lyrics

Hearken to the King and conqueror of Earth
Wielding a great scepter shining like the sun
To command his strongholds bordering the sea
Inspiring fear and tribute from these lesser Men

A black tower rises and armies march from the East
The fell voice of Sauron echoes an ancient hate
Proclaiming himself the true King over Men
So the armies from Numenor march upon the Black Gate

March from the shores, none dare to stand in our way
Your claim to Kingship is but a folly
Behold our power, whose might drives all creatures to flee
Your orcs are faithless cowards before me

So beg for mercy, chained to the throne of the King
Hearing their counsels and their misgivings
The heart of Man, trembles before his own death
And so shall falter, into darkness falling

"And yet the Valar so have deceived you
Melkor will make you stronger even than they
Curse they who withhold from you eternal life,"
So Sauron spoke in his deceitful way

We curse the Valar and their ban from lands undying
We curse the West and all the fruits thereof
Burn the tree Nimloth, dim its light in kindling
And feed its flames with human sacrifice

All efforts in vain knowing their lives still shall end
Nine years they labored, armament of matchless glory
The lies of Sauron aiming his ships toward the West
To claim his birthright of immortality

So for the first time, mortal feet tread upon Aman
And for the last time, Numenor is displumed
Forfeit your kingdoms, trapped for all time by the One
In caves forgotten, until the Day of Doom
