avathar.
Your odem goes down the green rivers and high up to the blue skies, to the wide open forests and mountains so high, far away to the unknown and at last to destroy the two trees of life on the hills of Ezellohar...
So high my throne, so cold as ice it makes my blue eyes turn red and this red covers my stronghold Angband as a shadow fog to keep it unseen... The Silmaril now covers my crown
Keep away Ungolianth...
8. Dagor Bragollach
In the year 455 it began, the battle of rapid fire. Announced threw flames, more deadly then the third battle. Streams of fire flowing down of Thangorodrin and burned Ardgalen With the blades of steel The orcs they ride, and balrogs and Glaurung the dragon. Having received all his might now Dor Thonion broke down First under this onset, Angrod and aegnor where killed and their folk enslaved. ??? Middle Earth ?? the flame ??? On the planes victory on our side the triumph of Morgoth. ??? Dor Thonion broke down First under this onset, Angrod and aegnor where killed and their folk enslaved. The riders of maglor where sacrificed of the flames on the plains of Lothlann ??? of fire, fire and flame Streams of fire ???
9. Through The Forest Of Dol Guldur
A misty path through woods long past and shrined in silence and runes will keep the secrets of Dol Guldur Far away and over the cold fold mountains our gleaming eyes are searching for a sign and down to the deepest dungeons and to the old forgotten lair We must leave now, before a new day breaks to search for the pale gold that once belonged to the forest
By the sounds of pounding hammers that sound like bells of the elves in our ears... we are still searching in the underground where our dark secrets sleep
10. The Legend Of The Master-Ring
Three rings to elven kings Under the sky, seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone Nine for mortal men doomed to die One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie One Ring to rule them all One Ring to find them One Ring to bring them all And in darkness bind them In the land of Mordor where shadows lie
The earth was trembling by cloven hooves and no stars shined in that night foreseen the Morgul road was hidden by clouds of doom... and trembled again by the outburst of darkness. Ten thousand orcs and trolls, paralyzed with fear of the nazgыl king ??? One ring to rule them all In the gathering of darkness In the lands of Mordor where the shadows Lie
11. Dor Daedeloth
My heart for your word, Ered Engrin, and watch your folk, tired and small all hope lies in its last breath...
You won't fear us, for we won't bring you anything but a fading spirit, the essence of my frost cries...
frost and ice destroy...
My heart for your word, Dor Daedeloth, You have seen the journey of time, and let us half mortal beings, take part of the truth and the solitude of mankind, forever.
Wherever we go, wherever we stand, silence covers the blood soaken land, and so we pass the mountains of Ered Gorgoroth.
Five silhouettes are crossing the planes to the wide opened forest of the west, on and on they are traveling in the direction of Hithlum called Nebelland that made me a King for eternity.
